Doing AI Right with SAP
Sierra’s 20-year SAP partnership just got supercharged with AI. With exclusive early access to the formidable ecosystem of AI capabilities, Sierra has put together an End-to-End Enterprise AI suite across data, road-ready AI use cases, accelerated digital adoption, and robust security.
Here’s why Sierra is the ideal partner for your AI aspirations
Data Foundation
Data is the bedrock of any AI implementation. Sierra brings deep expertise in master data governance, data migration and transformation, as well as decades long experience with deployment and optimization. Furthermore, if AI is a rocket ship, SAP’s BDC is a powerful launchpad, and Sierra can get your data there. All this means that you can finally leverage your enterprise data, wherever it might be, to power your AI aspirations. ‘Data for every decision’.
Ready-to-Deploy AI Solutions
With AI-optimized data, Sierra can unlock a growing, extensible suite of ready to deploy AI solutions across a range of enterprise functions. From industry specific use cases like AFE Automation and Upstream Payout Automation, to the entire gamut of Source to Contract and Procure to Pay, we have them all.
AI-Powered Digital Adoption
With SAP WalkMe, Sierra brings users a powerful copilot – the world’s leading digital adoption platform. It makes users the stewards of data and IP. It shows users the next best action across any web app and any workflow, so teams and departments of all shapes and sizes can unlock the full capability of their solutions to boost productivity.
Robust Enterprise AI Security
Across IT and OT, Sierra ensures that an undercurrent of enterprise security runs through all organizational workflows. An AI security agent orchestrates a range of modules across user and asset security, data security, and sensitive OT security. Modules include single sign on, role based access, asset management, security awareness training, detection, remediation, data loss prevention, exception handling, and much more.
Challenges in Enterprise AI
AI is a Moving Target
CIOs are under constant pressure to track the accelerating capabilities of AI. The catch is, what AI is capable of today, might be rendered obsolete in six months. And what AI promises today, might never come to pass.
Problem of Plenty
There are supposedly specialist AI companies for every little part of every work flow. This has made it a nightmare to lock down an AI strategy. Over 65% of sales conversations end in ‘no decision’.
Data, the Elephant in the Room
Intuitively and empirically, enterprises realize that the vast trove of organizational data is nowhere near ready for meaningful AI deployment. This important pre-requisite is often smoothed over by companies pitching shiny AI tools.
No One-Stop AI Shop
There are few unified platform that can help enterprises realize their AI aspirations end-to-end. This makes for a fragmented AI approach that skews implementation cycles, ROI, and crucially, security.
Vulnerability Backlog
In the absence of a security framework that also accounts for AI infusions, the backlog of threats and vulnerabilities multiplies, potentially paralyzing operations and enterprise innovation.
Manifesting SAP’s AI Vision
In the context of the challenges with enterprise AI, SAP’s AI vision is a cohesive ecosystem of formidable tools and strategic integrations that allow organizations to embark on ambitious AI goals along a scalable, secure, and centralized roadmap.
At Sierra, we use SAP’s AI vision as the fundamental framework, as well as the source of powerful, innovative technologies to provide an end-to-end suite of AI solutions and services across four pillars across data, AI solutions, digital adoption, and enterprise security.
