One of the things we say internally at SAP is that mobile is the face of digital transformation. Indeed when I speak to customers, if they don't have mobile in mind as they plan out their digital transformation strategy, I always try to guide them gently to consider it. Next generation businesses consider the mobile experience as important (more often more important) than traditional routes to access information. Mobile should be interwoven with the enterprise fabric, and that's how it is with SAP too. Mobile is ubiquitous.
Now that's great, and how it should be. Fully integrated, interwoven, everywhere. But as an attendee of SAP TechEd, having mobile embedded in all areas of SAP (particularly in SAP Cloud Platform), it might make it difficult to find a concentration of mobility expertise in any one spot.
Let me help you out with that.
I'd like to introduce you to the mobile superheroes; the folks at TechEd Las Vegas who can answer all your questions about mobile. Keep this list handy and you'll find yourself completely "in the know"!
