Artificial Intelligence Floods SAP Sapphire
SAP has brought together 15,000 people at its conferences in Orlando and Barcelona, where it held its European edition.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making steady progress in the business world. This phenomenon has been the protagonist at the annual SAP Sapphire 2024 congress, which has had two editions this year: an American one held in Orlando and a European one in Barcelona.
With nearly 15,000 attendees between the two, these editions of SAP Sapphire have allowed us to know the innovations and alliances of SAP in generative AI, as well as stories of transformation of various companies.
SAP has decided to integrate Business AI into its portfolio of cloud computing solutions to drive critical processes and, with it, a new wave of insight. This will not only change “how you work with SAP solutions, but how you work in general”, according to Christian Klein, CEO of the German company.
“The AI announcements and partnerships,” he explains, “build on our commitment to deliver breakthrough technology that drives real-world results, helping customers empower the agility and ingenuity they need to succeed in today’s changing business landscape.”
