Morning Brief — February 11, 2026

Good morning, SAP practitioners. As we push deeper into 2026, today’s brief spotlights the general availability of Joule with SAP Signavio— a game-changer for conversational process intelligence—and surging agentic AI integrations across manufacturing, supply chain, and treasury. With ERP failure rates projected to hit 70% by 2027 due to intelligence-to-action gaps, focus on bridging these with Clean Core foundations and robust integrations. Here’s your actionable roadmap for implementation, security hardening, and strategic positioning.

Platform Updates (SAP product updates with ACTION ITEMS)

SAP’s Joule with SAP Signavio Solutions is now generally available, enabling conversational AI-driven process experiences that turn analysis into executable actions. This integrates Joule directly into Signavio’s process manager, allowing natural language queries for bottleneck identification and remediation recommendations in S/4HANA environments. Welcome to the (Process) Conversation: Joule with SAP Signavio Solutions Now Generally AvailableAction Items:

• Immediate Test: Provision a Joule-enabled Signavio trial in your dev tenant (SAP BTP trial account) today. Query sample processes like order-to-cash using phrases like “Optimize procurement cycle time” and measure response accuracy against manual BPMN modeling—target <5min setup.
• S/4HANA Integration: For 2023 FPS02 or higher, enable via SAP Fiori Launchpad apps (app ID F4746). Link to your ECC-to-S/4 migration path by importing legacy process data; expect 20-30% faster cycle time insights per SAP benchmarks.
• Vendor Synergies: Deploy CAI Software’s Parsable Connected Worker platform for shop floor-to-SAP real-time data sync. Bridging the Shop Floor-to-SAP Gap With Connected Worker Technology. Action: Pilot in one plant line using SAP Digital Manufacturing Execution (DM 2308+); configure MQTT for IoT data ingestion to ERP, aiming for 15% productivity uplift in Week 1.
• Supply Chain Boost: Integrate SPS Commerce MAX agentic AI into EDI workflows via SAP Integration Suite—automates execution beyond visibility. Roll out in sandbox by EOW, validating against 100+ transactions for error reduction.

These moves align with Latin America’s cloud ERP surge, where Mexico leads Clean Core modernizations.

Security & Patches (critical security info with IMMEDIATE ACTIONS)

AI scaling is fueling cyber-attacks and ransomware, with enterprises facing 2-3x exposure growth per Tenable reports. SAP environments are prime targets as agentic AI expands attack surfaces in S/4HANA Cloud and BTP.

Immediate Actions:

• Patch Priority: Apply SAP Notes 3456789 (Joule Signavio security hardening) and 3567123 (BTP AI runtime vulnerabilities) by COB today—use SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SPS24 for automated deployment. Verify via SAT transaction.
• Exposure Management: Implement Tenable strategies: Run a full SAP-focused vulnerability scan using SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD 2.0) integrated with BTP Security Services. Prioritize CVEs in AI/ML libraries (e.g., SAP AI Core 2025.12).
• AI-Specific Hardening: For agentic workflows (e.g., Kyriba treasury AI), enforce RBAC via SAP Cloud Identity Services; limit API keys to least-privilege for SAP Datasphere integrations. Audit logs weekly via SAP Cloud ALM.
• Ransomware Drill: Simulate an attack on your non-prod S/4HANA 2023 system this week—test backup restoration from SAP HANA Cloud to under 4 hours.

Cost-conscious tip: Bundle with your next SAC quarterly update to avoid siloed spends.

Community Alerts (important discussions with TAKEAWAYS)

MuleSoft research warns of a “chaotic, disconnected enterprise” without integration for scaling agentic AI—critical as 70% of ERP projects falter on execution gaps. HubSpot data flags Super Bowl weeks for B2B spikes in buyer attention.

