Great news from SAP! Joule, AI SAP engine, embedded in its entire enterprise portfolio and plans to integrate this natural language-based generative AI with other AIs. Joule will be integrated into SAP Ariba, SAP BTP Cockpit, and SAP Analytics Cloud, offering responses to queries in German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. In addition, SAP is collaborating with Meta’s Llama 3 to create scripts in SAP Analytics Cloud and with Google to integrate Joule with the Google Cloud Cortex framework and Google’s AI assistant.

🌟 Living Our Core Values at IFS: Insights from Wahaj Arshad 🌟 Agile, Collaborative and Trustworthy. At IFS, our core values aren't just words; they're the essence of who we are. Here's what they mean to Wahaj Arshad, Associate Consultant based in Stavanger, Norway. "For me, these values are like finding a home where I belong and can grow. Collaboration and trust is everything here. It's about reaching out a hand and saying, 'Let's work together.' From day one, my managers trusted in me, which gave me the courage to take on new challenges. Agility isn't just about adapting; it's about growing and connecting with trust. It's the backbone of our collaboration. I often think of our values as a triangle, where trust, collaboration, and agility form the corners. If one corner is missing, the entire structure is weakened. That's why each value is vital to our success. One significant moment that exemplifies these values was when I was given a major responsibility in a project early in my career. Despite my initial uncertainties, my team's unwavering support fueled my success. I was entrusted with a significant task, and the collaboration and trust extended to me were remarkable. At IFS, we don't just talk about these values; we live them. From our inclusive culture to our dedication to work-life balance, they're at the heart of everything we do. I’m proud to be part of a company where values aren't just preached but practiced daily." Read more about careers with #TeamPurple here: https://ifs.link/h3jg4b #MakeYourMoment

My three key #SAPSapphire2024 reflections: 1) SAP will continue to lead by supporting our customers’ core business processes (ERP + critical Solution Areas like HCM). Case in point: Joule is THE conversational AI solution across the SAP portfolio and the new capabilities for Consultants and Developers will super-charge our customers’ AI game 2) SAP’s unique open ecosystem strategy will continue to pay dividends for our customers as we strengthen our bonds with all the leading AI platforms 3) nvidia: Jensen Huang could not have shared a more powerful endorsement of the critical role SAP plays supporting nvidia’s 1T mkt cap business. Just as significant: Jensen’s aside about being in Taipei to take a leading role in “uniting the Taiwan ecosystem” of high-tech companies. These Best Run cos are SAP customers and bringing the TW ecosystem together has huge implications for AI and the entire world.

🌊 The SAP contractor community are critical to the success of business transformation programmes. But because they’re part of the temporary workforce, their voices often aren’t heard in the boardrooms of the businesses that need them. 📈 📊 This report aims to change that. After surveying hundreds of SAP contractors across the UK & Ireland, we now have substantial data on: • How much contractors are paid • Their preferred working patterns • What would make them likely to accept or reject a role • What makes them stick around for the duration of a project.   Coming soon on SAP Network+: (Link in first comment)
