Thomas Saueressig, an executive board member and head of customer services and delivery at SAP, emphasizes the significant impact of AI and the RISE with SAP initiative on reshaping enterprise agility and innovation strategies in the latest Cloud Wars Live episode. SAP’s focus is on business transformation rather than just technology transformation, with the new board area aimed at assisting customers in moving to the cloud and embracing innovations like AI to enhance business agility and efficiency.

By showcasing examples like Fresenius and BMW, SAP demonstrates how moving to the cloud and adopting new technologies can be simplified, providing customers with faster upgrades and new capabilities.
