1. Create a proof of concept 2. Re-imagine critical business process 3. Deliver and operate scenarios

Adoption (CAIA) with SAP is to first create a proof of concept to realize value and test feasibility, then

re-imagine critical business processes with expert input to redesign and optimize them using AI, and

finally deliver and operate the scenarios to implement secure innovations and ensure continuous

adoption. This sequence ensures a structured approach to integrating custom AI solutions within SAP

Business AI, starting from validation, through transformation, to full deployment and maintenance.

Exact extracts supporting this:

From SAP learning resources on positioning SAP Business AI: "We ensure you realize value from

Cloud, Data, and AI, with Custom AI Adoption (CAIA) and with differentiated innovations tailored for

your unique business needs."learning.sap.com This represents the initial step of creating a proof of

concept to realize and validate value.

"We do this by re-imagining business processes with Functional, Industry, and generative AI experts

from SAP."learning.sap.com This directly corresponds to the second step of re-imagining critical

business processes.

"We deliver these differentiated innovations with secure software development and support

methodologies as standard in SAP Software."learning.sap.com Combined with "Leveraging the

power of the SAP BTP, we can focus on a clean core approach, ensuring continuous innovation

adoption."learning.sap.com This aligns with the third step of delivering and operating scenarios.

Additional support from SAP's official AI page: "With Joule’s agent builder, your teams can create and

deploy custom agents that are more powerful and impactful because they’re uniquely grounded in

your business processes."sap.com This implies starting with creation (proof of concept) and moving

to deployment (deliver and operate).

"Reimagining efficiency with SAP Business AI and Joule Agents - Explore how SAP Business AI and

Joule Agents can help your organization automate processes, accelerate decision-making, and drive

operational excellence."sap.com This confirms re-imagining as a key intermediate step.

This order is logical for AI adoption methodologies, where initial validation via proof of concept

precedes process redesign, followed by implementation and ongoing operations. Other sequences,

such as starting with re-imagining without proof or delivering before re-imagining, would not align

with standard SAP practices for custom AI integration.
