Mentat Leverages Algorand for SAP Connector, Paving the Way for Enterprise Blockchain Integration, Receives Foundation Grant Award.

Mentat Innovations, a leading artificial intelligence and blockchain solutions provider to global enterprises, today announced that it will develop an open source SAP connector and Enablement API to the Algorand blockchain.

Mentat has chosen Algorand as their preferred blockchain platform due to the global scale, speed and security enabled by the Algorand protocol and by the flexibility provided by Algorand Smart Contract (ASC1) and Algorand Standard Asset functionality. The combination of scale and flexibility is critical in supporting Enterprise adoption across a very wide range of use cases.

Mentat’s customers are governments and large enterprises globally that are actively looking for the latest technology innovations that can provide immediate competitive advantage. To date, early blockchain platforms have lacked the speed, scale and transactional cost efficiency to be immediately useful in enterprise settings. With this new offering between Mentat and Algorand, any enterprise within the SAP platform ecosystem will be able to integrate and interoperate with Algorand’s blockchain seamlessly.
