Editor's note

For several years, SAP has labored to infuse AI throughout its product line and meet the AI moment, while major competitors are doing the same. It's a daunting effort practically forced on SAP when generative AI took the world by storm in 2022. The timing could hardly have been worse. SAP was already facing two great challenges: reorienting development toward cloud computing and moving customers from legacy ERP to next-generation S/4HANA.

The latest results of this balancing act will be on display at SAP Sapphire 2025, to be held May 19-21 in Orlando.

SAP promises to release more than 400 AI use cases for its cloud products this year. Recent introductions that link AI with data -- notably Business Data Cloud -- should get prominent billing alongside the AI apps. And, as always, companies that successfully adopted S/4HANA Cloud ERP will be held up as examples to emulate.
