Earlier this week in Frankfurt, Germany, SAP announced Leonardo, a game-changing innovation system and Internet of Things (IoT) platform to help its customers move up the maturity curve for digital transformation.

While it’s not new for SAP to be working alongside partner ecosystems to provide customised solutions, Leonardo provides endless opportunities in the digital space.

SAP has launched three new Leonardo Innovation Services to help businesses connect new technologies to real-world use-case scenarios. From IoT to machine learning, analytics, design thinking, blockchain and data intelligence, Leonardo’s aim is to help customers manage their digital transformation with ease.

What’s more is that Leonardo is open – customers can combine the tools and technology they require, and then add the expertise of business and IT professionals from SAP to kick-start a personalised innovation journey.

“Customers have access to key experts, including designers, business transformation specialists, industry experts and technology consultants. An innovation coach serves as a guide and resource for using the tools.”

With the world becoming increasingly digital, businesses are at a crossroads.  SAP Leonardo Innovation Services provide customers with a safe way to experiment and implement new technologies and find the best fit for their business before making an investment in new technology.

“Don’t wait to innovate,” exclaimed Dr. Tanja Rueckert, president, IoT and Digital Supply Chain at SAP. “IoT provides endless opportunities, but it’s like crude oil – it has to be refined and connected to get value.”
