Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SAP Chief Customer Officer Thomas Saueressig Reflects on SAP's API Policy, Autonomous Enterprise Vision, and Recent Acquisitions
Q: What is your view on how AI landscape clarity is evolving and how SAP is simplifying the architecture for customers?
We are consolidating data assets (BDC, BTP) and AI foundation into a seamless Business AI Platform, enabling multi-agent orchestration with strong governance, so customers see clearer paths and reduced complexity as frontier models and tabular foundations mature.
SAP Chief Customer Officer Thomas Saueressig Reflects on SAP's API Policy, Autonomous Enterprise Vision, and Recent Acquisitions
Q: So the first one I'd like to touch on is hearing your thoughts and commentary on the AI policy, the ODP RFC policies that all came out just before Orlando.
The policy aligns with the market reality that every SaaS player has API governance; SAP aims to balance openness with prescriptive governance to protect customer data and system integrity, while enabling customer-specific and partner integrations under a secure, controlled framework.
Agentic AI, SAP Joule, and the Future of Enterprise Architecture
Q: How should organizations approach the adoption of AI within their S/4HANA transformations?
Approach should treat AI as a layer integrated into end-to-end processes, ensure data from SAP and external sources is accessible via Data Sphere, and align with security governance from day zero to maximize ROI and minimize risk.
Agentic AI, SAP Joule, and the Future of Enterprise Architecture
Q: What are some concrete examples of how enterprise architects can use agentic AI to improve their work processes?
EA teams can use agentic AI to document as-is architectures more efficiently, analyze target architectures with intelligent recommendations, and generate roadmaps that include cost implications, risk assessments, and compliance checks.
Agentic AI, SAP Joule, and the Future of Enterprise Architecture
Q: To kick things off, how would you say AI has most significantly changed enterprise architecture and the work of enterprise architects?
AI is moving EA from a mostly automated toolkit to an autonomous framework where systems understand intent, map cross-system processes, and guide multi-step workflows, ultimately reducing manual effort and increasing alignment with business goals.
