Sybase Software (India), the Indian subsidiary of Sybase, a player in the enterprise and mobile software space and Wipro Infotech, the India and Middle East IT Business of Wipro and a provider of IT and business transformation services, have announced a partnership to extend SAP applications to a variety of mobile device types. With these solutions, SAP customers will be able to securely access their business-critical enterprise applications while on the move.

Sybase and SAP are jointly delivering co-developed solutions for extending SAP CRM and SAP Business Suite to mobile devices. SAP customers will now be able to leverage Wipro’s SAP implementation skills to customise these Sybase Mobile Solutions for SAP, in addition to developing custom mobile applications for other SAP modules such as SRM SCM, PLM, etc that will be directed towards areas like mobile services, mobile sales, time and travel approvals, workflows, warehouse management, asset management, etc.

Wipro’s solutions will be based on Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP), a mobile enterprise application platform that provides systems integrators, independent software vendors, and enterprise developers with the ability to easily develop, deploy and manage mobile applications. This mobility infrastructure will enable enterprises to implement, manage and expand their mobile computing initiatives in a coherent, streamlined and cost-effective manner. Mobile solutions created using the Unwired Platform enable mobile workers to access business-critical data anytime, from anywhere, leading to a positive impact on productivity and revenue.

As part of this joint initiative, Wipro will set up a Centre of Excellence at its Research Centre Sangam in Bangalore, where customers will be able to experience the various mobile applications developed by Wipro to mobilise SAP. This Centre of Excellence will also be used to develop newer industry frameworks that can be used across different customer verticals.
