SAP Mobile Platform: Enter Agentry
Back in May, Brenton O'Callaghan created this great head line in his blog SAP Mobility Platform 2.3 - what is it all about?, and said that the SAP Mobile Platform (SMP):
"... is not just the former renamed - far from it. SAP are actively working to create a single mobile enabling platform that can fulfill all needs and the first step in this journey is to integrate the Agentry platform.
Back in April 2012 SAP acquired Syclo who specialised in mobile asset management and field service solutions through their Agentry platform and this is the component that has been built into the new “SAP Mobile Platform”. Now rather than having a seperate Syco Agentry server we see a combined platform that brings the unique offering from Agentry together with the already powerful options we expect from the Sybase Unwired Platform."
Brenton's blog describes just one aspect that showcases the significance of the Agentry technology for SMP.
This strategy is further manifested with the the next version of the SAP Mobile Platform, SMP 3.0 - launched @ TechEd(blog by Jens Koerner).
