German Utility RheinEnergie Selects Syclo Mobile Solution, Through Collaboration with SAP, to be Implemented by ENERGY4U
SMART Work Manager for use with SAP® ERP Will Increase Productivity and Improve Operations for RheinEnergie
Hoffman Estates, IL (PRWEB) October 14, 2009 -- Syclo, a market leader in mobile enterprise platforms and applications, today announced that RheinEnergie, a German utility serving 2.5 million people in the Rhine region, has selected SMART Work Manager for use with the SAP® ERP application, a mobile application from Syclo resulting from its co-innovation relationship with SAP AG (NYSE: SAP). The solution was chosen to automate technicians' daily meter and preventative maintenance work order processes and will be implemented by ENERGY4U, a German-based consulting and implementation firm.
Syclo SMART Work Manager for use with SAP ERP provides field workers mobile to perform more work and capture more data.
After blueprinting the eight core processes they wanted to mobilize, RheinEnergie consulted ENERGY4U GmbH, who helped them understand SAP's expanding mobile vision for the future.
"When ENERGY4U explained SAP was now collaborating with Syclo on the co-innovation relationship with SAP co-innovation of mobile solutions, we were very intrigued, but after learning the SMART Work Manager application worked on both laptops and PDAs, synchronized to SAP ERP without issue, came with a flexible mobile architecture, and required little effort to support it, we were sold," said Mrs. Troilo, RheinEnergie's Project Manager. "Syclo, in cooperation with SAP, provides a low-risk choice to facilitate the exchange of data between our remote workforce and our enterprise implementation of SAP ERP."
In March, Syclo announced an agreement centered around co-innovation with SAP to deliver mobile applications that enable maintenance and service technicians access to SAP Business Suite software from a broad range of devices regardless of connectivity.
"We are pleased that the co-innovated solutions resulting from our agreement with Syclo have been well-received by customers, including RheinEnergie," said Bernd Keller, head of Utility Solution Management, SAP AG. "With SMART Work Manager for use with SAP ERP, ENERGY4U will bring incremental value to RheinEnergie's daily operations. SMART Work Manager offers a seamless end-user interface on a variety of devices, regardless of connectivity, so remote technicians can access and capture meter, inventory and work-order information in SAP ERP and the SAP for Utilities solutions portfolio."
ENERGY4U specializes in providing consulting and implementation services related to SAP solutions for utility companies in the deregulated energy market. "Our strong partnerships with both Syclo and SAP helped us better serve RheinEnergie," said Florian Ganz, head of ENERGY4U's Mobile Department. "We recognized the current direction of SAP's mobility program to help RheinEnergie meet their mobility needs both now and in the future."
