It's Sapphire 2026 post keynote and my SAP consulting #1 job is now: figure out which acronyms are new, which are renamed, and which got a Joule sticker! Here is my new cheat sheet: Joule (copilot) -> Joule Work. (pictures below) - one conversational front-end for everything, with dynamically generated screens. As a 10+ year SAP AppHaus, I love this idea. BTW Muhammad Alam is a natural up there on stage. BTP + BDC + AI -> SAP Business AI Platform. Glad to hear it's back together again Shane Gorman. Still where you build stuff, where data sits, and Joule Studio 2.0. Speaking of which... Joule Studio -> 2.0. This one is pretty big, screen shots for this too. Intent-based agent builder, Cursor, Claude Code, some interesting n8n integrations. Excited for this Dr. Michael Ameling SAP Business Suite -> SAP Autonomous Suite. I think SAP nailed their differentiator in this keynote honestly, well done Christian Klein. It was less about tech stacks and more about representing their understanding / IP around business process, customer context and building AI on top of that. Also with 51 assistants and 224 agents. Dr. Philipp Herzig let's keep them coming! Fiori Apps -> App*less / no*apps. (hard to write that without the *). Talk to Joule and it can render screens. Other terms for this may be Generative UI/UX, or headless. This has been tried before talking to Sam Yen, but now the tech is real. Industry Cloud -> Industry AI. Seven sectors with AI Agents / assistants. Again, this is where SAP differentiates. Sebastian Steinhaeuser Rise with SAP -> Rise with AI. Now with 3 free Joule Assistants bundled. (will have to see what bundled means, probably not runtime?) Excited to see where this progresses. Manual transformation -> Agent-led transformation. Assistants spanning across all delivery project phases for clean-core, upgrades, etc. This disrupts a pretty big ecosystem of tools, but I think for the better. Also was very cool to see the $100M fund for building Joule Agents. I hope this gets used quickly. Oh, and great call-out from Muhammad Alam: this all works on ECC, and pre-S/4 (so long as on RISE journey). That was the biggest applause / customer call-out. Net net: customers seemed genuinely excited this year, and are asking how to get started, so great first reactions. Also a shoutout to our awesome team celebrating our 20 Joule Agent win. Fun times ahead.
