IBM Worklight helps organizations extend their business to mobile devices.
SAP Mobile Platform is a mobile enterprise application platform developed to make it easier to create applications that connect business data to mobile devices for workflow management and back-office integration. SAP Mobile Platform provides a layer of middleware between heterogeneous back-end data sources such as relational databases, enterprise applications and files, and mobile devices that need to read and write back-end data. The platform is very helpful to developers, making it quick and easy for them to link backend data to mobile users on any device at any time and providing them with optimum visibility, which leads to increased profitability.
Using SAP Mobile Platform’s development tools, application developers can write the business logic for mobile applications, as the platform is optimized for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) relationships. The program automatically does the translation necessary to create specialized versions of the new application for a variety of mobile devices and operating systems. This enables quicker and simpler development of complex applications that use multiple data sources and function on a variety of mobile devices. SAP Mobile Platform currently provides advantages across numerous industries to customers of all sizes and backgrounds.
