Mindtree and SAP announce managed mobility for Australia market

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Mindtree and SAP announced their first Managed Mobility Offering for the Australia market. Mindtree will deliver SAP mobile solutions in the cloud and with a pay-by-usage model.

Managed mobility services from Mindtree and SAP enable organisations to rapidly mobilize their business with little complexity, minimal set-up time, and zero infrastructure costs.

Mindtree will offer an end-to-end suite of services including consulting, installation, hosting, and maintenance for the SAP Work Manager application in the cloud. This solution is designed to:

• reduce the deployment time of SAP mobile solutions from months to weeks

• improve efficiency and decision making capability of their field workforce by eliminating paper and improving data capture

• create a more cost-effective IT infrastructure

• mitigate the risk of technology obsolescence

In addition, the companies offer a suite of pre-built ready-to-deploy apps that clients can utilize for business scenarios ranging from enabling payments to managing loyalty points. SAP Customer Loyalty, for example, is a customizable mobile application designed to enable consumer-facing brands to build stronger relationships with their customers, as well as boost customer loyalty, transaction volumes, and conversion rates.

"This managed mobility cloud offering speeds time to market through a low-risk solution that cuts across industries," said Parthasarathy NS, president and COO, Mindtree.

"Australian businesses are asking for a cloud-enabled mobile offering from SAP to underpin their cloud strategy," said Greg Miller, COO, SAP ANZ.  "The Mindtree partnership delivers a consumption-based pricing model that allows customers to scale their mobile solutions over time, and enables ongoing mobile innovation. Importantly, it alleviates significant up-front capital expenditure, which is critical for many clients."
