I feel like it was yesterday when we were releasing the first edition of 2023 and then I blinked and it’s already time for our SAP BTP Innobytes December video. Oh, how the innovations fly 😊

This month brings back some OG Innobyters, like thomas.hammer3, sharing new updates in the world of SAP HANA Cloud, new faces with brand new topics, like wolfgang.theilmann, who is announcing the new SAP Cloud Logging service and new faces, but familiar topics, with tomasz.janasz, talking about the new Document Information Extraction premium edition with GenAI capabilities.


Data & Analytics Innovations on SAP BTP


SAP HANA Cloud: fairness support with decision-making based on machine learning models


As we increase the usage of artificial intelligence in different business scenarios, we need to make sure our models and algorithms are as “fair” as possible. SAP BTP wants to provide this support out-of-the-box. With this innovation, we are taking big steps in that direction.

What’s it all about?

We have added fairness support for decision-making based on machine learning models to SAP HANA Cloud within SAP BTP. The new FairML function, now integrated into our Predictive Analysis Library, takes a proactive stance against biases commonly found in sensitive data attributes like gender, race, and age. FairML seamlessly pairs with the Hybrid Gradient Boosting Tree models for binary classification and regression.

How does this enhancement benefit you?

Data scientists and application developers gain the power to construct machine learning models that actively counter unfairness. Picture scenarios where AI decisions need to be fair and unbiased, like college admissions or job candidate selections. This feature steps in to ensure fairness across all groups.

There have been several discussions in the past year about ethical AI. This innovation aligns with crucial standards to prevent discrimination by AI against specific demographic groups.

Application Development Innovations on SAP BTP


General Availability of SAP Cloud Logging service


Calling all SAP BTP developers who want to monitor their application’s performance and detect bugs or deficiencies before their end users – this update is for you.

We are happy to announce the general availability of the SAP Cloud Logging service. This new service allows application developers and operators to analyze their BTP workloads and check performance, errors, usage, and other characteristics of their cloud applications.

Cloud Logging service provides a comprehensive observability solution expanding the scope of its predecessor, Application Logging.

Use the service to ingest, store, and analyze application logs, metrics, and traces. Ingest data from Cloud Foundry or Kyma runtimes and benefit from pre-built managed analytical dashboards.

Here are a few examples:

Document Information Extraction, premium edition


If you’ve made it this far, you deserve a special treat.

Navigating the world of document processing can often feel like a labyrinth, with the potential to inflate costs and increase manual work, with overall operational costs reaching up to 10 Euros per single document. Let’s imagine that we can process different types of documents across the enterprise without increased costs or more manual work. Delivery notes, order confirmations, certificates, returnable packaging – you name it.

If that puts a smile on your face, you’ll be delighted with the new Document Information Extraction, premium edition, powered with new generative AI capabilities!

What’s included?

  • Auto extraction of unstructured data from any kind of a document - simply describe the piece of information that you need, and watch the solution do the heavy lifting.

  • Multilingual support covering over 40 languages out of the box, catering to global businesses.

  • Extension of existing extraction routines, for example, for supplier invoices by adding additional data points to be extracted.
