Leading companies are deploying SAP® Mobile Platform to rapidly develop secure, highly scalable mobile applications for employees and consumers for use on any mobile device.

This industry-leading mobile appli-cation development platform can make your mobile strategy a reality – faster – with pack-aged and custom-developed apps for any device. Transform your business with a single, secure infrastructure that reduces your total cost of ownership (TCO) and leverages exist-ing IT resources.

SAP Mobile Platform simplifies time- consuming tasks, such as security control, data access, and synchronization.

And you can build fully functional apps for feature phones using SMS messaging.
