SAP sets March 30 as launch date for its dev kit for iOS
BARCELONA -- Almost a year after SAP teamed with Apple to develop business applications for smartphones and tablets, the German enterprise software developer is ready to unveil the first fruits of their partnership.
On March 30, it plans to release the first version of SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS, a tool to help businesses integrate Apple's handheld devices with their back-end information systems.