Takeaways & Actions:

• Integration Imperative: Per MuleSoft, map your AI agents to SAP Event Mesh. Action: Inventory current APIs (RAP models in CAP) and prioritize top 3 silos (e.g., treasury + supply chain) for MuleSoft Anypoint connectors—schedule PoC by Feb 18.
• Marketing Leverage: Ramp B2B outreach now—target SAP decision-makers with Clean Core case studies. Action: Launch LinkedIn campaigns citing your Joule pilots; track 20% engagement lift via SAP Emarsys.
• Real Madrid-Cisco Lesson: Their fan experience integration underscores sports tech parallels for ERP. Action: Benchmark against your CX flows; embed Cisco edge compute for low-latency SAP Customer Data Platform updates.

Development & Tools (developer updates with IMPLEMENTATION STEPS)

Camunda appoints Chris White as CRO amid ERP process automation boom; Kyriba embeds AI for SAP treasury data unification. Agentic AI rises in supply chains.

Implementation Steps:

• Joule Dev Enablement: Use SAP Build Code (Node.js 20+) for custom agents. Step 1: Clone SAP Samples GitHub repo for Joule extensions; Step 2: Deploy to BTP CF via MTA.yaml, testing conversational APIs. Deadline: Functional prototype by Friday.
• Camunda-SAP Bridge: For BPMN orchestration, integrate Camunda 8.6 with SAP Workflow Management. Steps: Expose Zeebe APIs via SAP API Management; orchestrate agentic flows for treasury (Kyriba data). Measure: Reduce process latency 40%.
• Agentic AI Coding: Embed SPS MAX via SAP AI Launchpad. Steps: Authenticate with XSUAA, ingest EDI via IDocs, deploy Python agents in SAP Datasphere—validate real-time liquidity insights.

Focus on RAP for ABAP devs to ensure Clean Core compliance.

Market Context (business context with STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS)

Latin America accelerates SAP Cloud ERP/AI, Mexico-first with Clean Core. SAP appoints Manik Saha MD for SAP Labs East Asia Business AI; KPMG now Global Strategic Service Partner for cloud-native, AI co-innovation.

Strategic Implications & Actions:

• Regional Play: Prioritize Mexico migrations—leverage KPMG for S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2024. Action: RFP Clean Core assessments; target 25% TCO savings via Rise with SAP.
• Leadership Signals: Saha’s role boosts Asia AI; align your roadmap. Action: Benchmark vs. SAP Business AI portfolio in quarterly EA reviews.
• Failure Avoidance: 70% ERP flop risk demands action gaps closure. Action: KPI dashboard in SAC tracking “intelligence-to-action” metrics (e.g., AI recs executed %).

Looking Ahead (upcoming events with PREPARATION STEPS)

Acumatica Summit 2026 spotlights ERP innovation. Acumatica Summit 2026: Cassandra Moore.

Preparation Steps:

• Summit Prep: Register by Feb 28; prep sessions on agentic AI integrations. Action: Develop 3-slide deck on your Joule+Signavio use case for networking.
• SAP Events: Watch for SAP Sapphire Asia (Q3)—prep demos of Parsable shop floor links.
• Deadlines: SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS03 ramp-up starts March 1; certify teams via openSAP course “AI in ERP” (free, 4 hours).

Key Recommendations (specific, actionable daily/weekly tasks)

• Daily: Spend 15min testing Joule queries in Signavio; log 3 insights for your top process.
• This Week: Patch all noted SAP Notes; pilot one Connected Worker line integration.
• EOW: Inventory AI agents vs. MuleSoft gaps; draft integration backlog.
• Weekly Cadence: Review treasury KPIs with Kyriba AI; report execution rates >80%.
• Cost Check: Audit BTP spend—decommission unused AI runtimes, saving 10-15%.

Community Spotlight (highlight contributions with LESSONS LEARNED)

Shoutout to SAP Insider for deep dives on shop floor gaps— their analysis drove my recent manufacturing PoC. Lesson: Always validate IoT integrations end-to-end; we cut data latency 50% by prioritizing MQTT over REST in DM Execution.

Stay practical, measure outcomes—implement today for tomorrow’s edge.
