Deloitte Announces Generative AI Journey with SAP to Maximize Client Value 

Deloitte is extending its capabilities in the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) to create and offer clients advanced Generative AI solutions.

Deloitte's approach, known as Clean Core + Edge Innovation, is centered around cloud application development and incorporates AI capabilities and data-driven insights to assist cloud ERP clients in achieving tangible business benefits while minimizing technical complexities.

"Driving for value and innovation has remained central to helping our clients break boundaries and innovate at the pace of disruption. The expansion of our practices for SAP BTP serves as that next step, building on our existing AIOPS.D micro solutions and enabling SAP AI Services to drive co-pilots and end-to-end autonomous processes for industry-specific cloud solutions. Deloitte's ready-to-deploy use cases, SAP and broader technology experience, combined with SAP BTP, can provide intelligent and responsive solutions, from small-scale edge innovation to large-scale transformation," said Chip Kleinheksel, Enterprise Performance Generative AI leader, and SAP Chief Technology Officer, Deloitte Consulting LLP.

By harnessing the capabilities of SAP BTP and Generative AI, Deloitte's team will design, implement, and operate use cases optimized for cloud solutions. These use cases are specifically crafted to provide substantial value to enterprise ERP platforms.

"SAP BTP is a key enabler of Generative AI - powered applications with extensive Gen AI capabilities for developers, process engineers, and enterprise architects all the way to business users. Deloitte's Clean Core + Edge Innovation approach can accelerate opportunities for transformation through Generative AI using the combination of SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP, particularly with SAP AI Core and SAP AI Services. This expansion of Deloitte's SAP BTP practice showcases how we continue to find new ways to innovate and unlock new value for customers," said Juergen Mueller, chief technology officer and member of the Executive Board of SAP SE.

The role of Clean Core + Edge Innovation  

Deloitte's approach, known as Clean Core + Edge Innovation, is designed to minimize technical complexities by using the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) to extend applications with user-friendly options like low-code and no-code development and API-driven integration.

By establishing a clean and efficient baseline for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), an organization gains the flexibility and speed needed for innovation. It also enables utilizing AI capabilities within SAP BTP, including agent-based simulation, virtual assistants, predictive analytics, computer vision, and natural language and speech recognition.

Deloitte is committed to expanding its Generative AI ecosystem by collaborating with leading companies such as Google Cloud, introducing innovations, and advancing the use of Large Language Models to benefit its SAP clients.

As part of their collaboration, Deloitte is exploring opportunities to utilize SAP's new natural-language, generative AI tool, Joule, across various industry and line-of-business solutions and within their microservices architecture.
