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,

It depends on programming skills of customer/implementation partner and also on what you wish to mobilize.

As many have said Gateway and SAPUI5  is great if you have javascript/html5 developers that are Eclipse proficient.

If your needs are covered by Fiori that is also a viable solution.

Personally I work at Neptune Software so I am of course a bit biased here. Neptune is a good solution for custom development (like your z reports) and also if the development team consists of ABAP developers.

Price is very affordable and you can download a trial for free to test it out.

Also the SMP Cloud is a very interesting product from SAP with affordable prices as it is based on a per user per month license.

I posted this to Steve above, but if you work for Neptune then maybe you're the one to answer

Neptune looks complicated - I saw a series of articles that were published last week on SCN, and the steps required look endless. What sort of development is required, and how much effort would it be to convert existing ABAP reports to work with Neptune? How does it compare to zMob as mentioned above - it looks pretty trivial to convert the customers existing reports with zMob?

Thanks

I think you saw the blog series that included all the installation steps etc.

Most ABAP'ers find the solution very easy.

You only need ABAP skills for the back end coding and use the drag drop designer for the UI.

Here are a few tutorial videos:
