Hey Matt - Thanks for fielding questions in advance. I'd like to know what is on the roadmap for integrated mobile environments, for example not only SAP apps but also consolidating non-SAP information and presenting a rendered, uniform environment using SUP. For example, if a customer has different information stores in SAP, Sharepoint, other web and microsites, how can we use SUP to provide a uniform view? Many thanks.

Hey Matthew, A few questions: 1) What type of landscape do you need in place for the mobile apps? will you need a landscape like ERP where you have sandbox, dev, qual and prod? 2) I know it is relative but how many employees will it take to support the environment? 3) are there SAP training classes offered? Thanks for your time!

Dear Matthew, I am interested to know more about the Productivity Apps in SAP ERP HCM like mobile leave request/approval, travel request/approval : 1. What is the GA for the above, I believe it is on ramp-up currently ? 2. What is the infrastructure required to support the application : a. SUP, Sybase Mobile Workflow for the Business Suite, Gateway : are these components absolutely required and is there more ? b. What is the development (and deployment) environment infrastructure required to be setup ? c. Does the employee needs to register his/her hand-phone with AFARIA in order to access the apps ? 3. Where can I find more materials including technical and how-to-guide and the necessary skill-sets required to start planning for implementing these apps ? 4. How much of the solution is based on open standard and not completely lock-in to the Sybase technology ? 5. Is the apps based on native development or it can run in different mobile devices out of the box ? Thank you. Regards Kir Chern

Most of the Mobile Applications that SAP and SAP Partners are developing and SAP's intent in the future for more Developer community to develop , requires Sybases SUP and backend SAP Enterprise Systems . As most companies are trying to figure out a Mobility Strategy and at the same time trying to have some quick wins by Deploying Mobility Apps "Faster" , there are challenges and huge initial cost involved in Deploying the MEAP / Sybase SUP . What is SAP Strategic direction to address the huge initial cost involved in deploying the MEAP / Sybase SUP and consuming the 50+ mobile apps that SAP developed so far?

Hey Matt, 1) What are the target mobile plattforms which will be supported by the SAP launched apps? - Android - iOS (iPhone, iPad) - Windows mobile - Blackberry - Others? 2) SAP Cart approval App will be available only for iPhone, Blackberry. How long is the Ramp-Up? When is the GA? Any plans for Android, windows mobile? 3) What is the current status of "the generic inbox"? When is this App available, Ramp-Up, GA? What needs to be done on the customer side to implement that (same effort like UWL)?

Hi William. The question you post (or business pain point) is the exact value proposition of SUP and what it allows your business to do for managing your mobility enterprise. In short, the intent of SUP is to provide and manage the connectivty into multipe back end systems and data stores. Via the use of a data modeling tools (MBOs), SUP creates a centralized view of your data that is then leveraged via the various native devices (iOS, BB, Android, etc.) you choose to deploy the data and biz process upon.
