SAP Mobile Applications Strategy
You ever wonder what SAP has done with Sybase? I recently attended a conference on the subject and was impressed with the number of mobile apps that SAP has already delivered, which you can usually try out from the app store.
SAP Mobile Applications - Sybase - Syclo provide vast new possibilities.
Those include:

This doesn’t include the long standing mobile SAP MRO Mobile maintenance capability within the MRO suite. These applications also have to be integrated with the aircraft manufacturers electronic maintenance manuals.
They also recently purchased Syclo, which gives them a great entré into field maintenance, particularly useful in the pipeline industry, among others.

These are already an extensive offering of mobile applications. However, what is obvious is that the Industry Specific Mobile Application offerings are still being rolled-out. With more than 30 SAP Industry Solutions as standard, plus a very large offering of Partner specific Industry Solutions, many mobile use cases are already covered. However, most CIOs will want to develop a mobile applications roadmap as part of a larger IT Strategy Roadmap.
