SAP AG and Sybase have come together for the first time to share the strategy and joint product direction for the newly combined companies.

Within the next nine months, the companies will bring together technologies to deliver a mobile platform for business that is based on open standards, runs on all major mobile operating systems, and manages and supports all major device types.

With this platform, customers and partners can build new mobile experiences on top of existing applications, such as SAP Business Suite software. In addition, SAP will showcase mobile experiences for all products, including both SAP Business Suite and SAP Business ByDesign, similar to what is available for mobile sales for customer relationship management (CRM) today.

The companies also revealed they will offer customers a complete and optimized high-performance business analytics infrastructure tapping SAP BusinessObjects business intelligence (BI) solutions on data management servers to deliver end-to-end functionality from discovery (enterprise information management) to storage (calculation and storage engines for transactions, data marts, data warehouse) to consumption (query reporting and analytics, scorecarding, dashboarding, OLAP tools, mobile BI).

Meanwhile, the combination of SAP and Sybase EIM offerings provides a broad solution portfolio for enterprise information management, including data integration and data quality, master data management, complex event processing (CEP), real-time replication, modeling, application development and database capabilities. Sybase ASE is one of the leading database engines that support transactional and mixed workloads, and will be fully supported by the combined companies. SAP will port, certify and optimize SAP Business Suite, the SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse component, SAP BusinessObjects Data Services software and SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions to Sybase ASE.

The companies will also incorporate SAP in-memory computing technology across SAP and Sybase data management offerings, enabling customers to instantaneously access any type of data, anywhere, any place in real time.
