the question is "Is SAP aware of this integration?". have you guys spoken with them?
Hmmm it seems SAP is working on their own blockchain as a service.

How does SophiaTX differ compared to the service SAP wants to roll out?
I would also like to know that. SAP is a very big company, they have huge client base. How will SophiaTX compete with that?
It is a very big company so it definitely has resources to monitor the market and there was also an article on SAP Africa website so we are sure they know about us. But we haven't spoken to them officially about anything. We do not compete with them directly since as we mentioned in our Whitepaper:
"The SAP company has introduced a very compelling offering under its SAP Leonardo innovation effort. SAP’s blockchain approach of BaaS20 (Blockchain-as-a-Service) is suitable for large and midsize organizations seeking a rather private and consortium-based setup. Having said that, opening it to wider public participants may prove to be challenging and less trusted by typical blockchain advocates. In our view BaaS is coming short of being truly inclusive of all participants across value chains, does not provide sufficient transparency, and has a tendency to be relatively more expensive."
Thanks for reply!
So if I understood correctly, SophiaTX will provide services for wide range of rather small customers making it easy to access?
There are more differences to Leonardo. First of all - SAP is maybe the most widespread enterprise software but it is definitely not the only one. We are currently focusing mostly on SAP but SophiaTX will also be a platform for Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and many more. Secondly - we are focusing on businesses of all sizes - not just big one but also not just on smaller one. We are also not focusing only on one industry. We want to create a holistic collaboration across industries and value chains.
