Sybase India and Wipro Infotech announced a partnership to extend SAP applications to a variety of mobile devices. With these solutions, SAP customers will be able to securely access their business-critical enterprise applications while on the move.
Sybase and SAP will jointly deliver co-developed solutions for extending SAP CRM and SAP Business Suite to mobile devices. SAP customers will now be able to leverage Wipro's SAP implementation skills to customize these Sybase Mobile Solutions for SAP, in addition to developing custom mobile applications for other SAP modules such as SRM SCM and PLM. These will help in areas like mobile services, mobile sales, time and travel approvals, workflows, warehouse management, asset management, etc.
Wipro's solutions will be based on Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP), a mobile enterprise application platform that provides systems integrators, independent software vendors, and enterprise developers with the ability to easily develop, deploy and manage mobile applications.
Sunil Jose, Managing Director, Sybase Software India, said, "The Sybase and Wipro partnership will offer Wipro's SAP customers, applications on the go. SUP supports a wide variety of popular mobile platforms. This enables true mobility for a large section of employees and not just top or middle management. Through this, SAP's customers will be able to create an information edge by optimizing and enhancing the infrastructure they already own, linking valuable data resources in place, and securely delivering information anytime, anywhere."
As part of this joint initiative, Wipro will set up a Center of Excellence (CoE) at its research Center, Sangam, in Bengaluru, where customers will be able to experience the various mobile applications developed by Wipro to mobilize SAP. This CoE will also be used to develop newer industry frameworks that can be used across different customer verticals. |
