MyWave, a developer of agentic AI software for optimizing workflows in SAP systems, is working with SAP to help customers streamline and drive rapid ROI in one of their most critical undertakings: migrating from on-prem to cloud ERP.
The two companies last week outlined a program called ROI NOW that’s built to accelerate the move to Cloud ERP and deliver measurable business value rapidly. The migration from on-prem to cloud can often prove challenging due to legacy custom code, time, cost and other factors.
There are past examples where automation tools helped effect smoother, more efficient migrations, and agentic AI is a logical progression in type of automation to effect rapid migrations.
MyWave offers a catalog of AI agents that can be applied to specific SAP functions and used to drive efficient migrations. The two companies are urging MyWave’s 150+ partners to embrace agentic AI to drive ROI. “With MyWave and SAP, you can lead your clients into the agentic AI era and monetize your IP faster,” said Santina Franchi, SAP President, Corporate & GROW, during an online event with MyWave. GROW is SAP’s technology and tools offering to help mid-market companies adopt Cloud ERP.
With MyWave agents, customers gain industry-specific agentic AI capabilities and “your SAP templates become faster, smarter,” Franchi added. “Personalized AI agents learn, act, and deliver outcomes.”
ROI NOW Details
ROI NOW employs AI agents so customers can:
- Accelerate “clean core” adoption to simplify and modernize ERP environments (clean core refers to an implementation that remains as close as possible to standard, with no customizations while using the most up-to-date software version)
- Automating vital processes to unlock ROI across both legacy and Cloud ERP systems
- Ensure business continuity throughout the transformation journey, turning migrations into catalysts for enterprise-wide innovation
- Agentically orchestrating workflows across SAP and non-SAP systems, delivering productivity gains that begin on legacy ERP and scale post-migration
“The AI agents from MyWave, together with SAP, are getting this faster clean core adoption; that means all the Z codes, all the changes, all of the Brownfield sites, we’re able to use AI agents now to basically remove and replace those, rapidly releasing new value,” said Geraldine McBride, CEO of MyWave and former SAP president.
MyWave’s AI agents are being applied to horizontal as well as vertical-industry functions, so they have potentially broad applicability in Cloud ERP migrations. Amy Johnson, MyWave chief product officer, also noted that partners now have the ability to create their own agents with the MyWave platform.
With this partnership, MyWave and SAP are addressing some of the key questions raised by Cloud Wars Founder Bob Evans ahead of the recent Sapphire conference, specifically,
- How will agents and applications work together for customers?
- How will agents extend the investments SAP customers have made in its Business Suite integrated applications platform?
With ROI Now, MyWave and SAP are applying state-of-the-art technology to help customers get the most modern, efficient version of the company’s flagship ERP platform to streamline their business and drive measurable results today. To make that possible, they’re delivering a highly optimized mix of AI, ERP, and Cloud technology.
