SAP just announced 7 AI migration and modernization assistants at SAP Sapphire, and they’re designed to do one thing: fundamentally simplify ERP migration at scale.

In this episode of Rise into the Future, host Pratibha sits down with Sören and Sonja – two SAP product leaders building the next evolution of the RISE with SAP transformation journey – to unpack what agent-led transformation actually means, how it works, and when customers can get access.

Really interesting takeaway from Ricard Rovira Marti from Vodafone.

Instead of replacing governance, SAP Business Data Cloud is helping enable it: by building a knowledge layer that keeps data connected and meaningful across systems.

A great example of how to balance innovation with control.

Here’s the paradox of the AI era: the more we automate operational tasks, the more profoundly human leadership becomes.

For too long, leadership has been conflated with management, overseeing workflows, tracking progress, and running the operational engine. But AI is poised to take on much of that work, freeing up leaders to do what they were always meant to do: solve complex problems that require nuanced, critical, and uniquely human judgment.

The real work is navigating the leadership dilemmas and strategic challenges that no algorithm can solve. This shift doesn’t diminish the role of a leader; it elevates it.

In this clip, Muizz Bolanji of @danfoss shares his perspective on why this is the most exciting opportunity for leaders today. It’s time to move from managing processes to leading people.

See how SAP Logistics Management and Joule help logistics teams detect delivery risks, resolve warehouse bottlenecks, and keep fulfillment on track.

In this demo, demand for event kits spikes just days before SAP Sapphire, creating pressure on outbound packing capacity. A logistics clerk uses SAP Logistics Management to identify delivery risks in real time, then consults Joule to assess the backlog, prioritize urgent shipments, and recommend a mitigation plan.

With SAP Embodied AI running on SAP Business AI Platform, Joule triggers an SAP Embodied AI Agent that translates delivery requirements and warehouse context into robot tasks. Through Cyberwave, autonomous robots are dynamically reassigned to restore packing capacity, reduce backlog, and support on-time fulfillment during peak demand.

The result is a closed loop from risk detection to execution: faster response, stabilized throughput, and more resilient logistics operations.

Turn structured business data into accurate predictive insights faster with SAP-RPT-1.5.

SAP-RPT-1.5 is a relational pretrained transformer model built for structured and relational business data. Unlike large language models designed for text or images, SAP-RPT models are purpose-built to understand how business data is connected, helping teams generate reliable predictions from tables, records, and relationships.

With in-context learning, users can provide a few example records directly in API calls to guide predictions without costly or complex model training. SAP-RPT-1.5 is designed to handle evolving schemas and missing values more robustly, helping teams move faster from data to insight.

Choose SAP-RPT-1.5 small for high-throughput, low-latency use cases, or SAP-RPT-1.5 large for high-accuracy predictions in more complex scenarios. Both are available in SAP’s generative AI hub.

See how Churchill Downs Incorporated uses SAP Cloud ERP to support the scale, speed, and complexity behind Kentucky Derby week.

For Churchill Downs, “the best two minutes in sports” is a year-round operation. As the business expanded beyond the track into regional gaming and historical horse racing, the organization needed a technology foundation that could support growth, standardize operations, and help teams make faster decisions.

With SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and SAP Business Suite, Churchill Downs has connected core processes across finance, HR, expenses, and procurement. By moving away from customized systems and manual processes, the organization can drive greater consistency, efficiency, and visibility across business units, including newly acquired operations.

The team also partnered with the SAP Mission Control Center to support a successful go-live, helping reduce disruption and build confidence in the platform. Looking ahead, Churchill Downs sees AI as an important part of its future, helping teams make more data-driven decisions, improve efficiency, and continue creating memorable guest experiences.
