Business Networks Harness Agentic AI to Bolster Collaboration and Operational Resilience Among Trading Partners
SAP, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
SAP describes how AI agents in SAP Business Network help buyers, suppliers and partners collaborate and manage risk across supply chains.
SAP argues that much AI value lies beyond a company's own processes, in collaboration with buyers, suppliers and other trading partners.
Business networks connect procurement organizations, service providers, financial institutions and AI agents to coordinate decisions and deter disruption.
SAP Business Network handled over US$8 trillion in commerce across more than 940 million transactions in the 12 months ending Q3 2026.
SAP says its AI agents contextualize operational data within parameters businesses set, and its vision is for the network to become the intelligence and execution layer for commerce, combining SAP Business Suite with network data and SAP Business Data Cloud.
