See Bridge live in 30 minutesThe reality
Bans only breed shadow IT.
Your employees already use AI - just uncontrolled, in a private browser tab. A list of banned tools protects no data. It only moves the risk to where no one is looking.
Shadow AI
Sensitive content ends up in uncontrolled tools.
Lost productivity
Knowledge in SAP stays out of reach inside the system.
Frustration
"What am I even allowed to use any more?"
The shift
Don't ban it. Enable it.
We put powerful AI tools in your people's hands - on vetted SAP data, right inside Teams. Secure, because it's curated and auditable. So your team uses AI fast and efficiently, and everything still stays protected.
Clarity in governance, too. Not just in the data.
How it works
SAP knowledge, made understandable - in Teams.
Talk with your data. Not about it.
Use cases
What that means in practice - along your SAP processes.
From the daily lookup in day-to-day operations to the condensed decision brief for management: examples from procurement, sales, finance, production and utilities - operational and analytical, each in the SAP standard and with the human in the decision.
The daily lookup
Document-level questions from everyday work, answered factually - one prompt instead of a click-path. Procurement (P2P), Sales (SD), Finance (FI-AP), Production (PP), Utilities (IS-U).
The decision brief
Condensed across time, customers, suppliers or periods - with charts and diagrams right in the answer. Negotiation brief, margin review, feasibility, energy portfolio.

Why it's secure
Secure by design.
Curated
The AI plans nothing on its own - only approved, named actions. A deterministic dispatcher routes; no AI-planned chains of calls.
Read-only first
You always start safe - read-only. Updates or workflows with postings come, if at all, only in later steps - tightly scoped and controlled.
Identity & your own rights
Every access via Entra ID, mapped to SAP roles. Users move only within their own SAP authorisations - SAP's authorisation system ensures no one goes beyond them.
Auditable
Complete logging in Azure API Management and in SAP: who, when, what, on what basis - fully traceable.
Security isn't a ban - it's the permission.
Data sovereignty
Your data stays with you.
Xient Bridge runs inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant. Your data never leaves it - there is no detour through Xient systems and no data stored with us. What sits in your tenant stays in your tenant, under your control.
Whether that data resides on German or European servers is determined by your Microsoft tenant configuration. Your Microsoft administrators ensure this - they set regional data residency to meet your requirements. We are glad to advise on the right setup.
In short: your data is yours - and stays where you want it.
Compliant - from the start
Designed for the relevant frameworks.
Many "AI-on-SAP" approaches come under pressure. Xient Bridge is built deterministic, curated and auditable from the start - and oriented to the relevant frameworks.
Read-only information and summaries of vetted data, with people in the decision. We assess the specific regulatory classification per use case in the pilot and governance check. Your data stays in SAP and in your Microsoft tenant; no intermediate server, no copy.
BSI C5 refers to the attestation (Type 2) of the Microsoft platform used, not to a Xient certification. Concrete certifications and conformity evidence (including ISO/IEC 42001) are in preparation; the framework references serve to position the solution design.
Why Xient
End-to-end - not piecemeal.
Concentrated SAP expertise, combined with strategy, security and deep integration. SAP leads - but it's no island: the real value comes from integration where SAP alone stops. And the AI inside it is no trend add-on, but long-since productive practice for us.
Governance
Aligned with SAP API Policy and the relevant frameworks; data protection from the start, ISO/IEC 42001 in preparation.
Security
Entra ID, least privilege, central audit, read-only discipline.
Integration
Across heterogeneous, distributed landscapes - SAP leading, not an island.
From strategy through governance, transformation and architecture to process consulting. We don't just deliver recommendations - we deliver impact.
FAQs
What decision-makers ask first.
Can the AI change things in SAP on its own?
No. You always start safe - read-only. The AI plans no chains of calls; it uses only approved, named actions. Updates or workflows that also post come only in later steps - tightly scoped, with named users, SAP authorisations and the four-eyes principle.
Does our data stay with us?
Yes. Your data stays in SAP and in your Microsoft tenant. There's no intermediate server and no copy. Access runs via your identities (Entra ID), mapped to your SAP roles.
How does this fit with the EU AI Act and GDPR?
Xient Bridge provides read-only information and summaries of vetted data, with people in the decision. Users work only within their own SAP authorisations - SAP's authorisation system ensures exactly that. For personal data, data protection remains authoritative; we assess the specific regulatory classification per use case in the governance check.
What about SAP Joule and SAP Business AI?
SAP Joule and SAP Business AI are important parts of the SAP strategy. Xient Bridge is not a counter-model but a pragmatic complement: for customer-specific processes on existing SAP landscapes (ECC and S/4HANA), in Microsoft Teams, with your authorisations and full auditability - quick and controlled to pilot.
How do we evidence access?
Fully - and doubly: logged both in Azure API Management and in SAP. Who, when, what and on what data basis is fully traceable. Identity comes from Entra ID, the authorisations stay leading in SAP S/4HANA - without distributed shadow integrations.
