Tieto Corporation          PRESS RELEASE         8 May 2012 at 3.00 pm EET

Tieto's Mobile Mill Hub Application is the winner of the European SAP Innovation Challenge for Manufacturing Mobile Apps. The evaluation of applications was based on categories including value, problem solving, innovation and ease of use. The Mobile Mill Hub is a mobile SAP application designed for managers to gain access to critical business processes within the manufacturing industry. It enables fast reaction to changes and smooth operation.

Among a lot of excellent Apps in the area of SAP manufacturing which were participating in this challenge, Tieto's Mobile Mill Hub was selected by the SAP jury as the winner. "The main reason for winning the competition was that our App was presented based on use-cases that managers need to perform in their daily work independent of where they are," comments Thomas Schenk, Tieto's Business Owner for SAP Mobility.

The Mobile Mill Hub provides an innovative mobile solution which is the result of Tieto's long track-record in the manufacturing industry, SAP processes and mobile solutions.

"Winning this award shows that we are capable to provide apps that bring customer value and business benefits and that will change the way our customers work. This is a very important milestone in our SAP Growth Business Initiative within Tieto," says Robert Kaup, Head of SAP Growth Business.

Enterprise mobility is an important part of Tieto's strategy as mobility will change the way of doing business. Tieto offers its clients a structured way of mobilizing their processes, from co-innovation workshops, via field studies, mobile health checks and technology choices to full end-2-end integration, operation, and life cycle management of solutions deployed. Tieto has its own "app factory" where developers, who work in close co-operation with the manufacturers of smartphones, are able to implement intuitive apps on any platform.
