SAP business AI 02

Make your SAP S/4HANA agentic in the cloud and on prem

Agentic AI represents a fundamental shift in how intelligence is embedded in SAP S/4HANA. Instead of passively responding to prompts, AI agents are designed to understand intent, reason over business context, and autonomously execute multi-step actions within SAP processes. In an S/4HANA landscape, this means AI can actively participate in business workflows, from retrieving and validating data to triggering follow-up actions across systems.

Watch the agentic AI webinar

Missed the Dev2Dev webinar or want to rewatch it? This is what you'll learn:

  • Understand how AI agents can reshape workflows and get ideas to start experimenting.
  • Discover what's available out of the box with SAP Agent Builder and Joule Studio.
  • Gain insight into how MCP-based architectures enable agentic interaction with on-prem S/4 systems.

A key takeaway is that agentic AI is not limited to cloud-only environments. While cloud deployments naturally benefit from native AI services such as SAP Joule, the same principles can be applied to on-premise or hybrid SAP S/4HANA setups. By connecting with an MCP server, agents can interact with SAP systems through APIs, events, and integration layers. MCP is the “protocol” that helps to bring the necessary context to AI models to answer business questions and get more reliable answers. This approach makes it possible to introduce agentic behavior and start experimenting without disrupting core ERP stability.

Want to start experimenting with agentic AI in your ERP system?

We can help you define the scope, set up a testing environment, and outline a further roadmap for implementing an AI agent in your S/4HANA environment.
