About
Nova Intelligence is a San Francisco-based agentic AI platform for SAP custom code modernization and S/4HANA transformation 12. The company’s platform analyzes, modernizes, and generates the custom code that runs payroll, supply chains, and finance functions inside Fortune 500 SAP environments, capitalizing on SAP’s mandatory deadline for customers to migrate to S/4HANA by 2030 — an opportunity analysts estimate at over $89 billion 1. An April 2025 case study with Kyndryl reported a 75% reduction in manual effort and a 50% cost reduction in modernizing a customer’s SAP platform 1.
Nova Intelligence was co-founded by Emma Qian (CEO, formerly Google DeepMind and Meta AI), Sam Yang, and Professor Alexander Zeier (a co-inventor of SAP HANA) 12.
