NTT DATA launches Gen AI connector to integrate AI into SAP business systems

NTT DATA Business Solutions India has launched a new tool called the Gen AI Connector. It is designed to integrate generative AI features into existing SAP systems used by businesses. 

The connector is part of a broader effort by the company to support the use of AI in enterprise software. It helps organizations test, develop, and apply AI features in business processes that already run on SAP platforms. The tool works with SAP Business Technology Platform and connects to various generative AI APIs. 

According to the company, the Gen AI Connector uses a use-case driven approach. It includes workshops to identify business needs, followed by rapid prototyping to test solutions. The company says this process can take businesses from early exploration to live use in about 12 weeks. 

The connector is intended to support a range of activities, such as analyzing data, predicting outcomes, and assisting with decision-making. It aims to make AI adoption more practical by linking it directly with tasks and processes that are already part of existing systems. 

It is built to scale so that businesses can expand its use over time. The company also highlights the use of human input in the development process to ensure that AI features are relevant and applicable to real-world operations. 

NTT DATA is offering the Gen AI Connector to SAP customers looking to add AI functions to their systems without major changes to their infrastructure. The goal is to make AI more accessible and easier to use in day-to-day business operations. 

“Gen AI Connector is not just a tool—it’s a strategic enabler, We’ve developed it with the core goal of helping businesses embed AI where it matters most: inside real processes, powering real decisions, and delivering real ROI” said Krunal Patel, Joint Managing Director, NTT DATA Business Solutions India.
