SAP Leonardo – Concept

4th wave of industrial revolution. IoT

Bob Caswell, Senior Product Manager, IoT Smart Connected Business

Internet VS IoT

Internet = product of people, by people, for people, is about people

IoT = Physical world(with ability to sense & interact) seamlessly interact with digital world(using internet). By things, for all(people & things).

IoT already exist since early as 1974 but why its booming now? Due this 3 factors are more feasible compare to yesteryear. Because IoT sensors are increasingly available, affordable and easily scalable even plug & play. And internet connections are reaching out to all corners of the world in rapid speed.

In short IoT changes a standalone machine to a “Connected Good”. Which not only can do its pre-programed task but also gather information for various purpose from basic maintenance of the machine to holistic planning & solution in a given area or industry.

By 2030, 50 Billion devices are expected to be a connected goods. Here comes the SAP to tap into IoT market & give competitive advantage to its existing & new customers by providing a platform to facilitate companies with connected goods to go digital by intelligently connecting people, things and business. WITH SAP LEONARDO.

 

Where SAP Leonardo stands in SAPs overall strategy?

Right in the middle. As how S/4 HANA is being introduce across many portfolio of SAP, the same thing expected for SAP Leonardo.

      hello

      Very nice intro, but i have some questions:

      1 - How SAP Leonardo can be related to SAP Securiy.

      2 - How S/4 HANA can be integrated with SAP Leonardo and how the security concept can be built on the same.

      3 - Could you share some more internet links where we can get more information.

       

      Thanks

      Point 1 & 2. SAP Leonardo cockpit still in SAP lab. once it is officially released, will explore further on security & S/4 HANA compatibility and will share the findings.

       

      Point 3 : Learning path. Some are paid, and some are free from openSAP.
