Blockchain - A hard piece of work

The use of blockchain technology outside the financial sector is also gaining momentum. But there is still a lot of homework to do.

In order to meet the current challenge, it is necessary to bundle competencies and resources in order to develop solutions for the various industries and standard customer situations.

SAP understood this and launched a "Blockchain and IoT Co-Innovation Program" for customers and SAP partners in 2017. This enables them to identify, learn about, and implement applications that capture various events in a blockchain - from product design and development to manufacturing, logistics, and product tracking.

Participants of the program can contribute their specific requirements and thus have an influence on the project and the solutions. Camelot ITLab supports the SAP initiative with many field-tested use cases such as sensor-driven track & trace, patient data management or transport marketplace.

The partnership between SAP and Camelot, which has lasted for more than two decades, continues with the megatrend Blockchain. Camelot relies on SAP as a platform partner for the development of blockchain customer solutions.

SAP's competencies in cloud platform services and enterprise-wide support concepts are important for successful innovation projects because they create a secure environment for customers experimenting with blockchain.

Hyperledger Fabric and Multichain

SAP's Cloud Platform blockchain service is currently in an early release stage, but is expected to be available to all customers as a product in the second half of 2018, supporting Hyperledger Fabric and Multichain blockchain technologies.

The SAP Leonardo BaaS service (Blockchain as a Service) will find its way into the solution landscapes of large customers. Its core technologies are also part of the Camelot Hypertrust Platform, which can be used to develop and evaluate targeted blockchain applications.

Andreas Göbel, Head of Center of Digital Innovation at Camelot, comments:

"The technology field we are talking about here is very volatile and in many areas has yet to be tapped. SAP and Camelot are learning every day in joint customer projects:

  • To what extent do blockchains fit specific use cases?
  • What is the most efficient way to integrate the decentralized concept into existing business processes?
  • Which services can be used to get all the required participants into a common network?
  • These are the questions we face every day, often working shoulder-to-shoulder with SAP."

Real customer requirements play an important role in the further development of the Camelot Hypertrust Platform. The roadmap therefore includes functions directly requested by customers, such as the integration of blockchains with existing enterprise authentication concepts or the smooth integration of existing databases as "off-chain storage".

On the other hand, Camelot's blockchain experts always look beyond their own nose. They analyze market trends and new approaches in the field of blockchain in order to be able to support them within the Hypertrust Platform tomorrow, if necessary.
