Low cost mobile solution

[#1]

Hello All,

I have a small customer who wants to go mobile, but with a tightly constrained budget. What are our options? There will be only aprox. ten end users.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Currently I would recommend using the Netweaver Gateway to expose SAP data, using SAPUI5 for the user interface and the phonegap/cordova if an app is required.  Use a reverse proxy, SAP Web Dispatcher or similar to make the solution secure from outside your intranet.  Benefits to using this method is that the apps can also work on a PC browser with little or not adjustments.   If these users that will use the functionality are already named users in SAP then there should be no licence costs, gateway can be installed on your current SAP ABAP stack system or a seperate system.  The overall costs should be minimal compared to a more full blown mobile server installation with SMP or similar but those apps should be able to run on the SMP server in the future if needed.
