What was the key takeaway from SAP Sapphire 2026, SAP’s annual global conference? AI is no longer a future discussion. It is becoming part of everyday business operations. From finance and procurement to supply chain and reporting, AI is being embedded directly into ERP platforms. One of the biggest announcements was SAP’s partnership with Anthropic, bringing Claude’s reasoning capabilities into SAP’s AI ecosystem and Joule agents. But the real takeaway? AI is not the differentiator anymore. The differentiator is the systems behind it, including your ERP and broader business systems, and the data within them. Because AI will not fix broken processes or fragmented data. It will amplify them. For growing organisations, the focus is shifting from “how do we use AI?” to “are our systems and data ready for it?” We unpacked the key announcements and what they mean here: https://lnkd.in/gZv2yvWx #SAP #SAPSapphire #CloudERP #BusinessAI #ERP #ArtificialIntelligence

Finance teams are under pressure to plan faster, forecast more accurately, and make decisions with less manual work. For many businesses, financial planning still means spreadsheets everywhere, disconnected reports, and too much time spent pulling numbers together. That’s why AI-powered financial planning tools are becoming such a big focus, for businesses looking to improve visibility and decision-making. If you missed our recent session, the Solver (xFP&A) replay for SAP Business One users is now available: https://lnkd.in/gkDvdETH #Solver #xFP&A #SAPBusinessOne #FinancialPlanning #AI #ERP #BusinessTechnology

AI is no longer a future conversation - it is already delivering real business outcomes. At the Microsoft AI Tour Sydney 2026 on last week, our team had the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, learn from the best, and explore how AI is moving from experimentation into production. A few key takeaways stood out: • The shift to Agentic AI - moving beyond chatbots to systems that can plan and execute • The rise of balanced autonomy - where AI scales execution while humans guide strategy • Real-world case studies proving measurable ROI, not just pilot success The message is clear: the tools are ready. The question now is how quickly organisations can turn AI into real, operational value. Our reflections and insights here: https://lnkd.in/gJZjZk3t #AI #Microsoft #Agentic #MicrosoftAI #Australia
