None of this is theoretical. In our Accenture Technology Vision for SAP Solutions 2018 we show how new SAP technologies, embedded into an organization’s end—to—end processes, can be used to infuse the DNA of an intelligent enterprise, enable new business models and service paradigms, and improve business performance—all through agile, adaptive processes.
The five technology trends we highlight are already proving to be powerful disruptors, reinventing marketplaces and even industries overnight. And together, Accenture and SAP are helping our clients to harness them—and in doing so, introduce continuous disruption as a force for breakthrough competitive advantage.
"Spanning big data, AI, analytics, AR/VR, blockchain, IoT and data intelligence, the applications we’ve developed with new SAP technologies are incredibly diverse. But they’re all focused on a single goal: driving end-to-end intelligent enterprise transformation."
– JORDI ROCA, Managing Director – Accenture Technology

Data veracity
Data is the lifeblood of the intelligent enterprise. But by transforming themselves to run on data, businesses risk creating a new kind of vulnerability: inaccurate, manipulated or biased data that leads to corrupted business insights and skewed decisions.
Our data-driven applications using SAP Cloud Platform, SAP Leonardo machine learning, SAP Leonardo IoT and SAP Advanced & Predictive Analytics generate new value for our clients. Examples include:
