New Expert-Guided Implementation: Joule Prerequisites and Activation

[DaveRyan]

Establish the Foundation for Your AI Journey 

SAP Joule is transforming how organizations interact with SAP applications by bringing intelligence directly into everyday workflows. For customers to activate Joule and unlock its AI-powered capabilities, they must first prepare their SAP Cloud Identity Services (CIS), SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), and integration foundations to fully realize the value of Joule from day one. 

To support customers with this essential preparation, we are pleased to introduce a new Expert-Guided Implementation (EGI):  

Joule Prerequisites & Activation - a hands-on, expert-led program designed to help you configure all required technical components for a smooth Joule activation. 

This new offering helps customers understand Joule’s architecture, explore deployment options, configure platform prerequisites, and establish the identity and access foundation required for a secure activation. By the end of the EGI, participants will be positioned to complete all the prerequisites required to activate Joule, ensuring a seamless start to their AI adoption journey.

With AI rapidly becoming central to SAP’s product strategy, organizations need the right technical foundation to adopt Joule with confidence, security, and scalability.
