Compaq and SAP Team to Deliver Enhanced Mobile Solutions

Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ) and SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) announced today they will deliver end-to-end mobile solutions through a new pilot called the Compaq Mobile Business Starter Solution, designed to demonstrate faster deployment, reduced implementation costs, and increased productivity for customers. This solution, incorporating the mySAP Mobile Business Solutions, will enable customers to experience immediate business value by allowing access to a variety of enterprise applications on the Compaq iPAQ™ Pocket PC and the Compaq iPAQ™ BlackBerry.

One of its kind in the industry today, the Mobile Business Starter Solution relies on engineering testing of mobile technologies to size and characterize the key infrastructure and software elements, and provides the end-to-end components needed to implement the mobile project.

"Compaq is working with SAP to thoroughly test all of our mobile devices for SAP solutions to ensure maximum benefit to the customer," said Ron Eller, vice president, Industry Standard Server Group, Compaq. "The vast knowledge we can bring from over 10,000 SAP installations, coupled with our market-leading ProLiant™ servers and portfolio of access products, will allow us to assist our joint customers with the implementation of complete mobile solutions"

"Working closely with Compaq, we are delivering a complete end-to-end solution which will allow an enterprise to deploy mobile enterprise applications and mobile e-mail leveraging the SAP Mobile Workplace," said Howard Beader, director, mySAP Mobile Business, SAP Labs. "This partnership allows us to build on the strength of the complete Compaq organization, from ProLiant servers through various access devices, as well as through Compaq Global Services with their experienced wireless professionals."

mySAP Mobile Business extends the reach of mySAP.com beyond desktop PCs and wirebound networks. mySAP Mobile Business establishes new ways to interact with enterprise systems and empowers new user communities and individuals to participate in collaborative business processes. With mySAP Mobile Business, companies can now deliver unmatched levels of service and support to their employees, customers, and business partners.

Compaq and SAP will work with their large installed base of customers to provide mySAP Mobile Business Solutions through the new pilot, Compaq Mobile Business Starter Solution.
