It's helped me when I've been short of devices and want to test whether the application will work on a specific device or not.

Offers a robust set of tools for developing, deploying, and managing mobile apps securely and efficiently
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.
