01 · The situation
SAP's AI asks you to move to the cloud first.
On-premises customers get SAP's assistant only after shifting half their maintenance spend to the cloud. Most won't be there for years, and the board wants results now.

02 · The critical example
Your warehouse is supported until 2040. The new AI is being built somewhere else.
BW/4HANA holds years of reconciled history your finance team already trusts. Getting the new AI means rebuilding that work in the cloud warehouse first.

The Sales VP asks once. Three systems answer as one.
Thursday, 09:15. The warning signs for a slipping customer sit in three places: the sales trend in BW, credit holds in S/4HANA, the last visit in CRM. No report shows them together. Buki reads all three where they live, counts a customer only when two signs agree, and proposes the next step without changing anything.
Asked by the Sales VP · Thu Oct 29, 09:15Quarterly review Friday
Which of our top customers are at risk this quarter, and why?
Every report shows a different list. I want one, with the reason for each name, before Friday's review.

1
Question understood6 ms
Top 20 customers, this quarter. "At risk" means two or more warning signs agree.
2
Three of five systems chosen210 ms
BW, S/4HANA and CRM. BPC and IBP are not needed, so Buki loads 9 tools instead of all 410.
3
Read where the data lives1.3s
All three systems are read in parallel, on-premises. No data is copied out.
4
Three customers flagged
Kestrel Foods, Corrib Home and Halden Paper: $9.6M of quarterly sales. Kestrel shows all three signs: sales −8.1%, $110K on credit hold, no contact for 34 days.

Nothing changes in SAP. The proposal waits for the Sales VP.
One answer, with its evidence1.9s
Every number links to the system it came from, so the list holds up in Friday's review.

That was a question someone thought to ask. The costlier problems are the ones nobody notices until a board pack is wrong.
Monday, 06:40. Buki checks your reports overnight, with the same systems and the same rules. When APAC jumped 10%, it opened an incident itself, traced the report back to the staging tables, found the one wrong record, fixed it once IT approved, and told Sales Operations before the working day began.
INC-24817 · opened by Buki · Mon Nov 2, 06:40P2 · board pack Wednesday
APAC October sales are 10% above forecast.
Nightly check, 06:40: APAC October net sales $48.6M against a $44.2M forecast (+10%). The usual gap is under 2%. No one has reported it yet.
Issue
APAC October net sales $48.6M vs $44.2M forecast (+10%)
Impact
Board pack, APAC commission accruals, and Greater China probably understated

06 · Why it scales
Configure it once. Reuse it everywhere.
All three stories ran on one setup. Most companies build a separate AI app for every problem. Buki adds each new system or question as configuration, so every next one is faster than the last.
