The UK based, iQlink says that it is now helping organisations integrate SAP applications with the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution. SAP integration is managed with the Sky Technologies Innerware solution, which is built on an SAP-certified platform that sits and runs within SAP, providing both standalone (offline) and online connectivity to SAP systems.
iQlink is now providing a simple method to connect SAP with BlackBerry enabling organisations to deploy a range of SAP applications from sales force automation and plant maintenance to time and expense management.
Paul Viney, Managing Director of iQlink says, "Extending SAP applications through Innerware to mobile and remote workers via BlackBerry can enable staff to work more efficiently and save time; for example, mobile sales teams can check stock and credit availability, record orders and identify service issues, while business managers can approve purchase orders and expenses, and consultants can record billable time and expenses."
The Innerware solution is designed to be installed within a corporate network and connect to the SAP backend system via the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software. On a BlackBerry device, users simply navigate to an icon on the main menu to access a particular application. The application is a full Java client, which allows offline and online functionality. If the user is out-of-range or a wireless carrier network signal is unavailable, the user can continue working, and once the connection is restored, the application will automatically synchronise with the backend SAP system."
