Overview: Deploy agents today. Unlock even more tomorrow.
The AI agents you stand up in SAP Ariba will lay the foundation for the future of procurement, and they’ll hit even harder in next-gen SAP Ariba. That's because the SAP Business AI Platform and Business Data Cloud significantly sharpen agentic decision-making, amplifying the value of everything you've already launched.
The Procurement Contract Assistant tracks commitments, monitors obligations, alerts users to risks or expirations, and supports renewal, renegotiation, or new sourcing decisions.
Tasks this assistant can help with:
- Creating legally compliant first drafts of contracts
- Monitoring contract terms continuously
- Analyzing expiring contracts to recommend a renewal strategy
Example use cases for this assistant:
- Instant first-draft contracts with missing terms flagged for contract owners
- Protecting contracts from potential obligation leakage and impacts before period-end
- Deciding whether to extend, renegotiate, consolidate, or exit a contract
