Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
At SAP Sapphire 2026, SAP unveiled its Business AI Platform, arguing that the enterprise AI race will be won not by the company with the best LLM or chatbot, but by the platform that provides agents with sufficient business context, data access, and governance to operate within mission-critical systems. SAP's approach builds on its long-standing enterprise data infrastructure, positioning context as the key differentiator against competitors like Atlassian, ServiceNow, and Salesforce.
