Avantra, a global leader in AI-driven SAP operations automation, is debuting Avantra AIR, an advanced AI copilot for SAP operations, and announced the forthcoming release of Avantra 25, a new and further enhanced version of the company’s renowned AIOps platform. These announcements were made at its 2024 Global Summit in Germany.“As the demands on IT operations teams continue to grow, our mission is to empower them to work smarter, not harder,” said John Appleby, CEO of Avantra. “With Avantra AIR and the upcoming Avantra 25, we’re giving our customers a competitive edge, enabling them to automate the routine and focus on innovations that drive their business forward.”
At the heart of the company’s latest innovation is Avantra AIR, an AI copilot that redefines the possibilities of automation for SAP environments, according to the company. Designed to act as an autonomous assistant, Avantra AIR leverages over 20 virtual agents to monitor, detect, and address system issues proactively. From real-time performance analysis to automatic alert generation and resolution through platforms like ServiceNow, Avantra AIR minimizes downtime and empowers IT teams with actionable insights.
“The complexity of modern SAP environments calls for an intelligent, responsive system,” said Andreas Vermeulen, head of AI at Avantra. “Avantra AIR provides just that—a system that can think critically about what it is seeing and respond autonomously, delivering support that goes beyond human capabilities.”
Key features of Avantra AIR include in-depth root cause analysis, preventive maintenance recommendations, and executive summaries, allowing teams to stay focused on strategic goals rather than firefighting day-to-day issues.
Additionally, at the event, customers and prospects were able to preview Avantra 25, the latest upgrade to the AIOps platform, set for release on November 27, 2024. Building on the foundation of Avantra 24, which enhanced automation capabilities, Avantra 25 introduces robust cloud integration, tailored specifically to support hybrid and cloud-native SAP systems.
Key features of Avantra 25 include:
- S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Support: Automatic deployment of standard checks, enhanced remote monitoring, real-time and daily system diagnostics, specifically in the security space.
- Business Technology Platform (BTP) Integration: New managed objects for automated setup of global accounts, sub accounts, and cloud foundry deployed applications, which offer real-time and daily monitoring of costs, quotas, security, and application runnability. New automation workflows for management of quotas and start/stop of applications.
- Customizable Ansible Integration: Enhanced for ease of deployment and operational consistency, allowing users to create and run Ansible playbooks, offering enterprise grade source code control and deep integration of Avantra managed objects to Ansible inventories
