1 The Movilizer SAP Connector
The Movilizer SAP Connector uses the web service functionality of SAP. With SAP Basis Rel 7.0 SP14, the SAP web service functionality has been improved and the Movilizer SAP Connector package relies on these adjustments. The required minimum level to implement the delivered package containing the web service proxy is therefore NetWeaver 7.0 with SP 14 or later. Should your backend system not fulfill this requirement, the Movilizer SAP Connector components can be deployed in a distributed manner (one NetWeaver 7.0 system in your landscape is enough to enable the Movilizer to connect to any of your SAP older systems).
Besides this, no specific SAP ERP (PM/CS Modules) releases are required.
2 The Movilizer Cloud
It is a secured multitenant and hosted middleware with 99,9% guaranteed availability that can connect your SAP PM system with any mobile device by sending and receiving encrypted business data in both directions. For an IT responsible, the Movilizer Cloud means that you don't need to purchase or install any additional infrastructure (no middleware ). For its use in ultra sensible areas (e.g. maintenance in nuclear plants or in military equipments) the Movilizer supports "End to End encryption" based on military standard encryption algorithms AES or RC4 (from Movilizer version 1.7 onwards). The following components are accessible via secured connection through the Internet:
- Monitoring / Admin Portal: You only use the Monitoring/Admin-Portal via the Internet to do technical monitoring of all your mobile users. Normally you only use this Portal by exception (for trouble shooting purposes);most of the Movilizer customers barely use it . The access to the Portal is protected via SSL, user/password and if optionally also via fixed IP addresses.
- Web Service: You use the Web Service to connect the Movilizer to any backend system you may use. The Web Service includes APIs for: Sending and assigning data to your mobile users / Receiving captured data from the mobile users / Monitoring and administrating the mobile landscape (e.g. creating users etc.). The access to the WebService is protected via SSL, user/password and if also via fixed IP addresses.
3 The Movilizer Client
It is very small software (some few Kilobytes) written in different native languages (depending on the target device) capable of running on nearly any mobile phone, smart phone, PDA, Tablet PC, Netbook or Notebook. Please refer to http://www.movilizer.com/Supported_Devices/ for a complete list of supported devices.
The Movilizer client works online—offline. This means that you don't need connectivity to be able to work with it. The synchronization can be triggered automatically in background, explicitly by the mobile user or based on a process step. The Movilizer uses the native user interface of your mobile phone or PDA.
The deployment of the Movilizer Client is done via SMS and is exactly as easy as downloading a ringtone (average set up time is seconds). The Movilizer client works online—offline. This means that you don't need connectivity to be able to work with it. The synchronization can be triggered automatically in background, explicitly by the mobile user or based on a process step.
