Your sales department just requested CIO approval for a best-of-breed mobility solution for their sales account executives and sales management. Since your company does not yet have a defined mobility strategy the VP of Sales wants to move ahead with this solution. Your company is an SAP shop and has a policy of "Why Not SAP" which they apply to any non-SAP software purchase before approval. You just got handed this project to do a quick review of SAP's mobility offering to understand what SAP has and be able to answer the question "Why Not SAP?" She wants a quick evaluation to understand what it is, how our organization could benefit from a mobility strategy based on SAP for Sales and beyond. Write a two page Executive Briefing to your CIO on the topic of SAP's Unwired Platform. State up front your role in the real or fictional organization that you are representing.
Be sure to address feedback/learnings from our prior assignments such as:
- Compelling opening statements (they should tell the whole story and make your CIO want to read more -- consider writing them last)
- Description of exactly "What is it" (in understandable terms)
- What are the stated benefits of the tool?
- What business issues does this address?
- What value can it add to our organization?
- What will it take to implement?
- Make your voice heard, explain your recommendationas well asWHY you believe it.
