Artificial intelligence is shaking up the enterprise technology landscape and for software giant SAP, the stakes are particularly high. 

After all, the German company spent over half a century building software solutions that connect core business processes from finance, supply chain management, manufacturing, human resources to even analytics in a single, integrated environment. 

These solutions were optimised for humans to track operations, manage finances and conduct scenario testing across departments and silos.

But what will happen to the enterprise software firm when the ones taking charge of these business processes are no longer humans, but AI agents?

Well, it’ll have to build an ecosystem for catering to the needs of autonomous enterprises.

In May 2026, the firm launched the SAP Business Platform that teaches AI agents how to use and work through its enterprise software based on the context of its customers’ workflows.

Besides teaching agents how to use its software, SAP also introduced the SAP Autonomous Suite, which enables SAP’s existing business applications with AI agents capable of running processes from start-to-finish.

Finally, it also launched the Joule Work, a new user experience that redefines how people work with enterprise software. 

For instance, instead of navigating multiple applications and screens to search for data or to conduct scenario testing, users can interact with Joule, who will then find out the right combination of workflows, data and even seek the help of AI agents. 

But can SAP turn decades of enterprise data, workflows and customer relationships into an advantage to supercharge its growth in the AI era? And where does Asia Pacific fit into its next phase of growth?

On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Verena Siow, Regional President, Asia Pacific, SAP.
