A couple of our customers are using SAP Mobile Platform. We are not the end users but rather the OEM partners of SAP, and we used to implement SAP Mobile Platform for our customers. Due to SAP declaring it as end-of-support in 2021, one customer has moved from SAP to another solution. They haven't migrated the whole system yet, but they are planning to. Another customer is also planning to migrate because of the end of support. We have integrated with several renowned international core banking systems such as Temenos and Oracle. The pricing was based on the number of wallets, and I think it was reasonable. I don't have many concerns over the pricing. Unfortunately, we can't use it anymore. I have personally worked on SAP Mobile Platform for the past 15 years. Ericsson is still working in Pakistan, running one of the biggest mobile wallet platforms in the country. If SAP hadn't marked it as end-of-life, we could have penetrated this market for at least two to three more customers. In this market where we are working, there is still significant potential, especially with digital banks emerging with digital licenses and e-money licenses in the country. The challenge in Pakistan and this region is that statutory regulations do not allow financial institutions to host their applications on clouds outside Pakistan. We were the OEM partners, not resellers. This particular agreement ended in 2023. On a scale of 1-10, I rate SAP Mobile Platform a nine.
Utilizing mobile data synchronization in this solution helps my data consistency efforts because I don't have any specific concerns around data consistency so far; it is just ease of use.We do use the offline data management feature. The integration of mobile services with enterprise systems such as SAP S/4HANA is something we have done. We use RESTful services to integrate, and it's all embedded in the mobile services application that we build, so it's all connected to whatever back-end system it is. My impression on the pricing and licensing of SAP Mobile services is that's something that's always interesting when it comes to SAP pricing. In recent days, I'm not much involved in terms of sales aspects for services. For my company, what made me choose SAP is that they update regularly and they are up to date; I would recommend SAP to my customers over other vendors of a similar nature. I rate this solution 8 out of 10.
The tool is not easy or simple to integrate with other infrastructures. In the past, the concept of an MDM platform was strategic to understand how to deploy applications between different mobile solutions, like iPhones or Androids, and also based on the time zones. I am looking at SAP BTP, which is strategic for mobile development, but in the past, I worked with MuleSoft. Not only have I worked with MuleSoft for the integration but also with SAP PI/PO for integration and some other integration suites. I have also used a platform to deploy new applications as per SAP Fiori's concept. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
In a recent project, we integrated SAP Mobile Platform with various SAP systems. Most companies store their data on-premises or in SAP systems. Our task was to sync this data with the mobile platform hosted in the cloud. We used integration tools to connect seamlessly with these on-premises systems, ensuring data synchronization. Additionally, we connected to satellite systems like Jira for specific functionalities such as ticket management, requiring robust integration capabilities. The security model of SAP Mobile Platform has positively impacted our mobile applications by addressing initial reluctance and highlighting its suitability for certain tasks like approvals and on-site data entry, especially for industries like oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing. This enables remote approval processes and real-time data entry, improving efficiency and accessibility for users who are not always at their desks. SAP Mobile Platform supports our cross-platform mobile app development needs by enabling the conversion of SAP transaction codes into mobile-friendly interfaces. This allows users to access SAP functionalities from their mobile devices, increasing flexibility and productivity, especially for departments like sales who need to input data on the go. Overall, I would rate SAP Mobile Platform as an eight out of ten.
We are one of the partners of SAP Mobile Platform. We have implemented it in a couple of banks in Pakistan. We use the on-premises deployments. In Pakistan, the local regulations of the Central Bank require that they do not post solutions on public cloud. You can only do it on the local cloud within Pakistan, not outside Pakistan. I’d rate the solution nine out of ten. It's an excellent system and very, very flexible with a very, very good design for the database. However, SAP has ended its support for the SMP mobile platform. They have probably moved it to a cloud-based solution, which they are offering, yet, from the on-prem perspective, they have ended the support for SMP, which they used to call SMP 3.0 3.1. That is a problem.
We are a partner and a customer. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. We used to be on AWS on the public cloud. We are still on AWS and are now on a private cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
We are implementors. We have some partnerships with Microsoft. In terms of the technology stack, we are using Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP, not IBM. For the local industry, we have done some customizations on the solution and that's how we are using it. We have implementations on both cloud and on-premises currently. We are using on-premises deployments as the industry where we have implemented it - the central bank - doesn't allow cloud-based implementations at this point in time. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've mostly been quite satisfied with the capabilities of the platform.
SAP Mobile Platform is a mobile enterprise application platform developed to make it easier to create applications that connect business data to mobile devices for workflow management and back-office integration. SAP Mobile Platform provides a layer of middleware between heterogeneous back-end data sources such as relational databases, enterprise applications and files, and mobile devices that need to read and write back-end data. The platform is very helpful to developers, making it quick...
