Lessons learned:– Start with out of the box approval apps. Easy to

implement, and quick value. Consider My Inbox if you are doing more than a couple.

– Also start with HR apps. Get a big audience of people that rarely use SAP and don’t want to be trained on SAPGUI.

– Enable access from the Internet. People don’t want to VPN. If security is a concern, try HCP mobile services.

– Security is very important, complex. Make sure you get it right.
