From Digital Transformation to AI Transformation: Real-World SAP Build & Joule Experiences

Are we still talking about "Digital Transformation," or has the conversation officially shifted to "AI Transformation"? In this episode of HANA Cafe NL, Twan van den Broek and Jan Penninkhof sit down with Deloitte experts Yves Suiker and Dennis van Klaveren to cut through the marketing noise and look at how low-code and GenAI are actually landing at customers today.

Key Highlights from the show:

• SAP Build in Action: Learn how Deloitte built a custom app in just weeks to track "floating containers" (mobile storage locations) for an offshore client—solving a complex logistics gap that standard S/4HANA didn't cover.
• The Power of Joule & Agents: The team discusses the rapid evolution from basic "skills" to "autonomous agents." They share a mind-blowing example of an agent built in just 3 hours that performs risk analysis for airlines by grounding SAP business data with real-time news.
• The "3-Hour Hackathon" Reality: Gone are the days of 48-hour caffeine-fueled coding marathons. With SAP Build and Joule Studio, functional consultants (not just developers) are delivering working prototypes in a single afternoon.
• Front-Runner Challenges: It’s not all "magic wand" waving. Yves and Dennis get honest about the "headaches" of being early adopters, from stability issues to the learning curve of debugging AI-driven logic.
• Advice for SAP Customers: If you have RISE with SAP, you likely already have Joule licenses. The message is clear: Start early. Don't wait for the AI race to "calm down" before you begin experimenting with your own data.

Why Watch? If you are an Enterprise Architect, Developer, or IT Lead wondering how to bridge the gap between "Clean Core" and the demand for rapid innovation, this episode provides a practical roadmap.
