In an early access program, KPMG, one of SAP’s largest alliance partners and a customer, is using AI-driven assistance to deliver faster, more impactful results for its clients.
Today, system integrators are faced with increasingly complex implementations that require faster decision-making, streamlined processes, and optimized resource allocation. To successfully navigate the scale and complexity of these projects, consultants need instant access to expert-level knowledge and best practices across SAP solution landscapes.
Now, new generative AI capabilities from the SAP Joule for Consultants solution can help consultants to work smarter, deliver projects faster, and drive greater impact for clients—and KPMG firms are leading the way in harnessing its potential.
“Clients trust KPMG firms with their most critical digital transformations, and we maintain that trust with a focus on pursuing the fastest, most reliable path to value. KPMG firms are enabling their teams with AI to consistently and swiftly deliver an unmatched combination of advanced technology, functional and industry insights, and proven practices from across our global network to clients.”
