With dozens of industry awards and recognitions, each of these areas of SAP’s portfolio can add tremendous value for our customers on their digital journey…but the real power is when they all work together.”
By using SAP Leonardo, customers can innovate more rapidly and scale that innovation, embedding it into all of their applications and business processes. SAP will bring our expertise in design thinking services to help customers solve the complex problems of becoming digital through SAP Leonardo Innovation Services – aligned to specific use cases, by industry.

Everything will come at a predefined price and our engagement is time-bound, so every customer has an accelerated time-to-value.”
