Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute — your daily cloud news and commentary show. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the “reimagination machine” that is the cloud.
In today’s Cloud Wars Minute, I explore how SAP’s AI Revolution could redefine enterprise software through agents, data, and industry-specific intelligence.
Highlights
00:03 — We are reporting here from the Sapphire show floor in Orlando. It’s been a wild week here, and I had a great chance to talk with SAP Chief Operating Officer, Sebastian Steinhäuser about some of the changes that are going on there inside what I call SAP’s AI Revolution.
00:21 — Covering everything from what it’s doing with agents, how it’s redefining their apps, how it’s building up its Data Platform, and more. Sebastian offers some great insights into all of that, and we talked about it in a full-length video linked to down below.
Community Summit North America is the largest independent innovation, education, and training event for Microsoft business applications delivered by Expert Users, Microsoft Leaders, MVPs, and Partners. Register now to attend Community Summit in Nashville, TN from October 11-15.
01:13 — (Sebastian offers insights about) the rise of data within SAP becoming the foundation for everything, the Business Data Cloud moving into a very powerful area, the Business AI Platform now consolidating some different sort of platforms and technologies that SAP had so that customers can gain more from that more quickly.
02:00 — SAP sees the world, and Sebastian describes this, where there’s going to be tens, hundreds of thousands of agents, perhaps millions, you know, a few years out. And certainly SAP is not going to build all of those. So it’s going to be the partners that do this.
03:09 — SAP is more focused than ever before on delivering not just code (that happens to be what they make) but what SAP’s real focus is: delivering superb business outcomes for customers.
