The easiest way to modernize your business and look like an information technology hero is through the adoption of the SAP Business Suite. Not only does the SAP Business Suite deliver modernization and AI-powered innovation, it also rolls out relatively easily and reduces IT workload.
SAP Business Suite is a comprehensive package of applications and cloud-based infrastructure for managing all aspects of a business. It combined the SAP Cloud ERP for connecting all data and applications, Business Data Cloud for storing and unifying company data, industry-specific applications for running operations, the Business Technology Platform for extending the system and integrating with third-party solutions and cloud services, and Business AI for leveraging artificial intelligence at all levels of your company.
You can simplify your company’s technology landscape, reduce system complexity, strengthen cybersecurity, and deliver innovation faster across your business with the SAP Business Suite.
The IT Advantages of SAP Business Suite
While SAP Business Suite improves all parts of a business, the biggest benefit might come to your IT department.
Artificial Intelligence in the Foundation
SAP Business Suite includes an AI layer at its core, helping your business immediately benefit from the latest AI advances and making these innovations useful across the business.
Instead of building out AI functionality from a single AI platform, SAP Business Suite uses an AI layer called SAP Joule that allows you to connect an AI engine of your choice to the business backend. It can be ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or another large language model such as Anthropic’s Claude. This way, your backend integrates natively with AI throughout the system but without requiring LLM lock-in.
The modularity of the AI design also means that all applications, processes, and company data are exposed and integrated with AI, creating an AI copilot and AI-driven automation potential that can interface with all data and processes. This AI can be used to guide users in the system, build out functionality, analyze trends, or even create and act on complex workflows. What SAP has done with AI is the closest thing to realizing the hype of artificial intelligence today.
Easy Upgrading and Maintenance
SAP Business Suite is modular and entirely cloud-based. This, of course, means that corporate IT is no longer responsible for hardware or software upgrades, which frees up time for more strategic IT activities.
The modular architecture of SAP Business Suite keeps things from breaking, too. SAP Cloud ERP is built around a tiny core that then hooks into applications and services. This architecture means that upgrades to the core ERP system and key applications rarely break integrations and custom code that have been added to the system. SAP has taken great pains to re-engineer its ERP solution so that the interconnected weave of applications and services remains stable even when parts of the solution evolve.
Turnkey Integration and Customization
Adding integrations and custom code is almost painless with SAP Business Suite. The suite relies on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) for integrations, industry-specific applications, and customization.
The BTP is part online marketplace where you can add applications and functionality easily to your company’s system with a few clicks, and part development environment where you can quickly integrate third-party applications, marketplaces, or cloud services and build out custom functionality in a mostly drag-and-drop code editor.
This ease of adding integrations, applications, and custom code future-proofs your backend ERP system and makes it highly scalable.
Systemwide Integration and Automation
Say goodbye to data silos, fiddly integrations, and processes that jump between disconnected software solutions. Because SAP Business Suite ties all data, processes, and applications to a common core, company operations stay unified and consistent.
This unified backend opens the door to systemwide automation. Through SAP Business Suite, you or the AI embedded in the system can develop complex automations that cut across departments and drive real gains in operational efficiency.
All parts of the suite connect with the solution’s automation engine, and the Joule AI Copilot can help you or your company’s employees set up automation to cut down on workload.
Improved Cybersecurity
Business Suite runs on an SAP-managed public cloud infrastructure. This means that the company infrastructure is managed, maintained, and monitored on a 24/7 basis according to the highest standards of cybersecurity.
This does not relieve your entire burden of cybersecurity, but it significantly reduces it. Instead of having to worry about hardware and software vulnerabilities, your IT department can focus more on employee behavior and basics such as device security. Your core system stays protected and updated against the latest threats at all times.
Modernization the Easy Way
This is not your father’s ERP project. SAP Business Suite is designed for easy implementation and go-live in as little as a few months. This is possible because SAP has greatly simplified implementation through its GROW with SAP program, a guided methodology and set of configurations and best practice defaults that help a business implement SAP Business Suite fast.
