Yes, Joule works with S/4HANA On-Prem - Here’s how
At Neomore, we believe innovation should meet customers right where they are - not where technology trends say they should be.
Many organizations we work with still run on-premise S/4HANA or ECC systems. For them, the question isn’t whether to embrace AI, but how to start - in a way that adds real value today, not years down the line.
That is exactly the thinking behind our latest demonstration: extending SAP Joule to an on-premise S/4HANA environment.
Meeting customers where they are
While SAP Joule is making headlines as the face of Business AI in the cloud, customers with hybrid or on-prem landscapes often wonder how they can take part in that journey.
Our answer is simple: we bring Business AI to you, wherever you are on your cloud journey.
This demo showcases how Neomore has extended Joule intelligence to interact with our internal on-prem S/4HANA system. Built using SAP Build Process Automation and a custom Joule Skill, the solution allows Joule to perform live operations such as:
- Fetching installed equipment for a given functional location
- Creating maintenance notifications in S/4HANA
- Returning real-time results directly to the Joule interface
All of this happens securely through SAP BTP, without any heavy technical footprint.
And whether your backend is S/4HANA or ECC, the pattern remains the same: expose the needed processes via Integration Suite or OData services, orchestrate with BPA, and build the natural-language layer in Joule Studio.
What does it take to get started?
Surprisingly little.
The prerequisites are straightforward - SAP BTP access, Joule Studio and a connection to your S/4HANA system (on-prem or cloud). With these, our consultants can help customers quickly prototype or pilot AI use cases that demonstrate real operational value.
The goal isn’t to replace existing systems overnight, but to show how AI can enhance familiar processes - from maintenance to finance, HR or logistics - through natural language and some intelligent automation.
From demo to direction
This initiative was led by Neomore’s consultant Gino Lorusso, along with fellow experts. It is a small but powerful example of how we combine technical depth with practical creativity - translating SAP’s latest capabilities into tangible business use.
Looking ahead: Inspired by SAP TechEd
At SAP TechEd 2025, SAP highlighted a broad range of innovations across Business AI, BTP, and application development. Among these, the advancements around Joule Skills and the upcoming Agent Builder stood out as important steps toward a more open and extendable AI landscape.
For us at Neomore, these capabilities reinforce a simple message:
you can start using AI in your SAP ecosystem today. The tools and technologies are already available - whether your systems run in the cloud or hybrid.
Our demos show that practical AI scenarios are not theoretical. They work now.
There is no need to wait for a major migration or long transformation programme.
So, begin transforming your processes now.
