Sybase Software (India) and Wipro Infotech have announced a
partnership to extend SAP applications to a variety of mobile
device types. The companies say that with these solutions, SAP
customers will be able to securely access their business-critical
enterprise applications while on the move.
Sybase and SAP are jointly delivering 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, PLM, etc. that will be directed towards
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, MD, India & Sub-continent, 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."
Commenting on the partnership, Sairaman Jagannathan, VP, Business
Solutions Division,Wipro said, "As Sybase's implementation partner,
we will bring in tight integration with a wide range of mobile
environments to ensure secure and real-time access to
information."
As part of this joint initiative, Wipro will set up a Center
of Excellence at its research Center, Sangam, in Bangalore, where
customers will be able to experience the various mobile
applications developed by Wipro to mobilize SAP. This Centre of
Excellence will also be used to develop newer industry frameworks
that can be used across different customer verticals.
