SAP today said that it has been named a Leader in a worldwide Industrial IOT assessment.
This report recognizes SAP’s strengths, including the commitment to continue embedding the Internet of Things (IoT) into solutions — such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP C/4HANA and SAP Digital Supply Chain — to innovate intelligent technologies for SAP customers. The report also notes that SAP’s focus on enabling business networks is complementary to its IoT strategy.
“With the unprecedented growth in enterprise data and the rise of intelligent technologies such as the IoT, customers have new opportunities for business innovation,” said Elvira Wallis, senior vice president and global head of SAP Leonardo IoT. “SAP’s digital platform and intelligent technologies enable faster time to value by directly integrating SAP business applications with real-time IoT data and opening a broad range of new opportunities for the Intelligent Enterprise. At SAP, we believe best-run businesses are data- and process-driven, and we’re committed to help deliver on this promise.”
