At the SAP Sapphire conference yesterday, the ERP conglomerate announced a major collaboration with Microsoft to integrate its generative AI assistant Joule into Microsoft 365. 

This integration is in an effort to improve business productivity by providing access to information across SAP and Microsoft applications. Additionally, the company is embedding Business AI across its enterprise cloud portfolio for better efficiency. 

The bi-directional integration between Joule and Microsoft Copilot will allow employees to perform tasks faster by accessing data and functionalities from both SAP and Microsoft 365 platforms.

For example, Joule can assist in booking flights through SAP Concur while simultaneously updating calendars in Microsoft Outlook, or it can help product managers coordinate business activities using SAP and Microsoft Teams data.

This collaboration addresses a common query about the necessity of multiple AI copilots by focusing on how different copilots can be used in tandem to streamline workflows.

“The integration of Microsoft Copilot and Joule brings together the power of generative AI to unlock greater employee productivity and will enable enterprises to accelerate customer-centric innovation in a unified experience.”  said Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Cloud + AI at Microsoft. 

New Partnerships

Apart from Microsoft, SAP is also partnering with other AI players like Meta, Google Cloud and more. 

Google Cloud: Joint efforts to predict supply-chain risks and maintain inventory levels using Google’s Gemini models and SAP’s supply chain solutions.

Meta: Leveraging Meta Llama 3 for generating scripts that customise analytics applications in SAP Analytics Cloud.

Mistral AI: Adding new LLMs to SAP AI Core’s generative AI hub.

NVIDIA: Integrating NVIDIA’s AI models to support SAP solutions, such as RISE with SAP and the ABAP Cloud model, and simulating manufacturing products with Omniverse Cloud APIs.
