Valantic Study on BTP and AI
For the seventh time in a row, Valantic surveyed the SAP community on their assessments of topics such as S/4 Hana migration, investment intentions, preferred technologies and business opportunities.
It is clear that BTP has arrived in companies. It is regarded as an important integration tool, especially when it comes to the use of AI technologies in the SAP environment. Many user companies are currently evaluating how AI can be integrated into SAP modules and company workflows in a beneficial way. The facts are as follows: 56% of survey participants (SAP user companies) are currently using BTP - a significant increase on the previous year's 34% - and a further 21% are currently planning to introduce it.
A good half of the survey participants (55%) who do not yet use BTP stated that they had not yet (sufficiently) informed themselves about it. A minority of 15 percent have opted for alternative PaaS solutions and 10 percent consider the cost of using BTP to be too high. 20 percent cited various other reasons such as data protection concerns or skepticism towards cloud environments.
Another key topic of this year's Valantic SAP Survey 2024 is artificial intelligence. The Walldorf-based company made a strong debut in September last year with its AI assistant Joule. Joule understands the business context and is directly integrated into companies' business-critical processes. It is therefore not surprising that SAP's AI assistant Joule tops the list of AI applications that respondents rate as particularly interesting (42.9 percent).
