Syclo is the leading provider of mobile asset management and field service solutions. Their expertise is in mobile solutions for the utilities, oil & gas, life sciences, and manufacturing industries. Even before the company was acquired by SAP, it already offered preconfigured mobile apps for SAP ERP and CRM systems. Now that Syclo has joined SAP, customers stand to benefit from even more seamless integration between the two companies and new opportunities for innovation.

Acquisition means access to more apps

Syclo’s existing IBM Maximo and Oracle customers, for example, now have access to the full breadth of SAP mobile solutions, capabilities, and innovations. And companies that aren’t already using SAP products can now leverage the SAP mobile platform to build and deploy mobile apps. This greatly extends the value of their existing back office applications.

But we didn’t just take the keynote speakers at their word. We also spoke directly with some Syclo customers what they think about SAP’s acquisition of the company:

• Coca Cola Bottling: “As the largest US independent bottler that makes, sells and delivers beverages, we use mobility from all different aspects. We implemented our first app, Inventory Management, with Syclo a few years ago. And we’ve always been early adopters of SAP technology. We believe we’ll have access to more apps, great technology and innovation with this acquisition.” – Paris Fogle, Mobility Lead Specialist

• Grainger: “We used Syclo’s Agentry platform to mobilize our sales force, and recently went live with a custom Syclo CRM application. We are a big SAP customer, so SAP acquiring Syclo is a validation for us. Their technology and value complement each other. It gives us the opportunity to build out more functionality for our apps, making us even more successful.” – Paul Neal, Business Systems Manager
