Danes | May 242016 Two tech giants; one partnership; 20 months in the making. The deal with Apple was one of the biggest announcements in SAP SE’s historyand it’s rapidly generating hype. Akash AgarwalGVP of Enterprise Mobile at SAP’s Mobile Business Unitsaid“Bill McDermott [CEO of SAP] quoted on Mondaywe got something in the order of 4 billion press hits” in 32 hours following the announcement. Peter Burris (@plburris)cohost of theCUBEfrom the SiliconANGLE Media teamgot right down to business with Agarwal and asked what we can expect to see from the partnership in the coming months. If Agarwal’s repeated use of words like “beautiful” and “magical” are any indicationperhaps it will live up to the hype. Next-gen enterprise Agarwal said there are 2.5 million developers on the HANA platformand“Immediatelyall those developers will have access to this SDK from which they can build out beautiful iOS experiences.” And then there’s the other side of the coin. “There are 11 million Apple developers out there that have been primarily focused on building consumer applications” Agarwal said. “And now they will have the opportunity to build applications in and around the SAP ecosystem.” The synthesis is all about bringing what we’ve come to expect from Apple to industries — like retailasset maintenanceservice and healthcare. Despite some experimenting here and thereAgarwal stated“We haven’t seen the total consumerization of enterprise.” Together with AppleSAP will now try to get us there. #sapsapphirenow #theCUBE
