Movilizer SAP ISUIntroduction

 The service companies (electricity, gas, water, etc) that use SAP can work in different areas along the value chain: generation, transmission, distribution, sales and operation with the counters. Most of these companies need a mobility solution to support not only the maintenance of the installations but also the services they provide to their clients. Movilitas provides the best solution to support SAP PM/CS mobility processes with ‘Movilizer for SAP PM/CS’ for generation, transmission and distribution companies. If a company is working in distribution or in operations with accountants, they will need to manage their clients’ counters. For these service companies Movilitas offers a Movilizer IS-U solution, which supports the processes related with the counters, such as the periodic change, the installation and dismantling of counters, periodic and non periodic readings, charges with disconnections or reconnection. In general the counters are located in the clients’ businesses or in companies, with or without Internet Access; this is the reason why a mobility solution that can work without connection (offline) or with internet connection (online) is a must in order to manage all the relevant information without the need of resorting to paper, increasing the employees´ productivity and improving the efficiency of the processes.

During the last years two tendencies in the market have been observed that have made many companies rethink their mobility strategy:

Your IS-U solution needs to be able to adapt quickly to the changes of requirement. Since IS-U is a key part in your companies’ operations, the existing distribution processes in the service companies demand flexibility and agility to innovate, especially nowadays, when the ubiquity and the connectivity of the people that control the installed counters is growing. There are many examples of situations where a mobility solution is required; to name a few: counter reading, counter installation, counter renewal, etc. The current market has lost its interest in monolithic and rigid applications (developed for a specific device) which do not take advantage of the benefits of the Internet.

The fast penetration of the multi-functional smart phones in the market (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Nokia, Windows 7 mobile devices, etc) and the improvements in data speed connection (GRPS/3G) have demanded a change in the adopted strategies, which were oriented to mobile applications that worked without coverage and needed industrial devices (most of the times PDAs industries). Currently, clients search for fast applications that can work in any mobile devices and not only in PDAs.

The Movilizer for SAP IS-U was specifically designed to meet these needs. This, together with the fact that Movilizer is a low cost solution, gives the possibility for any company to implement the solution, in their phones, as well as their client´s and partners´. Therefore, it displays a new prospect of opportunities to innovate in the businesses processes.

Another advantage Movilizer has is that it can coexist with other mobile applications that are currently installed in your mobile terminals. Movilizer allows you to recycle the mobile terminals you have acquired and even to integrate your current mobile solutions with it if it were necessary.
