Apple CEO Tim Cook touts enterprise augmented reality as Apple, SAP further integrate
Apple CEO Tim Cook touted use of augmented reality in manufacturing, retail and other industries as part of an expanded partnership with SAP.
"AR and ML will be key to delivering the right information to the right person at the right time," said Cook.
Cook took the stage with SAP CEO Bill McDermott at SAP Sapphire. The companies are integrating Apple's Core ML, an on-device machine learning technology, with its SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS.
In addition, SAP said will also support the Mac platform. Here's the breakdown:
- The next version of SAP Cloud Platform SDK, available later this month will enable businesses to create iOS apps powered by SAP Leonardo.
- Machine learning models can be downloaded to iPhone and iPad to run offline.
- SAP's mobile apps for SuccessFactors, Concur and SAP Asset Manager run natively on iOS. SAP said that it will expand its native iOS approach to its broader portfolio starting with Ariba.
- SAP will also expand its app offerings to the Mac to run natively.
