      Is this is the same as "CO-PILOT" just with a different name, or do SAP have two different teams working full time on different solutions to the exact same problem?

      I reckon it is the second one - CO-PILOT was developed in house, TISA comes from the acquired company.

      Moreover, based on my experience with SAP I would not be shocked if there was a third team in Walldorf, unknown to both the CO-PILOT team and the TISA team, also working on a digital assistant project.

      TISA is a part of TCS’ Intelligent Enterprise powered by MFDMTM (Machine First Delivery Model). TISA is IP based solution, built by TCS team to give business user power of AI & help them to do business transaction with natural conversation.

      TISA can able to connect not only SAP systems but Non-SAP systems (...like ITSM, DMS etc. ) as well. Ideally, any system that have APIs available to consume publicly, it can be integrated to TISA and use case can be implemented accordingly.

      TISA will handle IT operations touch-less and by doing so will free up resources to focus on business innovation. It will create “X layer” (Experience) over “O layer” (System of Record) for business & IT operations.

      So this is not an SAP product but a third party product which is in competition with SAP.

      That also means the blog post is not a blog post as such, but a sales pitch / advert, and thus the SAP Community website is probably not the best place for it. We have enough difficulty stopping SAP marketing publishing sales pitches disguised as blogs, the last thing we need is the whole SAP ecosystem doing so as well...
