Verizon and SAP are partnering to create enterprise solutions that leverage Verizon private and public networks and edge computing with SAP analytics, solutions and edge services. This partnership aims to help drive business agility and unleash new business models by leveraging transformative technologies like 5G, edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Together, we are supporting innovation and transformation efforts, revolutionizing factory floors and distribution warehouses, while ushering in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. 

Businesses need to harness the power of cloud computing for more and more of their front- and back-office applications to increase agility and versatility. Yet the complexity of integrating on-premises and cloud infrastructures while still meeting increasing security, compliance and auditing requirements can be daunting. Today’s networks play a key role in enabling successful cloud migrations, but unresolved network challenges can cause significant delays. 

Verizon and SAP can help. As you consider adopting a cloud platform, we can help simplify and accelerate your cloud migration through a suite of professional networking services, including network assessments, network design and network implementations, as well as managed network and security services.

Industry 4.0 will radically change production across discrete and process industries. Production equipment will become highly autonomous. The way humans work in production will change, with workers getting tailored information and decision support from smart devices. The production software stack will see a shift from transactional production execution to data-driven business process execution and optimization. Sensors, devices, machines, and systems will be increasingly interconnected. 

Together Verizon, SAP and our combined ecosystem will help usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, enabling massive steps forward in leveraging connected devices and automation.
