SAP-Solution: CCoE

SAP’s Autonomous Enterprise offers a wide range of opportunities, from Agentic AI to Composable ERP. All the necessary IT tools for this are available in SAP’s portfolio. Ultimately, however, the question of affordability—based on licenses, maintenance, and Digital Access—remains.

Tabular foundation models seem tailor-made for SAP’s ABAP world. In an ERP system where everything is based on tables, an LLM (Large Language Model) has no place. With TabPFN (Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network), the startup Prior Labs can save SAP’s Autonomous Enterprise.

AI knows only one path: to solve a given task optimally and once and for all! What seems like a radical approach to humans is, for the machine, its logical raison d’être. Because AI has no humanistic values, it will continue to optimize until its very end.

Hyperscaler power or European control? German companies want both. According to the Valantic study „Sovereign Hypercloud,“ many companies are focusing on expanding their IT infrastructure in Europe to combine the performance of international hyperscalers with greater sovereignty.

SAP customers are under double pressure: they have to operate existing systems stably and manage the transformation towards the cloud and new operating models. For DSAG Austria board member Walter Schinnerer, it is clear that the real challenge lies in the organization.

For decades, the Z namespace was the wild west of SAP development with unlimited possibilities. Abap developers transformed the rigid standard processes of R/3 and ECC 6.0 into tailor-made suits for the specialist departments.

Even if the ERP operating model is changing and the preference of existing SAP customers has not yet been determined: from on-prem to hybrid to private and public cloud or even a sovereign cloud.

SAP users who choose strictly between best-of-breed tools and suite solutions for SAP Basis automation solutions are missing out on optimization potential. It makes sense to use a suite as a "central point of management" with the integration of other tools.
