Intelligent virtual assistants have clearly proved their value across both consumer and commercial applications over the past decade, and they are growing more sophisticated by the day. In the business arena, SAP has long been a leader in delivering automation powered by artificial intelligence (AI) – a mandatory element – for scores of cross-industry use cases, from customer service and HCM to travel planning. In fact, SAP just announced that IBM Watson technology will be embedded into SAP solutions to help users boost productivity with both natural language capabilities and predictive insights.

 

Meanwhile, we continue to seek out innovations from partners to augment our offerings and help our customers thrive in the face of relentless pressures – from a shrinking workforce to competitive pressures and demands for improved efficiency. These offerings are built on SAP Business Technology Platform, which brings together data and analytics, AI, application development, automation, and integration in a unified environment.

 

Here are some of the top partner solutions available on SAP Store.

 

Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform harnesses massive amounts of data to help recruiters pinpoint, engage, and retain qualified talent. And it does so while eliminating bias to help meet diversity goals – which is essential for creating teams that can build products and services for a diverse customer base. While AI is often blamed for bias, this solution uses AI to do the opposite. This solution integrates with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, SAP ERP HCM, and SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting.

 

Text Recruiting Automation and Conversational AI by Paradox helps hiring teams screen and schedule interviews with an assistant that provides recruiting automation with a human touch. Candidates can apply for jobs in minutes by texting or chatting across applications, with the candidate data passed into SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. The solution delivers a simple, fast mobile experience for candidates as well as recruiters.

 

JobPts by Semos Cloud helps improve company culture and employee experience and engagement by providing meaningful rewards – among them, gift cards, vouchers, adventures travel, and donating to a cause of their choice. The idea is to align people with corporate values while encouraging their success in the workplace. JobPts integrates recognition with existing HCM applications, accessible from any type of device, including SAP SuccessFactors Performance and Goals.

 

Zoovu Conversational Assistants humanize product discovery, making products easier to find, evaluate, and buy by bringing context to your search. For a complex purchase, Zoovu helps the buyer get specifications and compliance right, and can serve as an assistant for product experts, too – freeing them up for transactions that required their know-how. It integrates with SAP Commerce Cloud, SAP Sales Cloud, and SAP CPQ solutions.
