Summary
At SAP Connect, SAP presented its "Autonomous Enterprise" model, based on Joule Work, Joule Assistants and SAP Autonomous Suite, built on SAP Business AI Platform. According to Christian Klein, CEO of SAP, these tools help companies such as Novartis, Morgan Foods, Nestlé and PwC connect artificial intelligence to their processes. Novartis is testing an AI assistant for procurement, Morgan Foods is building a predictive supply chain, Nestlé is rolling out Joule on SAP S/4HANA in 140 countries to prioritise collections, and PwC uses an invoicing assistant.
