The summer months can be a great opportunity to step back from daily project work and invest some time in learning something new. As SAP Business AI continues to evolve, I find it increasingly interesting to explore the technologies that help bring AI closer to business users. One topic that recently caught my attention is Joule Studio. What I enjoy most about learning is that it doesn't always have to be tied to a certification or a specific project.

Today, SAP is announcing the general availability (GA) of SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) Connect for Google BigQuery, delivering on our vision of a unified, AI-ready data ecosystem with Google Cloud.

In my Day 2 recap, I showed what the Autonomous Enterprise looks like in Finance, CX, and Supply Chain. All of it runs on one foundation: the SAP Business AI Platform.

Teams debated regional autonomy, currency configurations, chart of accounts alignment, fiscal calendars, and organisational boundaries; often for hours, sometimes for days. The difficulty? The controlling area has no equivalent in the real business world.
