The Always-on Enterprise Accenture Implementation Services for SAP® Mobile Applications

2 | Accenture Implementation Services for SAP Mobile Applications

Mobility transforms the way an organization operates by extending business processes to any device—for anytime, anywhere access. Giving employees more secure mobile access to the information and systems they need most helps drive agility, improve productivity and sharpen a company’s competitive edge.


To unlock the potential that SAP mobile applications offer businesses, having a robust and efficient deployment approach is paramount. Accenture’s implementation services for SAP mobile applications delivers a predictable, more rapid, end-to-end deployment approach that enables an enterprise to get started with mobility at a fixed price, scope and timeline while reducing risk. Our implementation services bring together the heritage of Accenture’s SAP practice with the focus of Accenture Mobility Services, to offer a clear path to the successfull implemention of SAP mobile applications.

Leveraging an Accenture Mobility Business Integration Services offer, our standardized implementation services for SAP mobile applications helps lower the cost of implementation and accelerates time to value. We can better deliver mission-critical capabilities to organizations to support the deployment of customizable SAP applications.

Mobility Business Integration Services provides large-scale, integrated solutions using the full complement of Accenture Mobility Services’ capabilities to service enterprise mobility needs, including business to employee, business to business, and business to consumer solutions. We deliver integrated business and technology mobility services through a vertical or functional domain.

The Benefits of Taking Businesses MobileThe market is ready for—and already being transformed by—mobility. Mobilizing a business presents the opportunity to leverage the demand and adoption of mobile technology to help accelerate business processes and enhance productivity from day one. The end-to-end solution from Accenture helps extend the value of enterprise applications with mobile accessibility to help facilitate better communication and collaboration among a business’ employees, partners and customers.

Unwiring an enterprise helps increase employee satisfaction as they can now work from anywhere and concentrate on the important areas of their work while balancing other commitments. As a result, decision making in the field—at all levels of the organization—tends to improve greatly.

With instant access to business information and the ability to execute decisions remotely, mobility has become a game changer that can help enable a business to gain a competitive edge and expand to new areas through innovation. Mobility also offers potentially immense and immediate benefits with limited risk because the traditional channels of an enterprise continue to work as it progresses towards mobilization.


SAP mobile applications help accelerate the pace of business and bring greater flexibility to the working day. The standardized set of productivity applications (see Table 1) can also run on the Accenture Managed Service for SAP Mobility Platform (formerly known as Sybase Unwired Platform) to reduce set-up time and on-premise infrastructure.

The SAP applications, which include process mobile applications, people productivity mobile applications and consumer mobile applications, can be downloaded to mobile devices from public applications stores and run in demo mode with connectivity to the SAP environment.

The implementation services can include installation, customization and deployment—as well as technical architecture, support and maintenance—of the SAP mobile applications on premise or on the SAP Mobility Platform.

In collaboration with SAP, we offer end-to-end, rapid-deployment solutions which allow more predictability, out-of-the-box integration and adoption choices as business demands. This includes extensions into client landscapes, integration with back-end systems and integration with other applications.
