SAP AI Foundation
SAP AI Foundation enables brands to build secure, composable AI on SAP BTP, combining model freedom, enterprise governance, and seamless integration with SAP business processes.
The foundation for composable, brand‑specific AI
Every brand has unique processes, customer interactions, and data. SAP AI Foundation is designed to embrace that uniqueness instead of forcing you into a one‑size‑fits‑all AI model. It provides a flexible, enterprise‑grade foundation to build, run, and evolve AI use cases that are truly specific to your brand and your business context.
SAP AI Foundation is the backbone for composable AI. It allows us to combine the best AI capabilities available in the market with your existing SAP landscape, while keeping control over security, governance, and cost.
Built on SAP Business Technology Platform
SAP AI Foundation is built on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), SAP’s unified platform for integration, data, and extension. This means your AI use cases run close to your business data, integrate natively with SAP applications, and follow the same enterprise standards for security, compliance, and lifecycle management.
By leveraging SAP BTP, AI becomes an integrated part of your digital core instead of a disconnected experiment.
Why this matters for your brand
With SAP AI Foundation, AI becomes a composable capability rather than a fixed solution. You can design AI use cases that reflect your brand logic, customer journeys, and operational reality, while staying flexible in a fast‑moving AI market.
It is not about choosing the “right” AI model today. It is about having a future‑proof foundation that lets you adapt tomorrow.
SAP AI Core
Freedom of choice, without vendor lock‑in
SAP AI Core is the execution layer of SAP AI Foundation. It is where AI models are trained, deployed, and run as scalable services. AI Core is deliberately model‑agnostic. SAP does not bet on a single “winning” AI model or provider. Instead, it allows you to use and switch between models available in the market, whether they are open‑source, hyperscaler‑based, or SAP‑provided.
This approach protects your long‑term AI strategy. As the AI market evolves, you can adopt better or more cost‑efficient models without redesigning your entire architecture.
Enterprise AI security and ethics built in
On top of model execution, SAP AI Core provides guardrails that are essential for enterprise AI adoption. These include controlled access, workload isolation, monitoring, and support for responsible AI practices such as grounding, data filtering, and governance.
This ensures your AI use cases are not only powerful, but also secure, compliant, and trustworthy by design.
Consumption using your BTP credits
All AI usage within SAP AI Core runs on SAP BTP and can be consumed using your existing BTP credits. This gives you financial transparency and avoids fragmented AI subscriptions across different vendors.
Contact us to explore how you can activate AI Foundation within your current BTP setup and maximize the value of your credits.
SAP AI Launchpad
Central control and visibility for all AI cases
SAP AI Launchpad is the management interface for SAP AI Foundation. It provides a single place to oversee all AI scenarios, models, and deployments, even when they run across multiple runtimes or environments.
Through AI Launchpad, teams can monitor AI usage, manage lifecycles, control access, and gain visibility into how AI is consumed across the organization. This makes AI manageable at enterprise scale and accessible to both technical and business stakeholders.
