Accenture is collaborating with SAP to help organizations adopt generative AI across their core business processes. Together, the companies will create AI-enabled solutions and use cases that can enhance an organization’s investment in SAP® technology by improving business performance and employee productivity, accelerating time to value with SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
Building on four decades of alliance partnership with SAP, Accenture will expand its capabilities in SAP Business AI technology and SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) to help clients power critical business processes in the cloud and enhance the way enterprise users interact with SAP applications. Accenture will also help enterprises leverage Joule®, SAP’s new natural-language generative AI copilot, to take the SAP software experience to the next level by fundamentally changing how business decisions are made.
“Accenture is helping clients across industries to responsibly use generative AI to reinvent businesses by transforming work, streamlining operations, enhancing customer experiences and driving sustainable growth,” said Karthik Narain, group chief executive Technology, Accenture. “Through our strengthened collaboration with SAP, we can help our clients leverage the transformative potential of generative AI to address complex and pressing business needs, unlocking their full potential.”
Building on Accenture’s $3 billion investment in AI and tapping into the Accenture Center for Advanced AI, Accenture will help clients discover the business requirements and opportunities of generative AI; conduct rapid, value-focused experiments to measure and show benefits; design and implement solutions, update operating models, and scale generative AI for transformational change across the organization. Specifically, Accenture is exploring new solutions and use cases across the following areas:
- Leveraging generative AI to help accelerate the transition from legacy SAP ERP Central Component to SAP S/4HANA Cloud by auto generating code, documentation and test scripts;
- Infusing generative AI into industry-specific applications running on SAP BTP to strengthen and help accelerate interoperability within an organization’s digital core;
- Enhancing a digital twin use case based on supply chain management software from SAP, including a generative AI-enabled chatbot that suggests a solution in response to supply disruptions to minimize revenue impact; and
- Extending and personalizing a digital-twin chatbot based on financial software from SAP to improve ad-hoc reporting and analysis performed by customer finance organizations.
“Generative AI offers a whole new world of opportunities for our customers. By deeply embedding SAP Business AI capabilities into our business processes and analytics built on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), organizations can create AI-powered extensions and applications, enabling them to keep up with the fast pace of innovation and maintain the flexibility they need,” said Juergen Mueller, chief technology officer, SAP SE. “Our partnership with Accenture allows us to bring SAP Business AI and SAP BTP together to create AI-enabled solutions and tools personalized to our customers’ needs to accelerate their realization of business value in the cloud.”
