While working with a big org recently, I’ve been thinking about something. What happens when businesses no longer scale by hiring more people — but by deploying more AI agents? This company ran on SAP — with massive teams handling invoices, supply chains, and customer support. It was efficient… but also slow and heavy. So we introduced AI agents into their SAP workflows. And here’s what happened: ✅ Customer queries were resolved in seconds. ✅ Invoices were processed without human touch. ✅ Supply chains were optimized 10x faster. But the most surprising part? The people in the company weren’t worried about AI taking over. They were relieved. Because suddenly — they weren’t stuck doing manual, repetitive tasks. They were now focused on bigger, high-impact work — like strategy, innovation, and growth. This is no longer a theory. We’re already seeing large enterprises using SAP shift from human-driven operations to AI-led execution. The companies that figure this out first? They’ll scale like never before. Curious — how do you see AI shifting enterprise operations in the next 5 years? 👇 #AgenticAI #SAPAutomation #AIinBusiness #BusinessAutomation #FluidAI #ScalewithAI #DigitalTransformation #BusinessStrategy

AI-powered answers are transforming enterprise productivity by 30% when integrated with business data systems. The future is here. Today we analyzed the SAP - Perplexity partnership announced at SAP Sapphire 2025, and the implications are profound for the entire HR technology ecosystem. We love what Aravind Srinivas is building. What we observed: → Joule (SAP's AI assistant) now delivers visual, structured answers by combining internal business data with Perplexity's real-time external intelligence ↳ HR leaders can instantly forecast talent needs based on market shifts, competitor moves, and internal workforce data → The integration unifies structured (HRIS, ATS) and unstructured data (documents, web) into a single seamless experience ↳ This eliminates the "system-hopping" that currently consumes 40% of an HR professional's productivity → Custom AI agents now automate complex talent workflows across the employee lifecycle ↳ Think: personalized onboarding that adapts in real-time to each new hire's behavior and engagement signals The most striking insight? Organizations implementing this integrated approach are seeing HR teams shift from 70% administrative work to 70% strategic talent advisory. ✨ Navigating the New Work Frontier ✨ As we shape tomorrow's workplace, consider these pivotal moves: → Establish your "HR Knowledge Graph" connecting disparate people data sources before siloes become barriers → Create cross-functional AI governance teams with explicit charters for responsible automation → Develop new HR capability models emphasizing human+AI collaboration skills → Audit existing workflows to identify high-value integration points for intelligent automation The future belongs to HR leaders who can orchestrate this symphony of human expertise and machine intelligence. This is precisely why we're building People Atom to empower visionary HR leaders with the private network and tools needed to navigate this transformation together. Curious how other forward-thinking HR executives are implementing these approaches? Join our waiting list and become part of the conversation shaping the next era of work. Love exploring the frontiers of HR transformation with you, Joe PS: Building PeopleAtom—the private network for HR leaders transforming people and technology. Because the most powerful insights happen when brilliant minds connect.
