Editor's Notes

• #1: In every cycle of new technology, imaginations are sparked, lofty ambitions are pronounced. But what survives the early cycle of ideation and experimentation is based on how well the new technology is applied. In other words, new technology excites…but correctly applied technology revolutionizes. To fundamentally deliver on the promise of AI, you must have a bold vision and the ability to deliver on it. Here’s ours.
• #4: 2025 Economist Impact research found that The top 4 priorities for procurement are basically the same across c-suite leaders, but the order of priority differs by region The fifth priority for everyone, cost management, is likely because this is procurement’s key objective. It’s procurement’s day job, it’s expected.
• #5: As we think about AI and digitalization as 2 of the top strategic priorities it’s important to this about what that means. In 2024 AI and Gen AI rose significantly In 2025 we see Gen AI shoot up. 50% of respondents will implement or pilot Gen AI this year Intake has remained static Autonomous Procurement and Autonomous sourcing have basically swapped Category management stays high on the list as a way to combat risks Predictive analytics holds steady on the chart
• #6: AI is augmentative but human to human interaction will always rule influence and buying decisions. At SAP, we’re developing our AI solutions with three core principles at the forefront: Relevant, Reliable, and Responsible. Relevant AI Our AI is infused into our enterprise applications and business solutions, so it unlocks value across all aspects of your organization. We integrate AI experiences into your everyday business processes to enhance all lines of business. Reliable AI Our AI uniquely understands and contextualizes your business data within the industry’s broadest data sets. This unique understanding delivers insights tailored to your specific business to enhance your decision-making. Lastly, Responsible AI For years, we’ve delivered solutions with the highest levels of security, ethics and data privacy standards, making compliance easier across your entire organization. Our solutions include multiple safe-guards, including opportunities for human oversight, overviews with our ethics board – and we also adhere to UNESCO’s 10 guiding principles for AI ethics.
• #7: All of our staff members have undergone extensive AI training, including our developers, operations teams, security teams, and even our sales and marketing groups. We also have a dedicated AI ethics board that conducts our own research. They analyze whether we can extract data from models, identify any data exposure risk, and mitigate problems early in the development process. We’ve always had strict product standards for engineering, and now we've expanded these to include AI controls., which are integrated into the entire development process – from training and testing to code implementation.   A question we’re often asked is, what can my team do with AI, that they wouldn’t normally be able to do? For example, can they approve an invoice or create a requisition that they shouldn’t be able to? Or even give themselves a pay raise? All our AI solutions operate within SAP BTP, which already understands user capabilities from solutions like SAP Ariba. So even if they're using an AI-generated solution, their user permissions remain the same. If they can’t ordinarily approve an invoice or create a requisition in SAP Ariba, then they can’t do it with AI either. And no, they can’t give themselves a raise. There are a lot of built-in security layers to prevent that. We understand that AI is bringing in a new area, and as we integrate it into our business solutions, we’re committed to doing so responsibly and securely. We also conduct penetration testing for all our solutions and have extended this practice to include AI-specific solutions, particularly our copilot – Joule. Each undergoes comprehensive testing for functionality, features, and bias. Finally, we have strict security measures in place for AI to ensure protection at the technology level. This includes implementing controls to disable unnecessary functions, validating inputs, and safeguarding customer data within our entire environment.
• #8: Our vision is grounded in the fact that SAP is uniquely positioned to lead companies into the next era of enterprise management. With over 50 years of ERP experience, our business applications are built by experts in key business areas to Successfully integrate business processes from beginning to end And our access to business-critical data is unmatched. With our Business Data Cloud We centralize, harmonize, and enrich data with contextual insights so you can make sense of it And we make it accessible so you can reply on it to drive reliable insights. At SAP, our AI solutions go well beyond basic automation. Through Joule you can engage your applications and your data from anywhere in natural everyday language It’s this seamless combination of applications, data, and AI—that sets the stage and connects all of your business processes.
• #9: SAP’s Business AI is embedded across our entire portfolio. We embed AI into our solutions to amplify your existing business processes to continually enhance what's already working well for your business. Starting at the bottom of the slide, our robust ecosystem includes strategic partners like Anthropic, AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, and NVIDIA – and by collaborating with these industry leaders, we can select the best language models for specific business cases. We deploy AI models at scale on SAP BTP, our platform as a service, which connects with our language model providers while enforcing strict security controls across our cloud ERP and line of business applications. At the top of our diagram is Joule, which is integrated across all of our solutions to provide seamless continuity and our guiding principles: Relevant, Reliable, and Responsible.
• #10: We’re designing our Source to Pay solutions, from end to end, with a focus on: Ease of Use Time saving automation And accuracy and reliability. We have multiple layers of validation, data verification, and error prevention to support confident, data-driven decision-making across your organization.

• #36: With Western Sugar handling approximately 40,000 invoices every year in numerous formats—both electronic and paper based—the organization sought to reshape supplier invoice processing workflows to boost visibility and control. The goal was to automate invoice capture, data extraction, and validation, and streamline verifications and approvals as well as exception and error handling while digitalizing reporting and analytics tasks. To get there, the cooperative made the decision to implement the SAP Ariba Central Invoice Management solution on top of its instance of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition to process suppliers’ invoices.   Built on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), the solution enables intelligent and consistent invoice processing, providing finance teams with intuitive functionality and automation throughout the settlement process. Using the solution, Western Sugar can automatically process around 40,000 supplier invoices straight through to its general ledger.   Richard Caluori, Director of Corporate Controlling at Western Sugar, elaborates on how the AI functionality automates this process. “When vendors send an invoice as a PDF file, they are received at Western Sugar by SAP Ariba Central Invoice Management with inbound processing for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition on SAP BTP. This automatically processes incoming invoices, including validating general ledger account and tax items. There’s no human interaction from our finance team until the approval. And once approved, it posts automatically.”   Western Sugar also uses order upload functionality in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for the other 40,000 invoices it receives from railroads and trucking companies. ------- Western Sugar: Automating invoice processing with AI to keep growers and suppliers super sweet https://www.sap.com/asset/dynamic/2025/02/4282b6dc-f67e-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b.html
