Sybase and SAP now have a partnership that is centered around co-innovation that will change how mobile users access critical business information anytime, anywhere while increasing productivity to mobile workers . Sybase and SAP co-innovated and collaborated to deliver the new SAP® Business Suite software for the first time to iPhone, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and other mobile devices by integrating it with Sybase’s industry-leading mobile enterprise application platform. SAP and Sybase share a common vision to provide businesses easy access to valuable information contained within enterprise applications through tight integration with a wide range of mobile device environments.
In today’s tight economy sales managers like Graham Burroughs need to maximize their efficiency when working from outside the office. For Graham, however, the limitations of mobile technology are often frustrating. Now more than ever, business people need their phones to have the same tools as they have at their desks for handling critical tasks and decision making. Sybase, a company focused on mobilizing information, and software maker SAP, have partnered to bring this ability to the mobile workforce.
Especially, in this time of economic crisis, it is extremely important that decision makers, that business users are able to make the right decisions based on the right information right now. You cannot wait. You cannot wait to get back to your desk, to approve an exception, to look at a scorecard or a dashboard, something that, some business event that is critical to your business.
Through this partnership SAP will deliver the business applications and Sybase will provide the mobile infrastructure.
The combination of that will allow in excess of forty million SAP users out there to be able to deliver and communicate with each other not only through the back end but through devices and point to point devices or any devices like mobile phones, anything with an IP address. So its truly a kind of an enterprise on the move.
SAP Sybase mobility solutions will revolutionize how enterprise workers leverage mobility. For instance, if an executive is at the customer site and gets an urgent sales approval request on his iphone, he can directly access SAP business process applications to get the necessary insight to approve, or reject, this discount request immediately.
What this means is my salesmen are empowered to do complex deals in a much more timely fashion.
This will dramatically change the game for mobile professionals. Business teams are on the road all the time. Approval requests can be sent directly from their mobile and those requests can be processed anywhere, anytime and on any device.
This will dramatically improve the productivity and responsiveness of my team.
John Chen of Sybase believes the distinction between being in the office or out of the office is quickly becoming less significant.
There’s mobile worlds, theres non-mobile. It is probably a transitionary period in our industry. Going forward, nobody will care. They expect to pick up anything, get the same interface through the same applications. And they expect the applications to talk to each other with the same type of interfaces. So the future of mobility really is about anywhere, anytime, anyplace and with the same interfaces.
Bechelle Sieka already sees a wide spectrum of things SAP and Sybase will make mobile.
All of the way from simple activities like work for approvals, looking at your event and your costs and so on, all of them depend on critical applications that can only be done in a mobile environment. So, I see that entire spectrum of coverage happening. Mobile is not just about email anymore or about taking pictures and listening to songs. It is really about conducting business.
With the SAP Sybase solution, Graham and other mobile users will be able to conduct critical business right from their phones. This will bring the power of the desktop right to the palms of their hands.
