SAP unveiled Joule’s next stage as the artificial intelligence force at the centre of SAP Business Suite’s value creation, reimagining enterprise AI with role-based assistants that coordinate agents across lines of business.
This development includes a new Financial Planning Assistant that will be aided by a group of expert agents – including the new Cash Management Agent, which optimises cash flow and improves interest yields – to help finance professionals drive efficiencies.
SAP says this new roster of role-aware AI Assistants not only partner with people to elevate performance in their lines of business but also work together across business functions to solve complex enterprise-wide problems.
The company is also launching SAP BDC Connect, which securely links SAP BDC with partner platforms to enable a bidirectional flow of business-ready data products across organisational and technological boundaries.
Additionally, SAP announced that Databricks and Google Cloud are the first partners enabled for SAP BDC Connect, with more to follow. This follows the announcement in February 2025, where SAP Databricks remains a data service within SAP Business Data Cloud, and BDC Connect extends its benefits across an open data ecosystem.
These partnerships, according to SAP, give customers faster access to data products for analytics and AI, helping teams move from
raw data to real-time business outcomes with greater speed and simplicity.
