SAP Unveils Innovations in Generative AI Application
Development and Vector Database Capabilities as Well as New
Learning Opportunities for Developers in the Era of AI
BANGALORE, India, Nov. 2, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- At the SAP TechEd event in 2023, SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) announced a comprehensive series of generative AI capabilities
and advancements aimed at empowering developers of all skill levels
to supercharge their businesses in the age of AI.
"Today's dynamic technology and business landscape means every
developer needs to be an AI developer," said Juergen Mueller, Chief Technology Officer and
member of the Executive Board of SAP SE. "The innovations we're
launching at SAP TechEd, from AI-infused pro-code tools to a
one-stop shop to create generative AI extensions and applications
on SAP Business Technology Platform, support the developers at the
heart of the AI revolution and provide them with resources they
need to transform the way businesses run."
As organizations aim to derive business value from generative
AI, effective collaboration between professional and citizen
developers is essential. SAP is launching the SAP Build Code
solutions, which streamline cooperation with business experts who
use the low-code SAP Build solutions launched at SAP TechEd in
2022. Uniquely built for SAP applications and the SAP ecosystem,
SAP Build Code solutions offer AI-powered productivity tools for
developers and are optimized for Java and JavaScript development.
SAP Build Code also draws on the power of SAP's new generative
AI copilot Joule – the copilot that truly understands business – to
further boost productivity, embedding code generation capabilities
for data model, application logic and test script creation.
Good data is the foundation of good AI, and SAP HANA Cloud
continues to pioneer innovation in the data space by adding new
vector database features to its multimodel offerings at no
additional cost. Vector data stores manage unstructured data – such
as text, images or audio – to provide long-term memory and better
context to AI models. This makes it easy to find and retrieve
similar objects quickly. For example, users can search for
suppliers based on the language in their contracts to examine
payment history and trace individual orders. These powerful new
vector database features enhance interactions between large
language models and an organization's mission-critical data. The
innovation helps put SAP developers at the forefront of delivering
radically new levels of data insight within a secure, private
framework that uses industry-specific customer data to reduce
hallucinations.
AI Foundation, a new one-stop shop for developers to create AI-
and generative AI-powered extensions and applications on SAP BTP,
will further help increase developers' impact and efficiency. AI
Foundation includes everything developers need to start creating
business-ready AI tools on SAP BTP – from ready-to-use AI services
and access to the top large language models to vector database
capabilities and AI runtime and lifecycle management.
The rapid pace of technological innovation has driven up global
demand for skilled developers – and SAP is increasing its learning
opportunities in tandem. As part of a commitment to upskill two
million professionals by 2025 and complement free AI learning
content already available, SAP today launched new role-based
certification and free learning resources for back-end
developers using the ABAP Cloud development model. The two new
learning resources covering ABAP development tools on SAP BTP and
SAP S/4HANA are available on the SAP Learning site. They are
designed for agile and cloud-compliant business transformation,
providing developers with skills to build cloud-ready extensions
that are aligned with SAP's clean core strategy.
SAP has also joined the Stanford HAI (Institute for
Human-Centered AI) Corporate Affiliate Program. Researchers and
engineers at SAP will work with the Stanford academic community, including research
faculty and students, on the intersection of generative AI and
business.
