As organizations accelerate AI investment, the real challenge is no longer experimentation—it is moving safely from pilot initiatives to production-scale value.
The SAP AI Playbook 2026: From Pilot to Production combines leading research and practical SAP transformation insight to help organizations understand the readiness foundations required for scalable SAP AI.
AI adoption is widespread, but production-scale deployment remains limited.
For SAP organizations, the gap often comes down to readiness: fragmented data, weak governance, legacy customizations, and cloud constraints can prevent AI initiatives from delivering measurable value.
This report examines why AI pilots stall, what the agentic AI shift means for SAP leaders, and how organizations can build the data, governance, workflow, and architecture foundations needed for production AI.
