SAP demonstrated how the autonomous enterprise works in practice at
SAP demonstrated what the autonomous enterprise looks like in practice at its annual "SAP Connect 2026" event in Las Vegas and introduced how Joule Work and Joule Assistants create value across the business.
SAP CEO Christian Klein described the present as a major turning point for business AI and said the era of the autonomous enterprise had arrived. He explained that Joule and SAP Autonomous Suite, built on the SAP Business AI platform, are connecting intelligence across all functions for Novartis, Morgan Foods, Nestlé, PwC and others, helping deliver trustworthy business outcomes.
At SAP Connect, SAP customers shared autonomous enterprise cases, and examples were presented of measurable value created across the business by the autonomous enterprise. The event also introduced real-world examples of how SAP customers are creating value through autonomous enterprise operations.
Christoph Buerki, head of procurement at Novartis, said the company co-developed the SAP and Joule Sourcing Assistant and recently began a pilot. He said the goal is to hand over labor-intensive, manual work to AI agents so sourcing experts can focus on strategy, supplier collaboration and value creation.
Steve Hankins, CFO of Morgan Foods, said the company is preparing to adopt agents and that the core of that preparation is technology. He said the biggest change is a shift from a reactive approach to a predictive one, adding that the role of agents is to connect demand signals, inventory levels and supplier status more quickly. He also said the true source of competitiveness is the people who control the agents, and added that about 1,000 employees drive supply chain operations while technology helps improve their work performance.
Luca Dall'Orletta, head of global IT innovation and enterprise architecture at Nestlé, said the company is building a connected digital core through its SAP S/4HANA transformation across 140 countries. He explained that this digital core serves as a foundation with consistent processes, reliable data and strong visibility across multiple markets and functions. He added that, on top of this foundation, Joule and the Accounts Receivable Assistant automatically prioritize collections work based on risk and business context, recommend the next best action and help finance teams respond more quickly to change.
Jill Notes, PwC's CAO and controller, said billing work in professional services is one of the processes most prone to errors. She explained that accuracy is critical to the customer experience, and said the SAP Billing Assistant helps strengthen intelligence in the billing process and detect potential issues early. She added that as a result, employees are also supported in delivering better customer outcomes and building stronger relationships.
