May 30, 2024

SEATTLE – Amazon Web Services (AWS) and SAP SE are expanding their strategic collaboration to transform modern cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) experiences and help enterprises drive new capabilities with generative AI.

According to a May 29 press release from Amazon, AWS and SAP are striving to make it easier for customers “to adopt the RISE with SAP solution on AWS, to improve the performance and efficiency of SAP workloads running in the cloud.” The goal is to embed generative AI into an enterprise’s entire portfolio of business-critical applications.

“AWS was the first cloud provider certified to support the SAP portfolio and today, thousands of enterprise companies run SAP solutions on AWS to get the most out of their mission-critical applications,” said Matt Garman, incoming CEO at AWS. “Now, AWS and SAP are making it faster and easier for companies to apply generative AI to their core business data to become more efficient, responsive, and sustainable.”

“Partnerships like this collaboration with AWS are critical as we embed generative AI solutions across our ERP applications so that customers can drive innovation at an accelerated pace,” said Christian Klein, CEO, SAP SE. “In addition to delivering modern cloud ERP to our joint customers, we are excited to support Amazon on their own transformation journey as they adopt RISE with SAP for pioneering areas such as Project Kuiper, Amazon’s satellite initiative intended to increase global broadband access.”

The generative AI hub in SAP AI Core infrastructure provides customers with secure access to a range of large language models (LLMs) that can be integrated into SAP business applications. With the integration of generative AI models from Amazon Bedrock such as the Anthropic Claude 3 model family and Amazon Titan, SAP customers will be able to access high-performing LLMs and other foundation models (FMs) to build applications customized with their own data.
