New Solution Makes Entire Field Service Process Available on Mobile Devices
Orlando, Florida. May 17, 2010 - msc mobile today announced the launch of MOMENTUM, a mobile field service solution for use with SAP® applications. MOMENTUM is based on Sybase Unwired Platform and SAP NetWeaver® Mobile 7.1. These are the same technologies used by the Sybase Mobile Sales for SAP CRM and Sybase Mobile Workflow for SAP Business Suite applications, announced recently by Sybase and SAP AG. MOMENTUM offers users a seamless offline and online experience, allowing them to function regardless of connectivity. All critical activities are available in a disconnected mode and the data is pushed directly from the SAP ERP application to the mobile devices. MOMENTUM enables field service technicians to access all the relevant data they need to execute their work on a mobile device. It covers the whole range of data, including service and work orders, tasks list, notifications, material inventory and business partners. Users can also create time and material confirmations while on the go. Extremely versatile, MOMENTUM is integrated with SAP ERP - including the plant maintenance and customer service applications - and also with all major resource scheduling solutions that support SAP applications. "MOMENTUM brings together the msc mobile’s plant maintenance expertise, customer service and focus on usability with the proven Sybase Unwired Platform," says Jagdish Bansiya, senior director for Enterprise Mobility at Sybase Inc. "This is a perfect solution for customers also using SAP applications." "Only by building MOMENTUM on the Sybase Unwired Platform could we reach our goal: A flexible mobile solution with great usability built on proven technology," states Alexander Ilg, founder of msc mobile. "MOMENTUM benefits from the power of Sybase Unwired Platform: Push support, over-the-air deployment via Sybase Afaria, high performance and scalability. Sybase Unwired Platform also allows us to use native technologies like .Net. This is a big advantage for us, our customers and partners who want to enhance the solution." With MOMENTUM, users are as up-to-date as possible, as new and modified business data like orders and notifications are instantly pushed from SAP ERP applications to the mobile device and back. In addition to the classical field service functionality, MOMENTUM also offers calendar and map integration, real-time alerts of important events and other notifications. Designed with users in mind, MOMENTUM allows even the most inexperienced user to employ the solution with ease. With the version optimized for touch screens, users can enter information either with their fingers, via a virtual keyboard or by handwriting recognition. When running on a laptop, MOMENTUM can be used like a classical desktop application. msc mobile will showcase MOMENTUM at the SAPPHIRE® NOW conference being held May 16-19 in Orlando, Fla., on tablet PCs and laptops. A Windows Mobile PDA version is scheduled to follow in the third quarter of 2010. For more information, please visit http://www.msc-mobile.com/momentum.
