​SAP Leonardo is a collection of software and services that organizations can use to develop digital transformation applications.

Originally introducing it as a brand for its IoT applications, SAP brought other next-generation technologies like machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, advanced analytics, 3D printing, and blockchain under the SAP Leonardo name. The rebranding was a result of SAP finding that most customers' digital transformation projects involved more technologies than IoT, according to SAP.

Hasso Plattner, SAP's co-founder and chairman of the supervisory board, referred to Leonardo as a "bounding box," a mathematical term for a metaphorical box that defines the physical shape of a group of objects.

SAP Leonardo as a digital innovation system: SAP also calls Leonardo a "digital innovation system" or "system of innovation" that compliments the vendor's traditional system of record for transactional data. The key to the digital innovation system is not just the technologies, but the design thinking methodologies that help users uncover all of the requirements for the digital transformation project and allow them to build applications that maximize the ROI of the project.

SAP claims that Leonardo is more than a bundle of technologies and instead is an integrated system of software and services, with SAP Cloud Platform forming the PaaS infrastructure foundation for Leonardo technologies.  According to SAP, this blending of technologies with design thinking methodologies differentiates SAP Leonardo from competing offerings like IBM Watson.
