Comparison / AIGIS resources

A SAP Joule alternative for companies that need AI across ERP and everything around it.

Joule is built for the SAP estate. AIGIS is built for the operational reality around SAP: CRM, ITSM, data warehouses, and custom systems that all need permission-aware AI access.

Executive read

The short version, before the deep dive.

Joule is strongest for SAP-native work.

AIGIS can include SAP in a broader governed query path.

AIGIS never copies ERP data into a new AI data lake.

Customer-hosted or private deployments can keep the AIGIS runtime inside an approved boundary when that activation path is explicitly selected.

Analysis

What matters

ERP data needs live governance

ERP data is operationally sensitive. Purchase orders, pricing, supplier risk, inventory, and financial records should not be duplicated into an AI shadow store just to answer a question.

AIGIS queries live systems, strips inaccessible fields, and logs the permission decision behind each result. The data remains where the system of record already governs it.

When SAP is one system among many

The most valuable enterprise questions often cross the boundary between SAP and other systems. A sales leader may need account context from Salesforce, fulfillment status from SAP, and incident history from ServiceNow.

AIGIS can route scoped requests across connected systems when each connector's trust boundary is validated, while preserving and disclosing each system's security posture.

Why model-agnostic matters

Enterprise AI vendors tend to bundle governance, workflow, and model selection together. AIGIS separates those concerns.

The governance layer stays consistent while the customer chooses Claude, GPT, Gemini, Bedrock, or a private model. That gives infrastructure teams room to negotiate as model quality, cost, and availability change.

Salesforce is the production proof path. ServiceNow and SAP are design-partner co-development paths with asymmetric enforcement that must be disclosed in diligence.
