Most organizations see the potential of AI but struggle to translate this ambition into measurable business-wide results. Fragmented processes, limited AI expertise, and inconsistent data preparation often make it difficult to overcome isolated experiments.
This is where SAP and the SAP partner ecosystem make a decisive difference.
Together, we help our customers translate their AI strategies into meaningful results by combining partner industry expertise with SAP Business AI, which brings hundreds of domain-specific and rich capabilities integrated into SAP applications. These features help automate processes, improve decision-making, and improve employee productivity across the enterprise.
SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) amplifies this foundation by providing customers with the ability to integrate, extend and build AI-based solutions in a scalable and secure environment.
Across industries, SAP and our partners are helping customers realize real value from AI. The examples below show how organizations are already achieving tangible impact today.
Improve efficiency with AI-driven process automation
Manual and repetitive processes remain one of the biggest obstacles to operational excellence. The SAP partner ecosystem plays a critical role in helping customers uncover these inefficiencies and rethink them with AI-driven automation.
For frozen food manufacturer FRoSTA, SAP partners sovanta AG and Amista identified invoice processing as a major bottleneck. By orchestrating the workflow using SAP Build Process Automation and extracting, interpreting and validating data through SAP Document AI, partners were able to automate the end-to-end process. Invoices that once required several minutes of manual effort now move through the system in less than a minute, with approximately 60% fully automated. Employees can redirect their attention to higher-value tasks, like resolving exceptions and collaborating with suppliers.
This is the power of combining partner expertise with SAP Business AI and SAP BTP solutions: organizations are quickly moving from automating isolated tasks to connected, intelligent workflows that scale across departments and regions. What starts as a single use case becomes the basis of a broader automation strategy: accelerating processes, reducing manual efforts, and tightening the connection between data, people, and decisions.
Accelerate innovation by making AI accessible to every team
As demand for AI grows, many organizations face a familiar obstacle: the scarcity of specialized AI talent. SAP Ecosystem Partners help bridge this gap by combining their industry knowledge with SAP Business AI and SAP BTP tools that enable enterprise teams to rapidly experiment, prototype, and deploy AI solutions.
A good example comes from Aspen Pumps, which partnered with NTT DATA to modernize routine operational tasks. Using the low-code capabilities of SAP Build to design and orchestrate workflows and SAP AI Core to power AI models, the team quickly developed a series of automation bots, 12 in total. These now streamline activities such as invoice validation, order routing and even CAD drawing interpretation to speed up quote creation. Multiple proof-of-concept initiatives were completed in less than a week, demonstrating how accessible innovation becomes when intelligent capabilities are built directly into the tools teams already use.
By reducing barriers to experimentation, SAP and its partners help organizations innovate faster and with more confidence. Teams can explore new ideas, test them securely, and scale what works, without waiting for limited technical resources or long development cycles. Innovation becomes a daily practice and not a specialized activity reserved for a few.
Build a future-ready foundation with a scalable and extensible architecture
As AI becomes increasingly integrated into business operations, executives are prioritizing platforms that will evolve with it, without constraining it. This is where SAP Partners help customers design architectures that can scale with changing market needs while maintaining the stability of their core systems.
Steel manufacturer Al Ghurair Iron and Steel (AGIS) offers a striking example. Working with Deloitte, the company reinvented its production planning process using SAP Business AI integrated with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, combined with the integration and extension capabilities of SAP BTP. A planning cycle that once required 15 minutes of manual coordination now takes less than five. The solution has been replicated across multiple sites and more than 400 calculations are now automated, giving teams more time to analyze results and optimize operations rather than managing spreadsheets.
When SAP Business AI and SAP BTP combine their partners’ expertise, businesses gain a foundation to build on as their AI ambitions grow. They can scale new capabilities across factories, regions or business units; expand processes without disrupting critical systems; and seamlessly connect SAP and non-SAP environments into a cohesive, intelligent landscape.
Transforming the potential of AI into business transformation
These stories demonstrate what becomes possible when customers, SAP and our partners work together: faster processing, smarter decisions, empowered employees, and architectures designed for agility and long-term growth.
Through the combined strength of the SAP Partner Ecosystem, the domain-rich intelligence of SAP Business AI, and the extensibility of SAP BTP, organizations can go beyond pilot projects and integrate AI where it matters most: in the daily processes and decisions that run their business.
