Neptune Software announces shift: Building the AI-powered enterprise for SAP and beyond

Neptune Software, the low-code platform to build, run and orchestrate AI-powered enterprise applications, has announced its bold new direction focused on clean core SAP modernisation, seamless cloud transformation and enterprise-ready artificial intelligence (AI). With its 2025 roadmap, Neptune is doubling down on simplicity, agility and long-term customer value. 

“Our mission remains the same: empower enterprises to build solutions with greater speed and control,” said Helder Gonçalves, the chief product officer at Neptune Software. “But how we do that is evolving. In the AI era, our role is to help companies adopt, evolve and own AI—on their terms. With guardrails and freedom of choice, we’re giving customers the foundation they need to future-proof their business for SAP and beyond.” 

Maximise ROI. Accelerate business value

Neptune’s strategy is rooted in three pillars: Evolve, Adopt and Simplify. These principles guide every product investment: 

  • Evolve: Continuous platform innovation to stay ahead of SAP changes, AI evolution and multi-cloud needs.
  • Adopt: Accelerate time-to-value through a unified platform that makes innovation accessible to all skill levels.
  • Simplify: Cut through tech complexity with streamlined workflows, unified architecture and embedded governance.

“We’re helping our customers reduce technical debt, increase predictability, and deliver scalable results with less risk,” added Gonçalves. 

Clean core SAP. Cloud on your terms.

With Neptune, customers no longer face the choice between innovation and system stability. Neptune’s dual-deployment model supports both in-stack (SAP ECC or S/4HANA) and side-by-side (cloud-native) development. 

This gives companies the flexibility to: 

  • Preserve SAP investments without duplicating work
  • Build once, deploy everywhere
  • Maintain a clean core while extending processes and modernising interfaces

As SAP customers migrate to RISE or GROW with SAP, Neptune ensures the journey is predictable, secure and scalable. Extensions built on Neptune today can transition to the cloud without rewriting. 

From AI experiments to enterprise outcomes

At the heart of Neptune’s new roadmap is Applied Enterprise AI—a pragmatic framework for embedding AI into every stage of application development and business execution.

From developer co-pilots to intelligent agents for sales, operations, and service, Neptune makes AI work with your systems, not outside them. Enterprises can: 

  • Create goal-oriented AI assistants powered by real enterprise data
  • Use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to automate complex queries
  • Use natural language interfaces to streamline decision-making

All with enterprise guardrails in place—role-based access, data privacy, and full auditability. 

“With Neptune, AI becomes a strategic enabler, not an isolated project,” said Gonçalves. “This is about accelerating innovation without adding risk.” 

One platform. Unified impact.

Neptune’s Digital Core brings B2B and B2C applications onto a shared foundation, with: 

  • Support for custom front-end frameworks like React and Angular
  • Enterprise-grade backend services for authentication, workflow and analytics
  • AI-enabled orchestration from one governance layer

Customers can now build once and scale across devices, channels and use cases—on-prem or in the cloud. 

Future ready. Zero-footprint growth.

Neptune continues to expand its reach across SAP and non-SAP landscapes, helping organisations: 

  • Minimise disruption as they move from ECC to S/4HANA
  • Unify disconnected systems through AI-enabled integration
  • Eliminate rework by reusing existing code, logic and skills

“This isn’t about adding more tools. It’s about giving our customers one platform that adapts to their journey—not the other way around,” said Gonçalves.
