| Kony Solutions Acquires Sky Technologies |
Kony Solutions wanted to expand into the enterprise mobility arena, and Sky Technologies needed more investment and a bigger, global presence.

I have spoken to many SAP/Sky Technologies' customers over the years and have always heard good reports on their mobility solutions.
This spring I had the opportunity to film an interview with Kony Solution's Chief Mobile Officer Sam Lakkundi in which he shares details of their ambitions. Also, while in Europe this summer speaking on mobile strategies I was able to meet Kony Solutions' Director of Technical Services, Jay Bopa Rai and film an interview him. I have also recorded interviews with the Sky Technologies team over the years that offer insight into their solutions and focus:
SAP customers have went from enterprise mobility famine to feast. They now have a plethora of good, solid choices to select from.
