00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.335
Gregor, Neeraj, nice to see you.

00:00:02.335 --> 00:00:05.880
We're here to talk about
agentization of ERP.

00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:09.968
And as SAP and BCG, we always talk about

00:00:09.968 --> 00:00:13.054
how our core enterprise
systems are moving away

00:00:13.054 --> 00:00:16.141
from systems of storage,
systems of record,

00:00:16.141 --> 00:00:19.602
towards, really,
autonomously executing tasks.

00:00:19.602 --> 00:00:22.355
You're seeing that,
you're talking about this.

00:00:22.355 --> 00:00:24.190
How do you see this at play, Gregor?

00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:26.234
How do you see this happening?

00:00:26.234 --> 00:00:27.736
Well, I think right now,

00:00:27.736 --> 00:00:30.739
we're at the full
paradigm shift, actually.

00:00:30.739 --> 00:00:32.282
So historically,

00:00:32.282 --> 00:00:36.578
ERP has been the integral
operational backbone

00:00:36.578 --> 00:00:42.709
of a customer, right,
driving process excellence

00:00:42.709 --> 00:00:45.045
in one single source of truth.

00:00:45.045 --> 00:00:48.423
And I think right now we are
at the next logical evolution,

00:00:48.423 --> 00:00:51.760
right, from process standardization

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:55.096
to autonomous orchestration, actually.

00:00:55.096 --> 00:00:56.598
And if you think about it,

00:00:56.598 --> 00:00:59.392
if you put an agentic intelligence

00:00:59.392 --> 00:01:03.897
on top of a clean core, right,

00:01:03.897 --> 00:01:08.902
it's not only improving
the records of business,

00:01:08.985 --> 00:01:09.819
it's, actually . . .

00:01:09.819 --> 00:01:13.031
you redefine how to run a business.

00:01:13.031 --> 00:01:17.952
And that goes into the
AI-native operating system.

00:01:17.952 --> 00:01:19.662
And the beauty of it right now

00:01:19.662 --> 00:01:24.626
is because SAP inherits so
much knowledge process context

00:01:25.335 --> 00:01:27.879
that we can include in the system,

00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.091
as well as the constitutional DNA

00:01:31.091 --> 00:01:33.468
that we encoded for decades,

00:01:33.468 --> 00:01:36.513
it allows us-that if you think about

00:01:36.513 --> 00:01:39.849
sort of functional, operational, fiscal,

00:01:39.849 --> 00:01:42.769
right-really to serve
as an enterprise DNA.

00:01:42.769 --> 00:01:47.398
And that gives way to not only
manage data going forward,

00:01:47.398 --> 00:01:51.361
but also reason and execute it.

00:01:51.361 --> 00:01:54.989
And this is the birth of
the autonomous enterprise.

00:01:54.989 --> 00:01:58.076
Neeraj, in our work we see at BCG,

00:01:58.076 --> 00:02:00.453
clients moving, you know,

00:02:00.453 --> 00:02:03.581
very slowly away from individual use cases

00:02:03.581 --> 00:02:05.291
towards scaling of use cases,

00:02:05.291 --> 00:02:07.168
towards now implementing, really,

00:02:07.168 --> 00:02:11.798
and trying to scale, really,
agentic tools and methods

00:02:11.798 --> 00:02:13.883
and in their ERP.

00:02:13.883 --> 00:02:15.552
What do you actually see on the ground

00:02:15.552 --> 00:02:20.431
with all this being operated
in a very complex data process,

00:02:20.431 --> 00:02:22.058
permission context?

00:02:22.058 --> 00:02:25.061
I think this is where, I
would say, is the launch

00:02:25.061 --> 00:02:27.522
of the business AI platform is a key part

00:02:27.522 --> 00:02:30.608
of this entire innovation
cycle, actually speaking.

00:02:30.608 --> 00:02:32.193
What we actually have done together

00:02:32.193 --> 00:02:34.904
is build the end-to-end platform,

00:02:34.904 --> 00:02:37.699
which is actually grounded in the data,

00:02:37.699 --> 00:02:40.118
in the knowledge, in
the business processes.

00:02:40.118 --> 00:02:41.911
So when you create an agent,

00:02:41.911 --> 00:02:45.999
and you move from a prototyping
to a pilot to a production,

00:02:45.999 --> 00:02:47.584
it is actually grounded

00:02:47.584 --> 00:02:50.086
in the context of the customer, right?

00:02:50.086 --> 00:02:53.715
And this is a big change
in the system right now,

00:02:53.715 --> 00:02:56.259
where customers would be
confidently able to move

00:02:56.259 --> 00:02:58.970
from the pilot and prototyping
stage to production

00:02:58.970 --> 00:03:02.557
because the context still
remains with the agent per se.

00:03:02.557 --> 00:03:04.726
And this is the power of
the business AI platform

00:03:04.726 --> 00:03:06.227
that we just launched.

00:03:06.227 --> 00:03:08.021
So now to you both:

00:03:08.021 --> 00:03:10.565
With BCG and SAP working together,

00:03:10.565 --> 00:03:13.860
what is the most promising
opportunities for you

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:17.197
in the short term, and
how do we capture it?

00:03:17.197 --> 00:03:20.200
Well, I think BCG and SAP
together can bridge the gap

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:22.160
between model capability

00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:25.622
and, actually, the operating reality

00:03:25.622 --> 00:03:29.250
by providing an AI-native
operating model, right?

00:03:29.250 --> 00:03:32.086
And I think that's an immediate
opportunity out there.

00:03:32.086 --> 00:03:34.589
Every customer wants to go agentic,

00:03:34.589 --> 00:03:39.594
and BCG, as a leading strategic,
transformation partner,

00:03:40.345 --> 00:03:42.764
you can define the high-impact areas

00:03:42.764 --> 00:03:45.058
and see where the changes are needed.

00:03:45.058 --> 00:03:47.352
And this is then where
SAP comes into play.

00:03:47.352 --> 00:03:49.062
And just to cap it off,

00:03:49.062 --> 00:03:52.148
this is where the agent journey
comes together with BCG.

00:03:52.148 --> 00:03:55.026
Agents created on the business AI platform

00:03:55.026 --> 00:03:58.029
will show the value and
show the high-impact areas

00:03:58.029 --> 00:03:59.864
grounded in the customer data,

00:03:59.864 --> 00:04:02.784
with the constitutional
guardrails out of the box.

00:04:02.784 --> 00:04:04.535
So, in summary,

00:04:04.535 --> 00:04:07.956
huge opportunity in agentic
transformation for our clients

00:04:07.956 --> 00:04:11.751
to have more value earlier
and faster delivery

00:04:11.751 --> 00:04:14.170
with AI-first delivery, with less risk.

00:04:14.170 --> 00:04:15.880
Let's do it together.
Thank you.
