Has improved mobile access for field teams and reduced dependency on manual data entry
The analytics and reporting capabilities in SAP mobile systems have helped me understand my mobile strategy better because we don't have wider reporting capabilities within mobile services. There is some reporting functionality, which I would classify as very basic, just to indicate how many devices are being connected, but it's not that comprehensive in terms of reporting.I would suggest improving the reporting by having more details around connection times.

Apart from that, if integrating to third-party systems can be made easier, this can be made into an app which can connect not just to SAP systems, but also to any third-party systems.
