SAP Mobile Platform: Helping Enterprise Build Mobile Strategy from Mobile Moments

A “mobile moment,” according to Gartner, is each time someone texts, opens an app or uses their mobile. Each of these mobile moments is an opportunity for a business to engage with their users and build their mobile strategy.

The research giant suggests identifying and working on mobile moments as the starting point to creating mobile apps and implementing an enterprise-wide mobile strategy. Mobile moments highlight touchpoints as opportunities to consider while creating a workflow.

For instance, when building a workflow automation App for your field staff, the touchpoints will cover customer data capturing, inventory access, expense reporting, and data access to the CRM system. An ideal mobility solution considers all these touchpoints and converges data from multiple sources into a single app, enabling easy access for the end-user. Features like multimedia and mobile sensors add further value to your mobility app.

Approaches to Enterprise Mobility Strategy

There are two strategies to build mobility for your business.

The first is identifying processes with multiple touchpoints by different users and converging as needed. The second is to act on the processes with delays or wait time for a user action and start building applications to address them. If your enterprise is already mobile, you can start by optimizing the current processes and refining them for mobile deployment.
