Platform

One governed bridge between AI and your core systems.

Xient Bridge is delivered through Microsoft 365 Copilot and answers from SAP - through a curated, deterministic dispatcher instead of free AI access. It works wherever Copilot works: Teams first, plus Outlook and SharePoint. Voice input and output as well as extended, graph-based analytics are in development.

Live in Microsoft Teams

Real questions. Real SAP answers.

Five unedited answers from a live demo system - tap to enlarge. Bridge answers in the language you ask in; these examples are in German.

Values shown are SAP standard demo data.

The dilemma

One question. Four transactions. Window upon window.

This is what getting a simple answer looks like today: open the order, look up the material, check the supplier, find the business partner. A different transaction each time, a new window each time, and each time someone who knows where to look. Twenty-eight seconds, uncut.

  • Four transactions for one question
  • You have to know where to look
  • Ten to twenty-five minutes, every single time

With Bridge: the same question, one answer, in Teams. See the recordings

Recorded in an SAP demo system, without Bridge.

Architecture

Built for the enterprise it runs in.

Your Microsoft tenant

Bridge is delivered through Microsoft 365 Copilot and runs inside your own Microsoft environment - it respects the permissions you already manage there.

Deterministic dispatcher

Every question is routed to a curated set of released SAP functions. The AI never gets free access to your system - the dispatcher decides, deterministically.

SAP standard services

Bridge connects to SAP ECC and S/4HANA through standard services - no modification of your core, no parallel data copy to maintain.

Auditable end to end

Who asked what, which function answered, on which data - traceable at every step. Read-only; write access only where you explicitly release it.

*Write actions such as creating or approving documents are planned for later phases - released explicitly, function by function, under your governance. Bridge starts read-only.

If the process exists in SAP and the corresponding service is available, Xient Bridge can make it accessible through natural language and intelligent agents.

Available capabilities depend on the connected systems, activated APIs and services, data quality, user permissions and applicable governance policies.

And to be equally clear about what Bridge is not:

  • Not another generic chatbot.
  • Not a replacement for SAP.
  • Not uncontrolled autonomous AI.
  • Not a shadow process layer.

Bridge and SAP Joule

Respect for Joule. A different starting point.

Every major vendor is building its assistant - and SAP Joule and SAP Business AI are genuinely strong moves, deep inside SAP's own suite. If your people live in SAP screens all day, that's exactly where an assistant belongs.

Bridge starts from the other side: natively inside Microsoft Teams and the 365 ecosystem, where most of your organization actually spends its day. No particular SAP release required, no waiting for a migration - and anything beyond the SAP suite needs individual integration work either way. That ground is Bridge's home turf.

Security & governance

Built for your most critical reviewers.

Curated instead of open-ended. Read-only. The human in the decision. And four facts your security team will want in writing:

Your SAP rights. Nothing more. Every SAP access runs through the user's own SAP account. Nobody sees a single record beyond what their existing SAP authorizations already allow - Bridge never widens permissions.
No data leaves. Everything stays inside your own Microsoft tenant. Bridge holds no data, runs no cloud of its own and sends nothing anywhere else - the only processor involved is Microsoft, under your existing agreements.
In line with SAP's AI policy. Bridge reaches SAP exclusively through released standard services - no scraping, no core modification, no undocumented access.
ISO/IEC 42001-aligned. Bridge is engineered in line with ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems.

Not banning it. Enabling it.
