Key highlights:
Intelligent Automation: Streamline Accounts Payable/Receivable and financial close processes with SAP Business AI, dramatically reducing manual effort (e.g., a 71% reduction in AR matching effort).

This isn't just about integrating new tech—it's about transforming finance into an intelligent, insightful, and profoundly impactful driver of business value.
SAP customers know cloud is the future—but how do you modernize without disrupting critical operations?
The SAP Business Suite Acceleration Program with Microsoft Azure helps enterprises move beyond lift-and-shift with a smarter, phased approach.
Key highlights:
Hybrid Cloud Flexibility – Run SAP workloads across on-prem and Azure
Finance-Ready Modernization – Build the foundation for faster closes and AI-driven insights
Embedded AI – Use SAP Joule + Microsoft Copilot to boost productivity
S/4HANA Preparation – Simplify, streamline, and de-risk your path forward
This isn’t just about migration—it’s about transformation designed for scale, speed, and strategy.
It’s about reinventing the business—with AI, industry innovation, and sustainability at the core.
At #SAPSapphire, SAP redefined RISE as a platform for transformation:
Embedded Joule AI for forecasting, planning, and anomaly detection
Industry cloud capabilities tailored to real outcomes
Sustainability and ESG tracking embedded in core processes
Extensibility via SAP BTP and low-code tools
Clean core + flexible architecture = faster, safer innovation
Finance teams benefit through intelligent insights, agile compliance, and scalable automation.
At #SAPSapphire, SAP announced a powerful integration: Perplexity is now embedded in Joule, enabling finance teams to get real-time, structured answers from SAP data—instantly, in natural language.
Just last week, Perplexity also made waves in finance—integrating with SEC/EDGAR to open up 10-Ks and earnings reports to natural language search. No dashboards. No subscriptions. Just fast, cited insights.
The future of finance intelligence is no longer locked in reports. It’s conversational.
At SAP Sapphire 2025, one thing was clear: finance teams are leading the next wave of enterprise transformation.
