As Lenovo and IBM’s x86-based server business came together in 2014, Lenovo was very clear that they would heavily partner for software solutions and engineered systems. In January, Lenovo announced a new, multifaceted partnership with German enterprise software company SAP on the heels of announcements with Nutanix and Red Hat. The overall goal of the SAP partnership, per Lenovo, is to strengthen joint execution and enable customers to hop on board the “growing digital economy” based on trends such as mobility, security, big data, hyper-connectivity and, of course, the cloud. Makes sense. Before the deal, Lenovo was a tech partner of SAP, but that was limited to HANA and they did nothing internally together. This new, strengthened alliance is a good move for Lenovo, and I believe it will also probably benefit SAP, particularly in China.
