The session

About this session

As SAP’s Autonomous Enterprise vision moves from strategy to execution, architecture teams must make practical decisions about where AI agents fit, how they are built, which models they use, and how they are governed across the enterprise.

In this interactive 90-minute session, enterprise architects, solution architects, and technical leads will follow a practical journey across five connected areas:

  • Autonomous Enterprise architecture foundations
  • SAP’s Innovation Factory approach to identifying and activating AI use cases
  • Agent development with Joule Studio
  • Selection across the SAP Family of Models
  • Enterprise-scale agent lifecycle management with the SAP AI Agent Hub on LeanIX

Through architecture guidance, practical SAP scenarios, and a hands-on walkthrough, participants will learn how to translate business needs into governed agent architectures, choose between standard SAP capabilities, connect agents to enterprise context, and manage them securely from design through decommissioning.

What You'll Learn

  • Position agents within the SAP Autonomous Enterprise stack, including Business AI Platform (BAIP) layers, Joule and Clean Core.
  • Apply SAP’s Innovation Factory approach to identify, prioritise, and activate governed AI use cases using SAP ACTIVATE and Cloud ALM.
  • Understand the Joule Studio agent development lifecycle, from intent design and context wiring through deployment and handover.
  • Choose suitable no-code, low-code, or pro-code patterns for building SAP agents.
  • Select the right option from the SAP Family of Models; based on use-case needs and trade-offs.
  • Design security, human-approval, monitoring, audit, and accountability controls for enterprise agents.
  • Manage the full AI agent lifecycle from discovery and provisioning to observability and decommissioning using the SAP AI Agent Hub on LeanIX.
