Through the blog series, we will be regularly updating our views on the new technology, the innovation Capgemini are bringing to the market with SAP Leonardo and specific success stories. This blog, the first blog in the series, will give you an introduction to SAP Leonardo and its components, as well as Capgemini’s partnership with SAP and other vendors and our approach in delivering Leonardo solutions.

SAP Leonardo is the digital innovation system integrating breakthrough technologies and running seamlessly in the cloud. It offers design thinking methodology together with SAP expertise to help businesses rapidly adopt new capabilities and business models – an accelerator for digital transformation.

It is SAP’s vision of the digital future. It gets its name from Leonardo Da Vinci who was, without a doubt, an innovator, someone way ahead of his time. In the same way SAP Leonardo carries instant, universal recognition – both as a name and as a figure known for innovation in a ground-breaking era of science and discovery. What name could be more appropriate?

These targeted solutions and accelerators are built on technology platform consisting of SAP Cloud Platform (PaaS infrastructure offering various technologies), SAP Leonardo (Business and technical services to rapidly build re-usable applications), Edge computing (for data ingestion at edge applications)

SAP and Capgemini have come together with a joint group level initiative called “Fast Digital 4 Discrete Industries (FD4DI)” . FD4DI is designed to help clients in the discrete manufacturing industries to improve their company using SAP Leonardo based solutions. Capgemini and SAP are investing in the creation of a series of offers and go-to-market positions that target specifically the discrete manufacturing industries, including aerospace & defence, automotive, high tech, consumer products, and industrial machinery & components. This includes business led digital transformation use cases underpinned by the latest Capgemini and SAP technology, which can be rapidly deployed.
