Just back from SAPPHIRE Madrid. Is Joule SAP's "Apple ecosystem"?
The Joule demos at SAPPHIRE were impressive, but I left with one main takeaway: you need to be neck-deep in the full SAP suite for it to actually work as advertised. It feels exactly like the Apple ecosystem. It looks magical if you're running S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Ariba, and BTP together. But if your architecture is a mix of external systems (like Salesforce or Workday), the native context stops and the experience seems to break. What’s your take? Is Joule just SAP's ultimate lever to force full public cloud adoption, or will it actually play nice and deliver value in hybrid/multi-vendor architectures?
