One of the highlight of SAP CONNECT 2019 was again the Hackathon. SAP CONNECT is SAP’s annual summit for partners in Austria, Germany and Switzerland with more than 1500 participants from 500 partner companies which makes it the second largest partner event globally behind the SAP Global Partner Summit. 

The requirements set for the teams to participate where the following: 

Teams of 3 to 5 members with expert knowledge in native Apple IOS or Android development, good understanding of APIs (ODATA and REST). 

Most of the teams did not have any knowledge of the SAP Cloud Platform before the event! 

All teams were presented with a Challenge provided by Frosta to improve the interaction between the salesperson for frozen food and the customer. To build this solution the teams developed a mobile solution on top of the SAP Cloud Platform and leveraged the SAP Data Intelligence to make intelligent predictions.  

After three hours of Accelerated Design Thinking process the teams got a single hour of knowledge transfer on the Technical topics like the SAP Cloud Platform Mobile SDKs and SAP Data Intelligence. This enabled the teams to get started on their adventure. 

Within 23 hours the teams build working solutions with the support and guidance of technical experts from SAP.  

All results where impressive. Each team built 

  • a backend as Service in the cloud with the SAP Cloud Platform OData Backend Generator 



  • they leveraged SAP Data Intelligence
