In this morning’s podcast we started our week at Mobile World Congress by talking to Dr Windsor Holden of Juniper Research. He mentioned a rumoured partnership between Samsung and SAP... and that association has now been confirmed.
Samsung says business software giant SAP AG has selected its Galaxy S II smartphone and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet as an option for employees; the first time Android-based smartphones and tablets have been deployed by SAP.
The two companies also have been working together to optimise security on Samsung Android devices, with SAP’sSybase Afaria 7.0 mobile device management system now offering a number of management functions including device tracking, remote wiping and encrypted email.
