AI-driven workflows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The euphoria surrounding AI in the SAP community has now given way to questions about its added value. While queries and image generation are already standard, the focus in the future will be on autonomous AI-agent-based workflows. In the SAP community, the view has taken hold that AI applications can only be used in the cloud. In fact, however, SAP users do not have to wait for S\/4 HANA or the cloud. The Milliarum AI Construction Kit bridges this gap. It enables AI applications and agents to be implemented on-premises using ABAP-based technology and to leverage SAP data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SAP customers and SAP partners are provided with a tool to make their solutions AI-ready. AI functions run outside the core ERP system and securely access SAP data via defined interfaces, subject to appropriate authorizations. Business objects and process data are utilized via standardized APIs, allowing AI applications to operate independently of the ERP system. They are explicitly designed to comply with SAP\u2019s restrictive API policy and can also be seamlessly integrated into Joule, migrated to the cloud, or used in a hybrid environment via an OData service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost-Benefit Analysis Slows Down AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The biggest hurdles on the path to AI implementation lie less in the architecture and more in scaling to complex business processes. The token consumption of large language models can quickly lead to high costs while delivering only limited added value. SAP processes are complex and data-intensive. Milliarum offers the bridge technology needed here: By extracting Customizing data and utilizing standard SAP functions, even complex, chained business use cases can be mapped. Batch functions enable the efficient processing of large volumes of data and lay the groundwork for AI-powered process automation. The open Model Context Protocol enables integration with other AI platforms, such as ChatGPT or Claude AI. The tool offers over 1,000 predefined functions for core SAP modules such as FI, SD, MM, CO, PS, and CS, which can be used directly to implement automated use cases. This gives even users without in-depth SAP knowledge quick and easy access to SAP data and processes\u2014for example, in call centers or customer service when handling inquiries about delivery orders or prices. Even complex workflows can be automated, such as generating an invoice as a PDF and then automatically sending it via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this way, the software lays the foundation for AI-based agent systems that will increasingly execute processes autonomously in the future. A key driver of efficiency lies in reducing token consumption: Companies can freely choose the right LLM provider or operate LLMs themselves and deploy the most cost-effective model depending on the use case. At the same time, on-demand function calls ensure that only the data relevant to the respective use case is passed to the model. In this way, companies can generate tangible added value even within existing on-premises environments while simultaneously laying the technological foundation for the next generation of AI-powered agent systems and agent-to-agent communication.
