Your path to Agentic Enterprise

From AI-Empowered Transformation and Architecture to Business Value with AI

8 out of 10 employees are more productive when using AI. Only 4 out of 10 companies see this reflected in their results.

McKinsey & Company, “The state of AI in 2026”, August 2026 — a survey of 1,719 executives in 97 countries.

How do leading companies lay the foundations for scalable AI? And how does this translate into measurable business value? Join us from 13 to 15 October 2026 at the SAP Transformation Excellence Summit in Berlin. We’ll demonstrate how organisations can pave the way to becoming an ‘Agentic Enterprise’ through an integrated architecture, a resilient business context and AI-empowered transformation – and successfully integrate AI into productive business processes.

The vision: the Agentic Enterprise

Agentic AI is only as reliable as the business context on which it is based. That is why the vision consists of two parts that go hand in hand.

System of Record

A reliable foundation: ensuring that company policies are applied, recorded and traceable.

ERP and business applications
Master data and business objects
Stable, documented business processes
Governance and authorisations

System of Action

The operational layer: what is decided and executed on this basis.

People with decision-making authority
AI agents and co-pilots
Automated process steps
Orchestration across end-to-end processes

Laying the foundations. Scaling change. Realising value.

Three building blocks that build on one another, which we will be discussing with you in Berlin.

The foundation

Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architecture establishes the precise business context required for reliable AI agents. It integrates strategy, processes, data and governance into a vision. This provides a solid foundation for scalable, value-adding agentic AI capabilities across the entire organisation.

What this means in practice

A consistent vision rather than isolated solutions
Data modelling and governance as prerequisites, not as an afterthought
The bridge from the system of record to the system of action

The requirement

AI-Empowered Transformation

AI is accelerating transformation. The ability to actually implement change remains crucial.

Achieved acceleration = toolchain × method × AI adoption × context

A multiplication: if one factor is missing, the result is zero.

What this means in practice

SAP Integrated Toolchain as the technical foundation
A methodology that ensures repeatability
AI adoption within the team, not just within the tool
The business context as a factor influencing the quality of results

The effect

Business AI

Business AI embeds value creation directly into operational processes and day-to-day work. It combines technology with specific business requirements to provide intelligent support. This empowers people in their decision-making, automates core tasks and efficiently orchestrates complex end-to-end processes.

What this means in practice

Measurable improvements in productivity, quality and speed
AI as an integral part of the process rather than a separate pilot project
Value-based prioritisation of use cases

What companies can do now to prepare

The journey towards Agentic Enterprise begins with concrete steps that can be implemented safely right now. That is exactly what we will be discussing in Berlin.

Making end-to-end processes transparent
Identifying areas for improvement before selecting technology.
Prioritise value-driven use cases
rather than running isolated pilot projects in parallel.
Setting up data, governance and architecture
The foundation without which AI cannot scale.
The System of Record and the System of Action combine
the ability to act with a reliable context.
Shaping transformation through steady steps
Securing results rather than losing momentum.
