Using SAP’s Open AI Platform Architecture to Deploy Your Own Python & R Models on SAP BTP: Architecture, Setup, and Execution

Maximizing Your Transformation Investment

Location: Jackson

About this session

In this session, we take a practical look at how organizations can leverage their existing investment once they transition to SAP S/4HANA and the Business Technology Platform (BTP). We explore how SAP AI Core serves as an open foundation for your enterprise AI initiatives. Featuring a real-time demonstration from both a business and architectural perspective, attendees will see how SAP BTP handles everything from simple predictive algorithms to complex machine learning models. We will demonstrate how data scientists and analysts can run industry-standard Python and R code directly alongside S/4HANA and external data sources. By bringing models directly to the data, organizations achieve high-speed performance and eliminate the friction, latency, and cost of moving data to third-party platforms.
