Enterprises don’t need to be rebuilt around AI. AI needs to be thoughtfully brought into the enterprise—in a way that respects what is already working and strengthens it.

SAP and Anthropic today announced plans to expand their collaboration to deliver advanced AI solutions to enterprise customers, making Claude, Anthropic’s AI model, a primary reasoning and agentic capability embedded across SAP’s AI-enabled solution portfolio, powered by Joule and Joule agents.

Unveiled today at SAP Sapphire, Anthropic and SAP will collaborate to embed Claude’s agentic capabilities into the newly announced SAP Business AI Platform to advance SAP’s vision of the Autonomous Enterprise in the agentic AI era.

The collaboration builds on SAP’s more than 50-years of business application know-how across processes, data, and governance. This complements SAP’s open ecosystem approach to supporting any model and provides greater customer choice and flexibility to meet evolving AI requirements.

Connecting directly to SAP Business AI Platform, Claude will empower agents to carry ​out tasks—from closing the books at quarter-end and answering complex employee leave questions to rerouting supplier orders mid-shipment—coordinating across SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Ariba solutions, and other systems via MCP.
