This week at SAPPHIRE NOW in Orlando the focus was on SAP Leonardo, an “innovation services platform” that offers advanced services in the areas of IoT, machine learning, big data analytics and blockchain. It’s an ambitious project that builds on SAP Cloud by adding business services designed to help companies embrace IoT at scale and modernize their traditional workloads while transitioning to the cloud.
In addition, SAP has started layering vertical projects on top of Leonardo, such as SAP Connected Goods for retailers and SAP Vehicle Insights for firms managing fleets of connected “planes, trains and automobiles.” It’s all a logical path forward for a company with such deep industry expertise and customer relationships.
These applications are all layered above a set of core PaaS services within the SAP Cloud Platform, including SAP Enterprise Messaging. As we have previously announced, Solace is the messaging foundation of that service, at the core of all these high-volume real time data streams. We’re very proud to be part of this game changing solution!
