This next phase of collaboration is designed to move organizations past isolated AI experimentation toward the acceleration of scalable, business-driven AI integrated directly into Cloud ERP environments.
Partnership Expansion: SAP AppHaus and NTT DATA Business Solutions are scaling their alliance to operationalize human-centered AI solutions.
Core Focus: The collaboration aims to move businesses from standalone AI tests to industrializing AI across SAP Cloud ERP landscapes.
Technological Integration: The initiative utilizes SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), SAP Business Data Cloud, and the AI assistant Joule.
Proprietary Assets: NTT DATA Business Solutions will leverage its GenAI Accelerated toolkit alongside the SAP AppHaus methodology.
Global Reach: The program equips multidisciplinary teams in over 30 countries with a repeatable framework for AI exploration and delivery.
Strategic Outcome: The approach, themed "Cloud ERP Supercharged," focuses on embedding AI into core processes like logistics, document handling, and partner collaboration.
NTT DATA Business Solutions is taking a primary role in operationalizing solutions built with SAP Business AI on a global scale. By combining the SAP AppHaus methodology with its proprietary GenAI Accelerated toolkit, the company enables customers to identify high-value AI use cases. This allows for the rapid prototyping of solutions on the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and their subsequent industrialization within Cloud ERP environments.
Through a Global Enablement Program, NTT DATA Business Solutions is providing teams worldwide with a framework for AI design and delivery. This initiative integrates human-centered design with advanced SAP technologies, including Joule and the SAP Business Data Cloud, to ensure that AI innovation is directly connected to core business processes.
The "Cloud ERP Supercharged" theme reflects a shift in how AI is implemented. Rather than treating artificial intelligence as a standalone initiative, it is embedded into broader Cloud ERP transformation programs. This integration helps customers achieve faster time-to-value and reduces development risks by automating and enhancing master data management and operational logistics.
"With Cloud ERP Supercharged, we are deliberately redefining how SAP Business AI is used in SAP environments. It is not about isolated use cases, but about embedding AI directly into Cloud ERP processes, from master data and partner collaboration to document handling and logistics," said Nicolaj Vang Jessen, Executive Managing Director Consulting GIIC and Nordics & Eastern Europe, NTT DATA Business Solutions. "By combining human–centered design, ready–to–run AI extensions and Joule capabilities, we enable our customers to automate, run and continuously learn, turning Cloud ERP into a platform for sustained business performance."
The expansion of the alliance is grounded in successful joint engagements with organizations such as Amey and Aspen Pumps. In these instances, the application of the SAP AppHaus approach and the GenAI Accelerated toolkit led to tangible outcomes, including smarter decision-making and improved operational resilience.
"Our expanded partnership with SAP AppHaus reflects a deliberate shift from isolated AI use cases to enterprise–wide SAP Business AI," said Mark Wheeler, Global Head of Product Engineering & AI Customer Success, NTT DATA Business Solutions. "By combining human–centered design with our GenAI Accelerated toolkit, we enable customers to translate AI ambition into solutions that improve speed, quality and competitiveness, directly within their SAP Cloud ERP environments."
With a global workforce of over 15,000 SAP specialists, NTT DATA Business Solutions continues to influence how SAP Business AI is designed and deployed, ensuring that AI solutions are not just innovative but also scalable and sustainable for large-scale enterprises.
