SAP已同意收购比利时公司TechWolf。这家公司开发的人工智能技术能够分析企业员工的技能水平及日常工作情况。两家公司今日宣布了这一交易，但未透露具体条款。
SAP has agreed to buy TechWolf, a Belgian company whose AI maps the skills and daily work of a firm’s employees. The two companies announced the deal today but did not disclose its terms.
该收购案预计将于2026年第四季度完成，尚需获得监管机构的批准。在此之前，两家公司仍将各自独立运营。
The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approval. Until then, the two companies will continue to operate separately.
总部位于根特的TechWolf利用企业现有的人力资源系统及业务系统，持续构建并更新其员工队伍模型。该模型涵盖三个层面：各岗位的具体任务、员工所具备并实际运用的技能，以及外部劳动力市场的状况。
TechWolf, based in Ghent, builds a continuously updated model of a company’s workforce from the HR and business systems it already uses. The model covers three levels: the tasks within each job, the skills staff hold and apply, and the external labour market.
企业可借助该模型将其现状与自身业务战略相对照，从而决定在哪些领域招聘、培训或调配员工。TechWolf的客户包括汇丰银行、葛兰素史克、爱立信、AMD、PayPal以及Booking.com。
Companies then compare that picture with their business strategy to decide where to hire, retrain or move staff. TechWolf’s customers include HSBC, GSK, Ericsson, AMD, PayPal and Booking.com.
SAP计划将这项技术整合至其人力资源软件SuccessFactors以及人工智能助手Joule之中。
SAP plans to make the technology a central part of SuccessFactors, its HR software, and of Joule, its AI assistant.
SAP自主套件部门总裁兼首席产品官、SAP执行董事会成员马诺吉·斯瓦米纳坦表示：“TechWolf开发的技能与工作情境图谱，为各类关于工作规划、技能发展及人才管理的智能查询提供了极为可靠的底层数据支撑。”
“TechWolf’s proprietary context graph for skills and work provides an excellent grounding layer for agent queries regarding work and skills planning and talent management,” said Manoj Swaminathan, president and chief product officer for SAP Autonomous Suite and member of the Extended Board of SAP SE.
TechWolf首席执行官兼联合创始人安德烈亚斯·德·内夫指出，全球各地的企业都在努力探索人工智能将如何改变其员工队伍结构。“各行各业的企业都在试图弄清楚人工智能将如何重塑工作方式，以及由此带来的员工队伍建设需求，”他说道。
Andreas De Neve, TechWolf’s chief executive and co-founder, said companies everywhere are trying to work out how AI is changing their workforce. “Organizations everywhere are trying to figure out how AI is reshaping work, and what their workforce needs to look like because of it,” said Andreas De Neve, CEO and co-founder of TechWolf.
根据SAP目前的规划，TechWolf将继续作为独立实体运营，由德·内夫负责领导，总部仍设在根特，并在伦敦、纽约及旧金山设有办事处。此外，其平台也将继续向那些并未使用SAP软件的企业开放。
Under SAP’s current plans, TechWolf will stay an independent unit under De Neve in Ghent, with offices in London, New York and San Francisco. Its platform will also remain open to companies that do not use SAP software.
这笔交易延续了这家德国软件集团今年在人工智能领域的收购势头。今年3月，SAP宣布收购数据管理公司Reltio；5月又相继收购了Dremio和Prior Labs，并承诺在四年内向Prior Labs投入超过10亿欧元。
The deal extends a run of AI purchases by the German software group this year. In March, SAP agreed to buy data management company Reltio, and in May it added Dremio and Prior Labs, committing more than €1bn to Prior Labs over four years.
