SAP has a section of their SDN/SCN portal for enterprise mobility. On this site they have a diagram depicting an end-to-end mobile solution. This diagram does a good job of causing fear in just about everyone. The diagram shows a deep stack of technology components, each with their own complex technical design and functionality. I can just imagine an enterprise IT team gasping in distress at this diagram. However, understanding how everything in your car works is not necessary in order to drive it. Let me give you an example. ClickSoftware is an SAP mobility partner and the developer of a host of workforce automation and service chain optimization applications. They have already mobilized field services applications and implemented them with SAP. It is now available out-of-the-box. The complexity of the implementation has largely been removed.
