According to a survey by Duke University and the Richmond Federal Reserve, 54% of all CFOs plan to start using AI in the near future. 76% of CFOs from larger companies said the same.

While AI adoption is increasing across all industries, it is evident that larger companies are adopting it faster, giving them a competitive advantage. Many midsize companies struggle to keep pace due to limited resources and slower access to scalable AI solutions, putting them at risk of widening the competitive gap.

This session provides a blueprint on how midsize businesses can leverage AI and other intelligent technologies to remain competitive. Discover how SAP addresses key challenges directly by providing embedded, scalable AI solutions that midsize businesses can adopt quickly and cost‑effectively, enabling them to compete on equal footing with larger enterprises.

  • How midsize firms can stay competitive: Learn about SAP’s embedded, out‑of‑the‑box AI capabilities that do not need large budgets or specialist teams.
