The session

About this session

AI is moving beyond conversation and into action–but for most organisations, the real challenge is turning that promise into meaningful progress. Varun Tamba, Global Vice President and Head of AI Go-To-Market at SAP, will explore what the autonomous enterprise could actually look like in practice, and how Joule, role-based assistants and a trusted, governed AI foundation can coordinate decisions and execute complex workflows at scale. He will also reveal how AI-powered migration agents are reducing the complexity of cloud transformation, giving organisations a practical path to start building what matters next from where they are today.
