Machine Learning and AI Synergies for Next-Generation SAP IT Solutions

Abstract:

"Machine Learning with SAP: Key Concepts and Techniques" is a practical guide to embedding machine learning and AI within SAP-based IT environments. It covers SAP data architecture fundamentals and demonstrates how to move from siloed systems to modern analytics, with hands-on techniques for extracting and modeling enterprise data using transaction codes, BAPIs, OData, and Core Data Services. Core ML concepts—supervised and unsupervised learning, and neural networks—are presented through SAP-specific examples. Real-world applications include exploratory data analysis, anomaly detection, sales forecasting, customer segmentation, association rule mining, and sentiment analysis with R and Python. Actionable case studies, rapid proof-of-concept examples, and SAP dashboard integration are highlighted. The session ends with practical recommendations for experimentation, business/IT collaboration, and scalable, analytics-driven transformation for SAP-centric organizations.
