SAP AG has announced a new series of mobile apps to help people increase efficiency at work, home and leisure.
The announcement was made at SAPPHIRE NOW, which was held this week in Orlando, Florida.
The new SAP mobile apps offer real-time mobile access to several functions, including human resources, sustainability, finance, sales and mobile commerce, while updated versions of existing SAP mobile apps will also be available on more mobile platforms, including Android and RIM BlackBerry.
“SAP is following through on its commitment to deliver innovative, engaging mobile apps for millions of people,” said Sanjay Poonen, president, head of mobile division, SAP.
The new mobile apps include SAP Travel Expense Report, SAP Learning Assistant, SAP Customer Briefing and SAP EHS Safety issue. The mobile commerce portfolio from Sybase 365 forms a significant part of SAP’s mobile platform for powering business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) mobile apps and services, including Sybase 365 Mobile Banking, Sybase 365 Mobile Payments and Sybase 365 Mobile Money.
“With mobile serving as a major part of daily life, it is a top priority for most businesses that seek to simplify daily tasks for employees and their customers,” said Poonen. “SAP is leading the charge for businesses to run better with stunning, easy-to-use mobile apps that can manage and analyse today’s explosion of data – bringing business to people.”
