"At SAP TechEd 2025 in Berlin, a troika of technical executives unveiled artificial intelligence (AI)-driven features in the supplier's SAP Build platform, disclosed more agents in its Joule AI assistance portfolio and pointed to expanded partnerships with data specialist companies, most notably and recently Snowflake. These relationships betoken, according to SAP, a commitment to opening up its platforms to build a strong foundation for AI among its customers."
"Revisiting the "flywheel" concept SAP trumpeted at its Sapphire conference in May, Muhammad Alam, executive board member and product and engineering senior vice-president at the company, said: "Innovations across SAP's unique flywheel of applications, data and AI put developers in the driver's seat - where they belong." Michael Ameling, president of SAP Business Technology Platform, stated that the supplier's in-memory, columnar database, Hana, is the "database AI has always been looking for"."
SAP introduced AI-driven features in the SAP Build platform, expanded the Joule AI agent portfolio, and broadened partnerships with data specialists, including Snowflake. The event theme emphasized "getting real" about AI. Innovations across a flywheel of applications, data and AI aim to put developers in control. The Hana in-memory, columnar database is positioned as particularly suited for AI workloads. Predictive use cases emphasize traditional machine learning rather than large language models for enterprise-scale scenarios. SAP Build now supports agentic development tools via Model Context Protocol Servers, offers a Visual Studio Code extension, and enables autonomous, data-grounded agents.
