 "SAP StreamWork Brings More Choices To Business, IT")
SAP has unveiled new innovations for the SAP StreamWork application that provide business and IT with valuable new choices. SAP StreamWork, enterprise edition, leverages proven Novell technology to bridge the gap between people’s demands for easy-to-use, quickly available software and access to enterprise information, and IT’s challenge in delivering enterprise data to cloud applications securely.
And to further help people drive goal-oriented, collaborative work in familiar ways, SAP StreamWork is now available via the Google Apps Marketplace. Additionally, mobile workers will soon be able to make sound decisions on the go - anyplace and anywhere - by downloading the mobile SAP StreamWork application for BlackBerry smartphones from the SAP Service Marketplace.
“SAP StreamWork shows how we’re delivering on our promise to innovate across all three areas: on premise, on demand and on device” said David Meyer, Senior Vice President, On-Demand, Productivity and Sustainability Solutions, SAP. “People need to drive their decisions with the right information and the right people. Since companies already rely on SAP solutions to manage their business data and business processes, we’re in the leading position to deliver on this vision.”
With SAP StreamWork, corporate information can be brought to users via activity streams (feeds) or by direct integrations with other applications, enabling easy monitoring of work activities, people and events, and quick notification to users of changes in the business for rapid response. It not only provides people with the ability to work the way they want to, but it also offers IT departments enterprise-class features and controls to expertly manage integration, security, auditing and rollback.
Novell Technology Provides Secure Foundation for Robust Enterprise Edition SAP StreamWork, enterprise edition, adds a new virtual appliance to securely integrate the cloud-based application with a company’s on-premise business systems.
Available today, it leverages SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and SUSE Appliance Toolkit from Novell to deliver advanced security and enterprise-system integration, helping drive rapid implementation on premise and easy remote management. People can work across different companies and pull in enterprise data residing on different sources right into their SAP StreamWork activities - all in a proven, secure environment IT specialists can trust.
“Market trends, such as cloud computing, are revolutionising the way businesses package, distribute and utilise software” said Markus Rex, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Open Platform Solutions, Novell. “Through the SUSE Appliance Program, SAP is adapting SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to create a fully-supported, SUSE-powered virtual appliance for SAP StreamWork, enterprise edition. This offering is available anytime, anywhere, and provides SAP customers with expanded access to its business-critical collaboration platform from any device. We are pleased to expand our strategic partnership with SAP to address these new market opportunities”
