The document discusses using Rhomobile, an open source mobile application development platform, to build apps that access SAP backend systems. It provides an overview of Rhomobile's components like Rhodes and RhoConnect, demonstrates connecting to SAP workflows via a REST service, and shows building a mobile app to approve purchase requisitions from SAP. The presentation evaluates Rhomobile positively but notes documentation and backend integration require some manual effort.
