Introducing the Performance & Goals AI Agent in SAP SuccessFactors | 2H 2025 Release Highlights

See how the new Performance & Goals Agent in SAP SuccessFactors helps managers prep for reviews in minutes using SAP Business AI.

In this 2H 2025 release highlight, SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals introduces new capabilities that use SAP Business AI and automation to transform how managers prepare for performance discussions. Senior Director of Product Management Geoff Fettner shares how the new Performance & Goals Agent helps managers save time while improving the quality of every people conversation.

Starting with a simple request in Joule, the agent analyzes employee data such as goals, feedback, and past reviews to generate a clear summary of each employee’s overall performance. In just a few moments, managers get an at-a-glance view of strengths, development areas, and trends, so they can spend less time digging through forms and more time preparing for meaningful dialogue.

Because the agent is connected to your business data, it can also provide tailored insights into specific areas for improvement—plus smart suggestions on how employees can develop and reach their goals. Managers can even ask the agent to create short, clear talking points to guide respectful, confidence-building feedback conversations.

The video also introduces new business rules integration in the performance management form. With powerful conditional logic, your performance forms can automatically adapt in real time based on rating values and other conditions—for example, exposing additional fields or adding another reviewer if a very low rating is given. This helps organizations drive more consistent, fair, and compliant performance reviews while saving time for managers and HR.

Together, these innovations help organizations modernize performance management with AI-driven insights, dynamic forms, and guided conversations, all embedded in SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals as part of the broader SAP SuccessFactors Human Experience Management suite.

Developer Demo: SAP Knowledge Graph | SAP HANA Cloud + LLM Q&A | SAP TechEd 2025

See how SAP HANA Cloud’s Knowledge Graph powers LLM-ready Q&A – grounded in real business context and SAP data.

In this keynote demo for developers, we show how to activate the triple store in SAP HANA Cloud and use the Knowledge Graph engine to model relationships (people, demos, capabilities) as RDF triples, then query them with natural language. The ontology captures who is presenting which demos and which SAP capabilities they cover; SAP HANA stores it as triples and exposes it for SPARQL queries.

To make this practical, we connect a Python package to the same SAP HANA instance, instantiate the graph, and route a plain-English question through an LLM available via SAP AI Core / Generative AI Hub. The model auto-generates SPARQL, executes it against SAP HANA, and returns precise answers (including links, thanks to RDF). This pattern, graph semantics + LLM planning, grounds AI with business context to reduce hallucinations and improve answer quality.

We also touch on how SAP’s broader data fabric makes this stronger: SAP Business Data Cloud innovations and SAP Snowflake (as a solution extension) help keep data where it lives while sharing semantics and governance – so graphs, agents, and analytics can work across your landscape without brittle copies.

Speaker: Witalij Rudnicki, Developer Advocate, SAP

00:03 – Setup: Why use SAP HANA Cloud + SAP Knowledge Graph
00:11 – Activate triple store; load ontology & triples
01:19 – Connect via Python; instantiate the graph
01:42 – Use SAP AI Core LLM to generate SPARQL from natural language
02:23 – Answers returned; RDF links to web resources; wrap

Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Shifts into High Gear with SAP Cloud ERP, Driving Precision and Performance

WALLDORF — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is leveraging intelligent enterprise solutions from SAP to drive operational excellence, innovation, and regulatory compliance as the sport prepares for the new 2026 FIA financial regulations.

Cloud ERP: Seize opportunities and secure your success with an integrated suite of solutions

With the 2026 cost cap set to increase to US$215 million to accommodate new technical regulations and previously exempted items, Formula One (F1) teams face growing complexity in managing performance within strict financial boundaries. Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team has partnered with SAP to meet this challenge head-on.

Once the Team adopts SAP Cloud ERP Private solutions as its digital core, the team will be enabled with real-time financial insights, predictive analytics, and streamlined operations across the organization. The team will also be able to utilize SAP Business AI to forecast budget needs, optimize supply chains, and manage inventory with precision—critical capabilities under the evolving cost cap framework.

A key use case is the management of the team’s stock inventory, where SAP Cloud ERP Private serves as the foundation for tracking and valuing more than 14,500 individual components in each race car. This system reduces manual effort in FIA reporting and better ensures accurate, real-time valuation of parts—an essential requirement under the new financial regulations. Additionally, the cloud-based architecture helps ensure high availability, especially important during race weekends when operations are most critical.

“SAP’s technology gives us the agility and transparency we need to compete at the highest level while staying within the financial guardrails of the sport,” said Michael Taylor, Director of IT, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. “With SAP, we’re not just racing faster—we’re racing smarter.”

The 2026 cost cap regulations, which include broader expense categories and stricter reporting requirements, demand a new level of financial discipline. SAP solutions will help Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team:

  • Track and allocate costs across R&D, manufacturing, and race operations
  • Automate compliance reporting with built-in audit trails
  • Model financial scenarios to support strategic decision-making

The team is harnessing SAP Business AI to strengthen sustainability tracking and operational decision-making—key priorities under the evolving 2026 FIA financial regulations. Intelligent data models are being used to reduce carbon footprint and improve efficiency, while predictive capabilities support inventory and supply chain optimization. In parallel, the team is using SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP Build solutions to develop custom applications that digitalize workflows and enhance collaboration across departments.

“The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team is setting the standard for digital transformation and AI-driven progress in motorsport,” said Sebastian Steinhaeuser, Member of the Executive Board and Chief Operating Officer, SAP SE. “Together, we’re proving that operational excellence and innovation can go hand in hand—even at 300 km per hour.”
