As organizations look to expand SAP business value with AI, many struggle to balance innovation with clean-core integrity, governance, and operational risk. This session introduces a side-by-side architecture enabled by the Red Hat–SAP partnership that allows AI capabilities to run alongside SAP, delivering real-time, governed outcomes without modifying the ERP core.

Attendees will:

• Understand how a side-by-side architecture enables organizations to protect the SAP core while accelerating AI innovation.

• Examine how distributed, safe AI execution can be operationalized across environments while remaining connected to SAP business processes.

• Learn how event-driven integration, rather than custom code, allows AI insights to flow into SAP workflows without modifying the ERP core.

• Explore how centralized governance supports explainable, compliant AI outcomes while enabling scalable, mission-critical adoption.
