Quick answers

Before you ask.

Does the AI change SAP on its own?

No. Nothing reaches SAP until your named approvers sign off. The steps that change SAP are fixed and tested, and you run UAT before anything moves to production.

Which SAP systems does it work with?

SAP S/4HANA on-premise and private cloud, including RISE, and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. On the public edition, some configuration steps are prepared and validated by the agents and applied by your team in SAP's own tools.

Is it suitable for regulated industries?

Yes. Human approval on every change, fixed execution steps and complete evidence per change fit the risk-based validation used in food, chemicals and life sciences.

How is it priced?

VPLM AI Ops is an annual subscription, starting from £75,000 a year. The exact price depends on the modules you choose (Specification, Recipe, Document or Label Management, or a bundle) and the number of objects. Annual maintenance and 24/7 critical support are included. Start the conversation for a quote.
