1. Create a proof of concept 2. Re-imagine critical business process 3. Deliver and operate scenarios
Adoption (CAIA) with SAP is to first create a proof of concept to realize value and test feasibility, then re-imagine critical business processes with expert input to redesign and optimize them using AI, and finally deliver and operate the scenarios to implement secure innovations and ensure continuous adoption. This sequence ensures a structured approach to integrating custom AI solutions within SAP Business AI, starting from validation, through transformation, to full deployment and maintenance.
Exact extracts supporting this:
From SAP learning resources on positioning SAP Business AI: "We ensure you realize value from Cloud, Data, and AI, with Custom AI Adoption (CAIA) and with differentiated innovations tailored for your unique business needs."learning.sap.com This represents the initial step of creating a proof of concept to realize and validate value.
"We do this by re-imagining business processes with Functional, Industry, and generative AI experts from SAP."learning.sap.com This directly corresponds to the second step of re-imagining critical business processes.
"We deliver these differentiated innovations with secure software development and support methodologies as standard in SAP Software."learning.sap.com Combined with "Leveraging the power of the SAP BTP, we can focus on a clean core approach, ensuring continuous innovation adoption."learning.sap.com This aligns with the third step of delivering and operating scenarios.
Additional support from SAP's official AI page: "With Joule’s agent builder, your teams can create and deploy custom agents that are more powerful and impactful because they’re uniquely grounded in your business processes."sap.com This implies starting with creation (proof of concept) and moving to deployment (deliver and operate).
"Reimagining efficiency with SAP Business AI and Joule Agents - Explore how SAP Business AI and Joule Agents can help your organization automate processes, accelerate decision-making, and drive operational excellence."sap.com This confirms re-imagining as a key intermediate step.
This order is logical for AI adoption methodologies, where initial validation via proof of concept precedes process redesign, followed by implementation and ongoing operations. Other sequences, such as starting with re-imagining without proof or delivering before re-imagining, would not align with standard SAP practices for custom AI integration.
