SAP TechEd 2025 brought a clear message to the global enterprise community: the future of business is intelligent, AI driven and developer led. At ETZ Global, we see these innovations as powerful accelerators for organisations ready to move beyond digital transformation into intelligent operations.

At the heart of the announcements was SAP RPT-1, the new Relational Pre-trained Transformer foundation model. Designed to predict business outcomes using structured enterprise data, RPT-1 opens the door to embedded AI that understands financial flows, procurement trends and supply chain dependencies. It is not a generic chatbot. It is a purpose-built business AI that speaks the language of ERP. Whether you are forecasting revenue, identifying risk or optimising operations, RPT-1 helps turn data into foresight inside SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP.

Data took centre stage too with the debut of SAP Business Data Cloud, an expansion of SAP’s data strategy that links all your enterprise information, wherever it lives. With native integration to Snowflake, this platform empowers organisations to unify SAP and non-SAP data using business semantics and deliver it to every analytics, planning and AI layer. The result is a robust business data fabric that is trusted, explainable and actionable across clouds and applications.

SAP also redefined how we prepare for this future with the launch of a new hands-on, scenario-based certification model. The first wave of six role-based credentials, from SAP Build Developer to SAP Generative AI Developer, now reflect the skills real SAP professionals use daily. Exams are open book and include access to tools like SAP Joule. This is not just a new format. It is a shift in how we build, measure and prove enterprise readiness.

For developers, SAP delivered new agentic AI tools like Joule Studio, major enhancements to SAP Build and full integration into VS Code. Developers can now build and orchestrate intelligent agents that operate across applications, processes and business events. It is a powerful new toolkit that places development teams at the centre of transformation.

And SAP’s commitment to the future does not stop there. With its pledge to upskill 12 million people globally in AI readiness by 2030, it is laying the foundation for an inclusive and skilled digital workforce.

ETZ Global is ready to help you translate these innovations into real outcomes. From intelligent data integration to generative AI use cases in finance, procurement and logistics, our team delivers SAP solutions that scale with your ambition.
