Are you an Industry Innovator? Tell Your #SAPInnovation Story!

SAP’s customers are innovating faster than the speed of disruption; and we’d like to take the time to recognize and reward you for your achievements! Now in its sixth year — the SAP Innovation Awards 2019 serve to discover and showcase the amazing innovations our customers are achieving using SAP products and technologies. Are you on your way to becoming an Intelligent Enterprise by doing more with less, delivering best-in-class customer experience, or inventing new business models and revenue streams — we want to hear from you!

Entering is easy! The Awards are open to customers and partners using any SAP product or technology to drive innovation. Participants are encouraged to emphasize new ways of thinking, disruptive use cases, and the deployment of emerging technologies to empower employees and help them do more meaningful work; all of which are prevalent in the path towards intelligence.

Have you established a new business model, redefined customer experience, transformed critical business processes, or overcame traditional barriers of industry constraints? If so — I highly encourage you to consider giving special focus to the industry disruptor award: won by the entry that best demonstrates the use of SAP products to drive radical change in an industry.

Judges will review the finalists and score each entry based on a set of specific criteria. The judging criteria include:

• Use Case: How is the entrant using SAP technology / products to add value?
• Outcome: What business or social outcomes have resulted from the project?
• Value: What business or social value has been realized?
• Human Empowerment: How does the project impact the lives of individuals either inside or outside the organization?
• Intelligent Enterprise: How is the company applying technology and innovative approaches to progress toward an Intelligent Enterprise?

Just by submitting, you get SAP $100 closer to our target of $25,000 donated to charity; each submission counts! Most importantly get your story published and showcased on the awards website and promoted on social channels. Winners will be showcased at SAPPHIRE NOW and will benefit from promotional opportunities with SAP.
