Recently, I observed a soaring number of questions about the next version of the SAP Mobile Platform - version 3.0 - or short SMP3. So, I decided to put all the info about the next release of the mobile platform into one blog and tell you how you can get your hands dirty with SMP3.
When I joined the mobile product management team, we set out on the journey to make SAP mobile the "Apple of the Enterprise". With the release of SMP cloud earlier this year we took a step in the direction of simplifying enterprise mobility. With SMP3 we take a very similar step on-premise - we simplify, unify and open up.
And if you are interested in getting your hands on SMP3 to become part of this journey, read on...

One special treat is the ASUG all-day "SAP Mobile Platform 3.0 – Deep Dive into the Next Generation of the Mobile Platform" pre-conference session on Monday, October 21, 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on SMP3 presented by jeff.gebo.
More info and registration details are here: http://www.sapteched.com/2013/usa/activities/ASUGseminars.htm. The session abstract is below:
"In this one-day workshop, you will gain deep insights into the inner workings of the latest SAP Mobile Platform (SMP). We will start with the product road map where you will get an understanding of the direction of SMP. From there, we will dive into application development, building an application from scratch with the tools and services provided by SMP 3.0. We will start very basic, by creating a data model, putting a user interface on top, and connecting it to an SAP backend. After this version of the application is running on the mobile device, we will layer in platform services: Adding a logon module that can handle multiple authentication types, adding 3D animations, enable delta handling in the backend, setup push notifications, and finally, we will expand the model to span SAP and non-SAP backends. After each step, we will verify that the application still works and the new features are available. Finally, we will do some application usage analysis using the SMP Administration console to see how we interacted with our new application."
