Avanade has launched a mobile solutions offering for SAP applications. The new platform provides offline remote access to select SAP solutions on Windows Mobile devices.

The solution is designed for mobile workers and allows remote access to SAP applications beyond the boundaries of a network. It enables users to interact with business workflow processes and access corporate communications at their convenience, from any location, without compromising security.

Avanade Mobile Solutions – for SAP applications, provides access to the SAP NetWeaver portal component, the SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence component and the SAP Business Workflow tool. From a security point of view, the offering supports the ability to determine roles and level of user in order to present correct data on the device. The solution also supports the ability to determine roles and level of user in order to present only permitted data, as per the access levels agreed.

“SAP applications provide business managers and finance departments with huge amounts of business data,” said Steve Butcher, mobile solution architect at Avanade. “Our mobile solution not only allows users to access SAP data in the SAP solution while on the move, but enables them to slice and dice information, viewing charts and graphs containing only the records they need on a handheld device.”
