SAP Focuses on Mobile Apps

Germany's SAP AG sees the business-software industry's future in mobile apps. The corollary is that SAP sees cloud-based software as the future.

Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe, who took over as co-chief executives in February 2010 following revenue and profit shortfalls, have sold investors on a plan to make SAP a growth company again in part by bringing the consumer mobile-app craze to the enterprise.
