Additionally, SAP announced a partnership with Microsoft to integrate CoPilot with Joule, providing a seamless experience regardless of which digital assistant you use. Over 50 embedded use cases are now available within your applications, ready for immediate use, and SAP plans to deliver over 100 Generative AI scenarios by the end of 2024.

Another exciting announcement focused on the evolution of RISE with SAP. Guided by the SAP Enterprise Architect, this new approach ensures you can fully integrate without modifying your ERP while managing processes, systems, and data layers harmoniously in a highly secure and reliable cloud environment.

Following that, GROW with SAP updates were unveiled, designed to help mid-size companies leverage AI capabilities.
