At a recent forum, SAP addressed mobility and the cloud in businesses and where they may be in the next couple of years.

According to a report from IDG News Service, SAP said the rising growth of mobile devices will lead them to becoming the primary tool to access various data and applications not only for individuals and consumers, but businesses of all sizes as well.

"We see that innovation and speed are increasing exponentially," SAP Philippines Country managing director Darren Rushworth told the news source. "Users of technology are driving a lot of changes in the industry today."

Rushworth added that consumers are using the cloud at an increasingly higher rate and that businesses must adapt to this trend.

Companies that have yet to adopt a cloud solution may find their reluctance to upgrade their processes could see them get surpassed by competitors more willing to integrate efficient technology. Although the cloud may be a bit foreign to some, a number of businesses have found the learning curve to be quite manageable and the short- and long-term benefits to be worth the initial investment.
