Accenture Accelerator for Mobile Field Service: SAP
1. Mobile Software Accelerator
for Field Service Solutions
Capitalizing on mobility: Where to start?
Field service organizations can now extend their systems and capabilities
further than ever thanks to today’s mobile tools and technologies. Tablets,
smartphones, netbooks, and their supporting software and infrastructure
now enable greater efficiencies, boost customer satisfaction and make
field activities much safer for mobile workers.
But it’s not always easy for companies to take advantage of the mobile
offerings. Many that have tried to quickly extend their scheduling and
dispatching systems using mobile solutions have soon found themselves
in a complex and confusing technology landscape.
2. Their big question: Where do we start with mobile?
Together, Accenture and SAP have the levers (e.g., greater efficiency, reduced re-do rates, better customer service,

marketplace, Accenture has created the
Accenture Sybase Mobile Accelerator
(SMA) for Field Service.
The Sybase Mobile Accelerator
for Field Service
The SMA gives field service organizations
a mobile template, based on familiar
Sybase tools, that allows them to utilize
a common workflow for service delivery.
The template’s design draws from
Accenture's experience in helping more
than 150 service organizations around
the world.

This level of configurability also allows
any field service organization to quickly
adapt the existing workflows to their
company-specific requirements without
having to implement a mobile solution
from scratch. The SMA for Field Service
offers significant savings for companies
that want to reduce risk and realize
value as quickly as possible.
Inside the SMA
The SMA is a mobile field service
application designed to enable field
technicians, installers, agents and
supervisors to complete their specific
roles within a field service organization.
It has been specifically designed to drive
enhanced business performance for each
of these roles, through functionality
that can be directly linked to value
