A Game-Changing Partnership: n8n x SAP
In what could define the next wave of enterprise automation, n8n has officially partnered with SAP a global leader in business software and digital transformation.

Together, n8n and SAP are joining forces to extend the agentic capabilities of Joule and Joule Studio on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) powered by n8n’s AI orchestration and automation engine.
The vision is ambitious yet practical: to help teams build governed, observable AI agents that move beyond simple automation. These agents will be able to interact intelligently across systems, analyse data in real time, and make decisions with context and compliance all while keeping security, traceability, and control at the forefront.
