Safeguard Your Mobile ContentHow SAP can provide your company with a safe and reliable way to manage content on mobile devices

More than 80% of employees today say that they need to access work documents from outside the office.* Yet to do this, around two-thirds are using consumer file transfer tools,† e-mailing files to personal accounts, and syncing to iTunes to move business files from the corporate network to their mobile devices – with all the attendant security risks.

To address this issue, the SAP® Mobile Documents solution provides the security and control that IT professionals need while giving business users anytime, anywhere access to view, present, and collaborate on personal business documents and corporate content.

Building the SAP Mobile Documents solution into your offerings can enable your company to upgrade existing solutions with mobile content management features or quickly develop applications that connect business content to mobile workers. This can help you to:• Tap into a growing enterprise market where collaboration,

security, and control of business content are critical• Generate new revenue streams from your existing

customers• Differentiate from your competitors by meeting customer

needs more completely• Leverage a proven solution to expand your mobile portfolio

without new development

For your customers, enterprise-ready mobile content management reduces corporate risk, helps ensure compliance, and lowers the complexity of accessing content for greater productivity, increased efficiency, and improved operations.
