Qubittron
FRIEND OF JOULE · SAP SILVER PARTNER

We augmentSAP Joule.

Joule is SAP's conversational front door. Qubi runs the long-lived, multi-step, cross-system agents Joule cannot run on its own. The two are explicitly collaborative — we extend Joule, we do not replace it.

THE DIVISION OF LABOR

Joule does this. Qubi does this.

Joule and Qubi solve different halves of the same problem. Here is exactly where each one belongs — and where the handoff happens.

JOULE HANDLES

The conversation

  • Conversational UX inside SAP
  • Natural-language Q&A over SAP data
  • Simple SAP actions (create PR, query invoice)
  • Single-turn interactions
  • SAP-approved model governance
  • Built-in SAP role awareness

QUBI HANDLES

The execution

  • Long-running multi-step agents
  • Cross-system orchestration (SAP + non-SAP)
  • SoD-aware execution with GRC integration
  • Complex branching workflows
  • Multi-model reasoning (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral)
  • Full audit trails with configurable approvals

JOINT USE CASES

How Joule and Qubi work together in production

Three patterns we see on every enterprise SAP landscape where both platforms are deployed.

MANUFACTURING

Production exceptions, multi-plant rebalance

A planner asks Joule “What are today’s production exceptions?” → Joule hands off to Qubi → Qubi pulls MRP exceptions, cross-checks against live orders in S/4HANA, and triggers a multi-plant rebalance workflow → Result returned through Joule to the planner.

RETAIL · GRC

Continuous SoD analysis across thousands of users

A GRC analyst asks Joule “Show me SoD conflicts from the last 24 hours” → Joule hands off to Qubi → Qubi runs continuous SoD analysis across thousands of users, flags violations, and routes remediation requests to the relevant managers → Joule summarizes the result.

FINANCIAL CLOSE

47-step close across SAP and non-SAP systems

A controller asks Joule “Close the month for North America” → Joule hands off to Qubi → Qubi runs the 47-step close checklist across SAP and non-SAP systems, coordinating reconciliations and approvals → Joule reports the close status back.

HOW IT PLUGS IN

Where Qubi sits alongside Joule

Qubi is invoked by Joule via webhook or API when a user intent requires long-running, multi-system, or complex execution. Qubi runs self-hosted in your infrastructure, on SAP Business Technology Platform, or as SaaS hosted in Canada — all three deployment modes work alongside Joule. Your team chooses where the execution engine lives.

JOULE'S SCOPE (AND WHERE QUBI PICKS UP)

Where Joule hands off

Joule is tightly scoped by design. These are the facts about what Joule is built for — and where Qubi picks up the work.

  • Agents that run for hours or days

    Joule is optimized for single-turn conversations; Qubi runs long-lived agents with state persistence.

  • Orchestration across systems outside SAP

    Joule stays inside the SAP boundary; Qubi reaches into ServiceNow, Salesforce, custom APIs, and legacy systems.

  • Custom SoD rule enforcement beyond SAP's native GRC

    Joule respects SAP's access model; Qubi layers in customer-specific SoD rule sets and continuous monitoring.

  • Multi-model reasoning

    Joule is tied to SAP-approved models; Qubi can route to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Mistral based on task complexity.

FAQ

Questions we hear about Joule

If yours isn't here, book a call and we'll answer it live.

No. Qubittron is an SAP Silver Partner authorized under SAP PartnerEdge for Sell and Service. We explicitly position Qubi as Joule's augmentor — we extend Joule's reach, we do not replace it. Joule is the right tool for conversational SAP interactions. Qubi is the right tool when you need long-running, multi-step, or cross-system agents.
No. Qubi works standalone across your SAP landscape whether or not Joule is deployed. The two are most powerful together, but each is useful on its own. Many of our customers start with Qubi and add Joule later, or start with Joule and add Qubi when they hit the long-running-agent ceiling.
Yes. Joule invokes Qubi via webhook or API when a user intent requires execution that Joule is not designed to handle — long-lived workflows, cross-system orchestration, or complex branching. The handoff is seamless from the user's perspective: they ask Joule, Joule routes to Qubi, Qubi executes and returns the result through Joule.
Yes. The Joule+Qubi pattern works with S/4HANA Cloud, S/4HANA on-premise, ECC, Business One, and SuccessFactors. Qubi is the bridge that handles execution against whichever SAP products your landscape includes — including hybrid landscapes that span multiple SAP product lines.
Yes. Qubittron is an SAP Silver Partner authorized under SAP PartnerEdge for Sell and Service. We co-sell with SAP account teams on SAP Cloud ERP opportunities. Joule is not a competitor to Qubi; it is a collaborator, and our partnership positioning reflects that.
Co-sell. On SAP-led opportunities, SAP account teams are typically the primary commercial relationship; Qubittron is the product and delivery partner. On Qubi-led opportunities, Qubittron owns the commercial relationship and brings SAP in as a partner when appropriate. The model is flexible and depends on how the opportunity originates.
No. SAP Build is SAP's low-code workflow tool for business users inside SAP. Qubi is an AI agent platform for IT teams running multi-step, cross-system, and multi-model workflows. The two solve different problems and can coexist — SAP Build for SAP-only process automation, Qubi for complex AI-driven execution spanning SAP and the rest of the enterprise stack.
