Autonomous Enterprise: Your Opportunity Starts Now
SAP is entering a new era — where AI transforms how businesses operate, and partners are the force multiplier that brings this vision to life.
A Fundamental Shift in How Enterprises Operate
The Autonomous Enterprise is SAP's vision for the future of business — where AI transforms how people work and how processes run by grounding decisions in real-time intelligence, automating end-to-end workflows, and proactively improving every function so organisations can outperform every expectation.
This isn't incremental improvement. It's a fundamental shift in how enterprises operate.
Building on the suite-as-a-service foundation established at SAP Sapphire 2025, SAP is now moving customers from point-solution AI to enterprise-wide autonomous operations. The announcements at SAP Sapphire 2026 represent SAP's pivotal entry into this new era — with a reimagined portfolio purpose-built for AI-native business.

Accelerate the evolution to an Autonomous Enterprise with agent-led transformation, delivered through RISE and GROW
One place to direct the business.
AI does the busy work, so you do your best work.
Joule Work is where you run the business. Instead of switching between systems, you stay in one place. Assistants bring the context. Agents move the work. You make the decisions that matter.
Easily accessible on mobile or desktop, by text or voice.
Joule Work, beyond chat
Less navigation. Faster action. Better decisions.
Joule
your intelligence behind every assistant, agent, and insight.
Joule Work
your workspace to direct assistants, get answers, and move work forward.
Joule Assistants + Agents
your expert teammates that execute across every system.
People direct. Assistants coordinate. Agents execute.
The Autonomous Suite is the operational core of the business. It spans five domains so workflows and agents run across functions without fragmenting into separate tools, separate data, or separate decisions.
The domains move as a single system. A decision in one shows up in all. No integration tax. No stitched-together stack.
The result: a business that runs leaner, moves faster, and bends without breaking.
AI Assistants and Agents reinvent the procure-to-pay process
The Autonomous Suite is built around five autonomous business domains
