TLDR: MyWave, an independent software vendor specializing in agentic AI, has partnered with SAP to streamline and optimize customer migrations to SAP Cloud ERP. Their joint ‘ROI NOW’ program leverages AI agents to accelerate ‘clean core’ adoption, automate processes, and ensure business continuity, addressing common challenges in ERP transitions.
MyWave, a leading developer of agentic AI software for optimizing workflows within SAP systems, has announced a strategic collaboration with SAP to revolutionize the migration of customers from on-premise to cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions. This partnership aims to significantly enhance efficiency and accelerate the return on investment (ROI) for businesses undertaking these critical transitions.
The two companies have unveiled a new initiative called ‘ROI NOW,’ designed to expedite the move to Cloud ERP and deliver tangible business value rapidly. Migrating from legacy on-premise systems to the cloud often presents considerable challenges, including managing complex custom code, significant time investments, and substantial costs. Historically, automation tools have played a role in smoothing these transitions, and the integration of agentic AI represents a logical and advanced progression in this automation.
MyWave offers a comprehensive catalog of AI agents specifically designed to be applied to various SAP functions, facilitating more efficient migrations. These personalized AI agents are capable of learning, acting, and delivering outcomes, making SAP templates faster and smarter. Geraldine McBride, CEO of MyWave and former SAP president, emphasized the impact of these agents, stating, “The AI agents from MyWave, together with SAP, are getting this faster clean core adoption; that means all the Z codes, all the changes, all of the Brownfield sites, we’re able to use AI agents now to basically remove and replace those, rapidly releasing new value.”
Santina Franchi, SAP President, Corporate and GROW, highlighted the strategic importance of this collaboration during an online event with MyWave. She urged MyWave’s network of over 150 partners to embrace agentic AI to drive ROI, remarking, “With MyWave and SAP, you can lead your clients into the agentic AI era and monetize your IP faster.” GROW is SAP’s dedicated offering to assist mid-market companies in adopting Cloud ERP.
The ‘ROI NOW’ program leverages AI agents to achieve several key objectives for customers:
Accelerate ‘clean core’ adoption: This simplifies and modernizes ERP environments by keeping implementations as close as possible to standard SAP configurations, minimizing customizations and utilizing the latest software versions.
Automate vital processes: AI agents unlock ROI across both legacy and Cloud ERP systems by automating routine and complex tasks.
Ensure business continuity: The transformation journey is managed seamlessly, turning migrations into catalysts for enterprise-wide innovation.
Orchestrate workflows: AI agents can intelligently orchestrate workflows across SAP, cloud, legacy, and partner systems.
