Note: Since posting this, SAP Leonardo has been expanded to cover additional future-facing technologies, such as, machine learning, blockchain, analytics, artificial intelligence, and Big Data. Please read an updated SAP Leonardo overview here or visit www.sap.com/leonardo more details.
Business and IT leaders across industries are constantly searching for new and innovative ways to service and delight customers.
Succeeding in this environment requires:
For organizations to achieve these goals, they must embrace the latest technologies to identify new business processes and innovate new business models.
The massive number of connected things and the explosion of data generated by connected Internet of Things-enabled devices will change the way we create these new business models.
With the emergence of smart products, assets, and always-on “things,” we now have access to unparalleled amounts of information. This – along with the evolution of connectivity, big data, analytics, and cloud technology – is enabling us to converge these operational and information technologies to make machines smarter and drive end-to-end digital transformation.
As Ronald van Loon (@Ronald_vanLoon), an expert in the IoT space recently stated, “the Internet of Things is no longer approaching, it is already here. From wearables to trains, they are all connected and capable of delivering new insights on how we interact with machines.”
The journey a company takes to get from “things” to “outcomes” is becoming a chief catalyst for digitalization.
What is SAP Leonardo?
The SAP Leonardo portfolio empowers Live Business by connecting the emerging world of intelligent devices with people and processes to achieve tangible business outcomes.
The solutions enable companies to not only realize the digital transformation of existing end-to-end business processes but also evolve new business models to run digitally and create new work environments.

These end-to-end solutions are built on a technology foundation that enables SAP, our customers, and our partners to build Internet of Things solutions of a consistent framework:
Jump-start your SAP Leonardo initiative
SAP Leonardo will create massive business value by connecting “things” to interact directly with business processes. As a result, business processes will become transparent, real time, and proactive, enabling people to operate and manage on a new level with augmented intelligence and autonomous systems.
SAP will also introduce the SAP Leonardo jump-start program, a pre-packaged, consultative offering to help customers prioritize innovation opportunities and deliver competitive advantage with an Internet of Things-enabled digital transformation.
To help customers realize this opportunity, SAP will introduce SAP IOT labs around the globe. Here, customers can collaborate with SAP development and consulting experts to start their innovation journeys based on the SAP Leonardo innovation portfolio. SAP IOT labs will open in Palo Alto (USA), Paris (France), Shanghai (China), São Leopoldo (Brazil), Johannesburg (South Africa), as well as Berlin and Munich (Germany).

Business and IT leaders across industries are constantly searching for new and innovative ways to service and delight customers.
Succeeding in this environment requires:
- A customer-centric view that focuses on the customer experience through the full engagement cycle
- A distributed manufacturing process that leverages technologies such as automation, 3D printing, and robotics to address the “segment of one”
- A networked economy of assets, manufacturing, logistics, partners, and, of course, people
- A recognition of urbanization as a reality that requires smarter cities, smarter infrastructures, and smarter usage of natural resources
For organizations to achieve these goals, they must embrace the latest technologies to identify new business processes and innovate new business models.
