"If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it." - Margaret Fuller
Organizations across all industries are pursuing innovation in ways we haven’t seen before – and we sometimes don’t to recognize the great efforts being done to help the world run better. That’s why SAP wants you to share your #SAPInnovation story by entering the 2019 SAP Innovation Awards.
The Innovation Award is an opportunity for #TheBestRun customers and partners to showcase how they are driving innovation, making their organizations more intelligent and utilizing technology to make a difference. This year customers and partners using any SAP product or technology to drive innovation are eligible to submit a nomination. Winners will be showcased at SAP’s SAPPHIRENOW conference and will benefit from promotional opportunities with SAP. Finally, up to $25,000 in charity donations will be awarded—just for submitting! Take a look at this blog for more details on the program timeline and prizes.
There are chances to win across several categories, one of them being the Industry Disruptor. The winner for Industry Disruptor will exemplify how an organization has used innovation to disrupt the way the industry has traditionally conducted operations.
The winner of the Industry Disruptor award will receive:
- Special recognition for your organization and team
- Exposure in select external communications and content
- Exclusive opportunities to showcase your success with colleagues and key SAP executives at SAPPHIRENOW in Orlando and beyond
Here are examples of the past award winners that are driving business value from unique approaches in their industry:

- Use Case: How is the entrant using SAP technology to add value?
- Outcome: What business or social outcomes have resulted from the project?
