Making applications work for real-time, mobile workforces was a big theme of SAP’s product announcements this week.
SAP’s HANA in-memory analytics platform figured prominently in a number of announcements, such as the new SAP ERP rapid-deployment solution for operational reporting, and Sybase’s mobile platform was also the focus of a number of new and enhanced products.
Cloud computing was also a big theme this week. SAP’s Rapid Deployment and BusinessObjects solutions are now available on demand on Amazon Web Services (AWS), and SAP and Microsoft announced improved integration between SAP software and Microsoft’s virtualization and cloud computing technologies.
