Led by SAP Executive Board Member Muhammad Alam, in charge of SAP Product & Engineering, SAP executives announced a string of business AI innovations, including role-aware Joule assistants, during the kickoff keynote at the inaugural SAP Connect event in Las Vegas this week.
Against the backdrop of the event theme—”Connect Everything, Achieve Anything: Agents, Data, and the Business Suite”—they set out SAP’s vision for how SAP Business Suite, which combines AI, data, and applications, can transform enterprises and deliver unprecedented business value to customers despite global macroeconomic uncertainties.
Unique times
“We are living in very unique times,” Alam said at the start of the keynote. “Unique in terms of the unpredictability we face from a geopolitical and macroeconomic perspective, and also unique in terms of the advancement in AI and the potential that carries for all of us.”
He added, “Even the most significant challenges can be responded to, navigated, and—when approached the right way—turned into opportunities. And that’s exactly where SAP comes in. Because the best way to face uncertainty is with confidence that you can see what’s happening across your business and your network.”
