BlackBerry gets new CRM goodies thanks to RIM-SAP alliance

May 5, 2008 from IT Business.ca – “SAP and Research in Motion have teamed up to bring SAP's back-end business applications, beginning with CRM, to BlackBerry devices… SAP's CRM is the first application that will run natively on the BlackBerry, but eventually the companies plan to build mobile versions of SAP's applications -- including ERP (enterprise resource planning) and supply chain -- for BlackBerry devices, said Bill McDermott, president and CEO of SAP Americas, Asia Pacific and Japan.”
