Introduction

The SAP Internet of Things (IoT) Application Enablement services is a collection of microservices, apps, and UI
templates that enables you to build IoT application. It helps to set up a thing model, along with companies and
service personnel in a company and their relationships. The solution is available on SAP Cloud Platform (SCP)
Cloud Foundry (CF), and it falls into the category of a "platform as a service" (PaaS). You can use the solution to
build IoT applications, which collect and transform the massive live data from sensor-equipped "things" into new
values for business outcomes.
