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 Nicole,

This is a loaded question however from a strategy perspective this is what I would do:

1) What SAP functionality they are interested in accessing from mobile devices and why (assuming they want to go mobile for this reason)

2) Survey the market to see if you find a COTS solution which maybe cheaper than developing in-house (Fiori transactions (online only), Syclo apps, 3rd party apps etc)

3) If you must develop your self then consider HTML5 (e.g. Sencha) with Netweaver Gateway as many folks have recommended on this thread

Hope this helps.

If it works, this (see below) may be a real low cost solution for you. I have used this technology in past on desktop side but not sure how well it works on iOS devices.

Using this technology with mobile devices would be challenging (Even desk too ). We have used the same for an offline desktop app. I would suggest to use other third party tools that consume Odata and it is recommended by SAP ( Cordova, Appcelerator etc.). In the future odata will support offline scenario too. Odata is a very powerful which is capable to send large amount of data between mobile and backend.
