SAP Business AI & Cloud ERP Enable SAP AppHaus and NTT DATA Alliance Expansion

NTT DATA and sap apphaus move beyond isolated experiments to industrialize human centered sap business ai within global cloud erp transformation programs

On May 11, SAP AppHaus and NTT DATA Business Solutions announced plans to expand their global SAP AppHaus Alliances partnership. The next phase of collaboration is focused on helping organizations adopt scalable, business-driven AI embedded into Cloud ERP environments more quickly by looking beyond isolated AI experiments. NTT Data Business Solutions is leveraging its established role within the SAP AppHaus Alliances to operationalize solutions that are human-centered and built with SAP Business AI at a global scale. This approach primarily relies on SAP AppHaus methodology, combined with NTT DATA Business Solution’s GenAI accelerated toolkit, to help customers identify high-value AI use cases, rapidly prototype solutions on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), and industrialize them across SAP Cloud ERP landscapes.

Furthermore, NTT DATA Business Solutions is providing multidisciplinary teams worldwide with a repeatable framework for AI exploration, design, and delivery through its Global Enablement Program. The initiative also brings together SAP AppHaus Human-centered design, NTT DATA Business Solution’s proprietary GenAI Accelerated assets, and SAP technologies such as Joule and SAP Business Data Cloud. This integrated approach helps customers reduce development risk, achieve faster time-to-value, and increase adoption rates by directly connecting AI innovation to core business processes. Thus, NTT Data Business Solutions adopts a unique perspective to AI deployment by embedding it into Cloud ERP transformation programs instead of treating it as a standalone initiative, an approach the company terms Cloud ERP Supercharged.

According to Nicolaj Vang Jessen, Executive Managing Director Consulting GIIC and Nordics & Eastern Europe, NTT DATA Business Solutions, “By combining human–centered design, ready–to–run AI extensions and Joule capabilities, we enable our customers to automate, run and continuously learn, turning Cloud ERP into a platform for sustained business performance.” Significantly, this partnership follows previous successful joint customer engagements where NTT Data Business Solutions supplied the SAP AppHaus approach and the GenAI Accelerated toolkit to organizations such as Amey and Aspen Pumps, among others, allowing them to make smarter decisions and automate internal systems to become more operationally resilient. CIO Bulletin views the SAP AppHaus methodology as reinforcing NTT Data Business Solutions’ ambition to actively shape the design, deployment, and scaling of SAP Business AI within SAP-centric enterprises.
