“21^st cen­tu­ry best prac­tices haven’t been defined. Get ready to build strate­gic soft­ware in-house,” ​“Enter­pris­es will build more soft­ware in the next 10 years than they have in the last 30” Con­stel­la­tion research – ​“By 2020, 75% of Appli­ca­tion Pur­chas­es Sup­port­ing Dig­i­tal Busi­ness will be ​“Build,” Not ​“Buy” ”  Gart­ner — ​“73% of CEOs see the next 3 years as more crit­i­cal than the past 50 for their indus­tries, as the pace of adop­tion has gone from 10 years to as lit­tle as a week” – SAP cus­tomer sur­vey Tra­di­tion­al­ly new inno­va­tions for stan­dard ERP appli­ca­tions have been deliv­ered with add-ons, indus­try spe­cif­ic solu­tions, enhance­ment packs and new releas­es, and SAP still ships reg­u­lar updates and enhance­ments to cus­tomers. With S/4HANA and SAP Leonar­do, SAP has ful­ly embraced the mode 2 IT oper­a­tions includ­ing DevOps in their enter­prise appli­ca­tion devel­op­ment and pro­vi­sion­ing, which requires major changes to tra­di­tion­al mono­lith­ic enter­prise archi­tec­ture con­cepts. While S/4HANA pro­vides the sta­ble dig­i­tal core based on new stream­lined data mod­els over­com­ing the inher­ent con­straints of last cen­tu­ry rela­tion­al data­bas­es, SAP Leonar­do pro­vides an inno­va­tion sys­tem with appli­ca­tions and devel­op­ment tools based on open stan­dards like Google’s Ten­sor­flow to enable SAP cus­tomers to take full advan­tage of Machine Learn­ing, Blockchain and IoT capa­bil­i­ties using open API’s.

This web­cast deliv­ers a big pic­ture overview in the con­text of exist­ing SAP enter­prise archi­tec­tures and real-live SAP Leonar­do cus­tomer exam­ples like 3D-print­ing as inte­gral part of new man­u­fac­tur­ing and sup­ply chain process­es which define a dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing fac­tor in the new real­i­ty of busi­ness process automa­tion and dig­i­tal transformation.
