SAP Release SAP Mobile Platform 3.0 for Enterprise App Development, Offers 30 Day Free Trial

SAP has announced the 3.0 release of SAP Mobile Platform offering an enhanced set of platform services, an open standards-based architecture and a “bring-your-own-tools” (BYOT) strategy through integration with third-party development tools.

The 3.0 release of SAP Mobile Platform integrates the primary mobile application solutions from SAP, including SAP Netweaver Gateway technology, Sybase Mobiliser and Syclo Agentry,  to offer a flexible platform capable of handling mobile requirements for designing, building, testing, deploying, scaling and securely optimizing any app for any user.

The platform provides the core services that run in mobile apps, such as authentication, onboarding configuration, life-cycle management, logging and data integration; app services targeted for more specific functions around mobile commerce, including couponing, loyalty and mobile banking, and geolocation.

The cloud version of SAP Mobile Platform 3.0 is built on the SAP HANA Cloud Platform, an open, standards-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that allows SAP customers and partners to build and deploy custom applications in SAP data centers around the world. The cloud version allows for rapid deployment of packaged, highly scalable native and hybrid apps on iOS, Android, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry. As part of the SAP HANA Cloud Platform, mobile cloud version users also have access to other services, including analytics, integration, security and SAP HANA.

A 30-day free trial of SAP Mobile Platform is available on the SAP Community Network in the Developer Center for SAP Mobile Platform and a free mobile development course is available on the openSAP platform.
