from telco hardware providers, and
device strategy from device manufactur-
ers. As we said, it really is the great and
the good of the 5G universe. Or as Wilde
puts it, “Distinct organizations that can
look left, look right, and really see where
their value proposition fits across the
entire value chain.”
SAP launched the 5G Council in June
of 2018, and the members get together
around twice a year. The agenda is how
to affect change and drive innovation.
Wilde says it is important for SAP to be
seen as leading this charge.“We’ve got 440,000 customers,”
he says. “So for us to move the needle,
to move beyond our core, our legacy,
we see that we have an exciting oppor-
tunity to help our customers innovate
in terms of how they operate their
business, as well as how they engage
with their consumers or their custom-
ers moving forward.”
“So whether it’s in retail or manu-
facturing or healthcare, we are
uniquely positioned because SAP’s
strength is serving as that core
within the organization.”SAP 5G | Frank Wilde | 5G
