ECM on the iPad Part 5: Decisions will not beeing made on the basis of features. …
Crucial, I found the testimony of Jonathan Ive (designer of the iPad), that he is particularly proud of all the functions, the iPad has NOT.
The screenshots and mockups today are not surprising. But believe me, it was a long, hard road up here.
The temptation is very great, to add more and more functions. Even graphically it is tempting to use the rich possibilities of the bigger screen and to put as many information as possible. But I am certain: the appeal of the device lies in the simplicity. The hardware is so easy that you can use it without instructions. Exactly the same must apply for the iPad software, the ECM-App. Everything must be obvious and clear.
And I think that we succeeded with the new designs – a very obvious and clear functionality. At this point, once again, many thanks to all testers and other feedback providers. It would be of interest now to see what the scenarios SAPERION’ partners will provice to their customers. I could well imagine that these will vary widely by industry.

Und wie gelangt die Saperion-App auf das iPad?
Sollen sich meine Mitarbeiter in Eigenregie die App aus dem App-Store auf ihre iPads laden?
Oder haben Sie einen gescheiteren Weg gefunden?
Hierfür hat Apple schon länger Lösungen parat: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Enterprise_Deployment_Guide.pdf Nachdem man sich für das Enterprise Developer Programm registriert hat, kann der Administrator Anwendungen entweder mittelbar über iTunes auf den iPhone OS 3.x Geräten installieren oder direkt über das iPhone Configuration Utility.
