Kevin Benedict’s What’s New in HTML5 – Week of November 18, 2012

A lot of evolution has happened thus far in 2012 with HTML5.  The best use cases for HTML5 are being discovered, while the areas that are weak are now better understood.  I expect additional development and increasing use of HTML5 in 2013. 

I believe in HTML5.  IT organizations have as their number one priority, solving business needs, followed by managing TCO (total cost of ownership).  HTML5 fulfills both of these needs.  If a mobile worker needs order and inventory information while on the road, they don't need every bell and whistle possible in native code.  If HTML5 can efficiently enable many of these small mobile apps that provide real productivity to be developed and deployed quickly at low costs, then IT organizations should be embracing it.  If you have time later, find a use case for native, but don't delay productivity gains in order to justify developing in native.

SAP's Sanjay Poonen Discusses Mobile Strategies with Kevin Benedict

SAP's Sanjay Poonen

Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of spending time on the phone with Sanjay Poonen discussing SAP's intent to acquire Syclo, and other SAP related mobile strategies.  Sanjay's current titles are President and Corporate Office, Technology and Innovation Products, Head of Mobile Division, SAP AG.

Sanjay shared that SAP's ambitions are to turn enterprise mobility into a €1 billion business for SAP.  This will take some work, acquisitions and partnerships.  He called this strategy Mobile 2.0.  He said many of the mobile apps that SAP is getting with the intended acquisition of Syclo can be $50 million businesses on their own.

[This article is based on my personal notes of our discussion, not Sanjay's exact words.]

I said, "In 2010 you acquired Sybase.  In 2012 you announced the intent to acquire Syclo.   How do you see these two mobility vendors fitting together within SAP’s mobility strategy?"

Sanjay responded that SAP wants Syclo primarily for their design environment, mobile apps and app frameworks.  He said Syclo has great business process, and business logic design environments that will be very useful to SAP customers.  He said the point of the acquisition is not to get another mobile platform, as SAP does not need another mobile platform, but to gain mobile apps and app frameworks.  

I pressed Sanjay on his reasons for wanting to acquire Syclo.  He said they had looked at everybody, but SAP didn’t need another proprietary mobile platform (SUP will do), they needed enterprise mobility apps and Syclo was the best fit for this need.  They have a large inventory of enterprise mobility apps.

Syclo, however, does not have a flashy HTML5 development environment, so companies requiring those development environments can choose SDKs (software development kits) from SAP partners Sencha, Appcelerator, Adobe and ClickSoftware to name a few.  In Sanjay's press conference a couple of weeks ago, he said the partnership around Sencha, Adobe's PhoneGap and Appcelerator may actually be the most exciting part of SAP's recent announcements.  Sanjay said SAP is happy to be the mobile platform in the middle, as long as partners support SAP's mobility platform, everyone can play nice.

Sanjay said he intends to highlight the Sybase 365 products much more than in the past.  Sybase 365 is and will play a big role in mobile banking which is a hot and emerging market.

I asked Sanjay to make a prediction.  I asked him what percentage of new enterprise mobility apps in 2014 will be based on HTML5.  He predicted 35%.  He added by 2015 it will likely be 50%.

I asked Sanjay about the role of ClickSoftware in this developing SAP mobile ecosystem.  He said ClickSoftware has expertise and strengths that offer unique value to SAP users and they are a valuable part of the SAP ecosystem.

More from Sanjay Poonen!!!

Mobile Expert Video Series: Kony Solutions' Sam Lakkundi

Several weeks ago I had the good fortune to meet up with my long time friend and mobility expert Sam Lakkundi while I was in Orlando, Florida.  Sam and I have been meeting up at enterprise mobility conferences for most of a decade.  He has traveled the world first with Sybase, and now with Kony Solutions as the VP of Mobile Strategies.

Kony Solutions is an interesting company.  They are kind of the new kid on the block in the enterprise mobility space, but they have huge experience in the mobile B2C (business-to-consumer) area.  This experience is serving them very well now because as companies adopt the BYOD (bring your own device) model, they are finding that the B2C and B2E (business-to-employee) models are converging.  If a company decides to support a wide number of mobile devices using many different mobile platforms, then that is basically the same model as B2C.  This plays to Kony Solutions' strengths.

In this interview Sam discusses BYOD models, HTML5, enterprise mobility, mobile strategies, mobile UX, mixed mode development and much more.

What Mobile Software Vendor will Oracle Buy in 2012?

What mobile software vendor will Oracle buy in 2012?  This is the question I asked, and sixty-six people shared their thoughts.  Here are their answers:

• 42% - Antenna Software
• 27% - Kony Solutions
• 13% - Verivo (formerly Pyxis Mobile)
• 12% - Syclo
• 4%   - Rhomobile

I asked this question because SAP bought Sybase, IBM bought WorkLight, HP bought webOS (oops!), and it seems like Oracle must make a move into enterprise mobility soon.  The market will not wait for Oracle, so if Oracle wants to control their future they need to act.
