PRESS RELEASE
iQlink provides simple solution to connect BlackBerry users with SAP
- Premier provider of Innerware helps UK enterprises implement SAP on BlackBerry.
- Remote and mobile workers can now access SAP online and offline.
- Solution provides direct access to SAP business applications on BlackBerry handsets.
Bracknell, England – January 4, 2007 - iQlink, Sky Technologies' Premier Partner in the UK of the proven Innerware™ solution that extends SAP to the remote and mobile workforce, is now helping organisations integrate SAP applications with the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution.
SAP integration is easy with the proven Sky Technologies Innerware solution, which is built on an SAP-certified platform that sits and runs within SAP, providing both standalone (offline) and online connectivity to SAP systems. iQlink is now providing a simple method to connect SAP with BlackBerry enabling organisations to deploy a range of SAP applications from sales force automation and plant maintenance to time and expense management.
Paul Viney, Managing Director of iQlink Ltd. says, "Extending SAP applications through Innerware to mobile and remote workers via BlackBerry can enable staff to work more efficiently and save time; for example, mobile sales teams can check stock and credit availability, record orders and identify service issues, while business managers can approve purchase orders and expenses, and consultants can record billable time and expenses."
The Innerware solution is designed to be installed within a corporate network and connect to the SAP backend system via the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software. On a BlackBerry device, users simply navigate to an icon on the main menu to access a particular application. The application is a full Java client, which allows offline and online functionality. If the user is out-of-range or a wireless carrier network signal is unavailable, the user can continue working, and once the connection is restored, the application will automatically synchronise with the backend SAP system.
The solution has a 90% functional fit ‘out-of-the-box’, providing organizations with a range of template solutions and pre-built processes. iQlink can help businesses implement a complete solution within 1 to 3 months and customers have the benefit of still using their existing in-house SAP skills throughout the implementation process.
“Having worked with SAP for over 12 years, I believe this to be one of the best pieces of integration software I have seen,” continues Viney. “It is a new and exciting development that can deliver productivity benefits throughout the enterprise.”
