Abstract

In the digital transformation era, organizations are increasingly adopting intelligent cloud-based solutions to modernize their enterprise systems for improved agility, performance, and resilience. This paper presents a Smart Cloud Modernization Approach that leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance financial optimization and risk mitigation within SAP environments. The proposed framework integrates AI-driven analytics with cloud infrastructure to automate financial forecasting, detect anomalies, and optimize resource utilization. By modernizing legacy SAP financial modules onto a cloud-native platform, the system enables real-time data processing, predictive risk assessment, and proactive decision-making. The AI layer employs machine learning algorithms to identify financial irregularities, assess credit and operational risks, and support compliance assurance. Furthermore, cloud-based scalability ensures seamless integration, high availability, and cost efficiency. The results demonstrate that this hybrid AI-cloud modernization strategy significantly improves financial transparency, operational efficiency, and risk control in enterprise SAP systems.
