SAP promises iPhone sales app this month
SAP today announced that its sales-force automation software will be compatible with Apple's iPhone. The software -- which SAP touts as one of the most user-friendly products to date, according to Reuters -- will transfer business contacts, information on prospective sales, and account data onto the iPhone.
SAP is the world's largest maker of business management software, and will include the iPhone compatibility program as part of its sales-force automation software which is due to launch this month.
"The iPhone has become such a popular thing," said Bob Stutz, a SAP senior vice president responsible for developing customer relationship management software. "Everybody wants the ease of use of the iPhone."
Interestingly the iPhone version of the software is due to ship before other mobile versions accommodating devices like the RIM Blackberry, PALM Treo, and other Windows Mobile handsets.
