The Best Data for Business AI and Agentic AI

A highlight of the conference is a series of innovations around SNP’s software platform, Kyano. Under the theme 'The Best Data for Business AI,' SNP will introduce 'Kyano Oros,' a new solution that enhances the Kyano platform with the ability to process unstructured data—automating complex data migrations. Unstructured data accounts for approximately 80% of enterprise data and has traditionally been extremely difficult to leverage with conventional transformation tools. This new capability provides a critical foundation for modernizing corporate data infrastructures to be compatible with cutting-edge AI applications. Kyano Lorna is SNP’s new agentic AI layer for the proven Kyano platform, enhancing and extending decades of accumulated transformation expertise. Available 24/7 and supporting multilingual communication, it continuously applies best practices to support organizations throughout their entire transformation lifecycle. It reduces manual effort, accelerates decision-making, and delivers real-time insights at every stage of transformation projects. By directly embedding decades of data transformation knowledge and best practices into each project, customers and partners can execute SAP transformation projects using Kyano more quickly, efficiently, and with greater predictability.

Accelerating Secure, AI-Driven SAP Transformation Through New Partnerships

Another major highlight is SNP’s strategic partnership with Palantir, a global leader in AI and data platform technologies. Through this collaboration, SNP will deliver new AI-powered solutions to its customers. Further details will be unveiled at Transformation World.
