Specifically, SAP outlined the following:
Snowflake launched Snowflake Intelligence to general availability, outlined a set of new developer tools and forged a pact with SAP so Snowflake AI Data Cloud and SAP Business Data Cloud are interoperable.

Celonis is looking to embed its process intelligence platform into agentic AI workloads and make it clear that AI agents sans process knowhow won't deliver enterprise value.
