- To deliver on SAP’s vision of an intelligent enterprise that runs on generating intelligent insights, there are three components: Intelligent Suite, Digital Platform and Intelligent Technologies.
- Intelligent suite – SAP offers clients a set of intelligent applications that enables a business to automate its day-to-day activities. This creates opportunities for better interaction with customers, suppliers, and employees.
- Digital Platform –Data can be gathered and connected through the SAP Cloud Platform and HANA Data Management Suite, which also make it possible for processes within the intelligent suite to be integrated and expanded.
- Intelligent Technologies – Here, all the emerging technologies under SAP Leonardo enters the picture. SAP Leonardo supports the intelligent enterprise with intelligent technologies to drive better outcomes. In short, it functions as a virtual cycle. When business operations are carried out using the intelligent suite, data is produced. This data is used to build intelligence, which may then be included into business procedures. In the digital platform, all of the data from corporate processes is merged with external data, allowing intelligent technologies to be used to obtain far superior insights. The intelligent suite can be updated with fresh insights to enhance decision-making and automate processes.
