SAP has created an iPhone application for the Business ByDesign offering to further its objective of supporting companies through accelerating the mobilisation of SAP offerings. It is now available on the Apple iTunes Store.
The company said that the mobile version of the integrated on-demand offering specifically dedicated to midsize companies is available for free to all customers of feature pack 2.5 for Business ByDesign.
SAP corporate officer Peter Lorenz said, this mobile app for Business ByDesign is an integral step in delivering greater value for all users and expanding the company’s on-demand business.
In a first step, SAP has focused on providing content mainly for management and sales roles. Managers can instantly approve, reject or forward items that require immediate attention, including price lists and quote or payment approvals.
Sales representatives are supported by mobile lead and opportunity management as well as account and activity management.
A scenario that is also supported is the ability to check product availability online for sales orders, and the possibility to immediately create a sales order as follow-up.
With the next version of Business ByDesign, SAP plans to make additional scenarios available and to support further mobile devices, including BlackBerry, Android and Windows Phone 7.
The application is available for the iPhone, with a minimal requirement of version 3.1.3 of the Mac-OS operating system.
