Bielefeld – November 05, 2026 -- NTT DATA's AI agents automate more than 90 percent of supplier order confirmations at Lemvigh-Müller, a result that helped the company win two SAP awards at the SAP TechEd partner summit in Berlin at the end of October.
SAP named NTT DATA an SAP Business AI Platform Validated Partner. The company also took part in SAP's "partner agent race to SAP TechEd", which recognizes autonomous agents built on the SAP Business AI Platform that customers already use in production.
Customer deployments report 98 percent matching accuracy and 50 percent time savings
At Lemvigh-Müller, the Purchase Order Confirmation Matching Agent processes over 90 percent of supplier confirmations fully automatically, with a hit accuracy of around 98 percent.
At zeb, the Project Staffing Agent cut the time needed for individual time entries by 50 percent.
Synthomer uses the Purchase Order Conversion Agent to bring agentic AI into its order-to-close processes. In beta tests on incoming orders, the agent assigned materials correctly on the first attempt in 98 percent of cases.
All 11 agents are available in the SAP Discovery Center
NTT DATA's portfolio comprises 11 agents, all now listed in the SAP Discovery Center. Three of them:
- The Purchase Order Matching Agent reconciles incorrectly specified orders against the SAP material catalog.
- The Supplier Contract Leakage Agent identifies price deviations and unclaimed rebates in supplier contracts.
- The Validated Sales Order Creation Agent generates customer orders from incoming order documents in validated life-sciences environments.
SAP validation requires certified expertise, customer go-lives and Joule use
Validated Partner status goes beyond building and publishing agents. SAP also requires certified expertise, live customer deployments and active use of SAP Joule for Consultants. Partners must also show alignment with SAP's AI-native North Star Reference Architecture.
Krunal Patel, Global AI, Innovation & Software Assets Leader at NTT DATA Business Solutions, said agentic AI delivers its potential once it leaves the pilot phase and becomes part of daily operations.
Karl Fahrbach, SAP's Chief Partner Officer, said success in the next phase of enterprise transformation will increasingly be measured by the concrete business value agentic AI creates for customers. He called partners the key multiplier for SAP's "Autonomous Enterprise" vision.
NTT DATA says the deployments support its goal of becoming the world's leading AI-native services company.
