The Future of SAP AI Is Being Decided Today

Global Research, Industry Trends & Strategic Insights for SAP Business AI

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.

Why This Report Matters

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.

Key areas explored include:

Why enterprise AI adoption is high while production deployment remains limited.

How SAP AI is evolving from assistants to autonomous agents.

Why data quality and governance are the biggest barriers to scaling AI.

The role of Clean Core and cloud readiness in SAP Business AI adoption.

A practical 90-day roadmap for AI readiness.
