BERLIN – October 27, 2026 -- Semos Cloud has qualified as a winner of the partner agent race to SAP TechEd 2026 after presenting 17 use cases. The initiative recognizes customer-adopted AI agents built on SAP Business AI Platform that have passed SAP's validation.

Semos Cloud runs more than 20 pro-code HR agents through SAP Joule

Semos Cloud's portfolio includes more than 20 pro-code, domain-specific AI agents. They are powered by Semos IQ, the platform's intelligence layer. Semos IQ connects recognition, rewards, surveys, feedback and communications data with SAP SuccessFactors context, so agents can interpret organizational activity and recommend where to act.

Global – October 22, 2026 -- SAP has stopped supporting updates to SAP Enable Now and is migrating customers to WalkMe, its recent acquisition. Organizations with learning programs on the legacy platform must now pick a replacement path.

Guide ranks six alternatives to SAP Enable Now

The vendor guide compares Whatfix, WalkMe, Assima, datango, Pendo and Userpilot. Datango is described as a migration-oriented option for legacy SAP Enable Now content. Pendo and Userpilot target customer-facing products, not SAP-centered employee enablement.

The guide frames the choice as a decision between a narrow, SAP-only training platform and a broader digital adoption model. That model would cover governed content operations, in-app support and measurable workflow outcomes across SAP and non-SAP systems.

Paris – October 17, 2026 -- SAP intends to acquire TechWolf, a skills-intelligence vendor that Brandon Hall Group says surfaces in nearly every in-depth enterprise skills discussion it holds with clients.

TechWolf's context graph is meant to ground SAP's Joule agents

SAP says TechWolf's context graph can serve as a grounding layer for agent queries. According to SAP, that foundation can make token usage more efficient and make Joule more intelligent in skills-based hiring, workforce planning and role redesign.

Brandon Hall Group Chief Strategy Officer commentary frames the deal as broader than skills. TechWolf increasingly pairs Skills Intelligence, Work Intelligence and Market Intelligence. That model links individual tasks, the skills employees apply and conditions in the external labor market.

Stockholm – October 13, 2026 -- Sinch AB has added Rich Communication Services (RCS) to its native integration with SAP Engagement Cloud, giving businesses on the platform a seventh messaging channel alongside SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, LINE, Viber and KakaoTalk.

Marketers can send RCS messages directly from SAP Engagement Cloud

Businesses using SAP Engagement Cloud can now create and send RCS messages to customers globally, where supported, without leaving their existing marketing environment. RCS supports branded and verified senders, rich media and interactive buttons inside the native messaging app on the customer's phone, which SMS cannot offer.

The integration is available only in markets where RCS Business Messaging is supported.

London and St Helier, Jersey – September 21, 2026 -- Bloomsbury Money Group has appointed Thomas Holst, a former SAP health-technology engineer with more than a decade of experience, as Chief Technology Officer to lead the build-out of its multi-jurisdiction banking platform.

Holst will unify fiat, digital assets and payment rails onto one platform

Holst joins from SAP's health technology ecosystem in Germany, where he spent 13 years building data-intensive, privacy-critical software for hospitals and research institutions and the cloud infrastructure supporting it. At Bloomsbury Money, he will oversee technology strategy, engineering and platform architecture as the group consolidates its multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, cross-border payments and regulated virtual asset services onto a single infrastructure designed to operate under one standard of control across multiple regulatory regimes.

Arlington, Va. – September 18, 2026 -- Organizations that hand strategic S/4HANA migration decisions to implementation partners face higher risks of cost overruns, project delays, and outcomes misaligned with business priorities, according to new research from Info-Tech Research Group. The warning comes as SAP's end of mainstream maintenance for ECC in 2027 forces enterprises to finalize migration plans.

Info-Tech says implementation partners lack full business context for critical trade-offs

Info-Tech's Build Your S/4HANA Migration Plan blueprint states that while technical partners are essential for execution, they cannot determine organizational priorities, transformation goals, or acceptable trade-offs. These decisions influence deployment strategy, governance, and organizational change throughout the migration.

Bad Friedrichshall – September 10, 2026 -- Schwarz Digits and SAP have launched RISE with SAP on STACKIT, making STACKIT the only European hyperscaler certified to run SAP's flagship cloud ERP program, with commercial availability starting immediately and technical provisioning set for November 2026.

Schwarz Digits achieved SAP certification for STACKIT within one and a half years, according to Chief Sales Officer Bernd Wagner. He said the milestone removes 'the last hurdle' for on-premises customers considering a cloud migration, positioning STACKIT as the first European hyperscaler to combine sovereignty with competitive pricing.
