This deployment clearly involved a mobile user interface -- that's what the sales reps experienced and why they left. It's also clear that SAP was talking up Avon's sales-rep-facing app back in 2011 at Sapphire. I don't...

I think it solves a major problem with Instagram -- how to share pictures of something you attended without offending those who weren't invited. My kids are Instagram users, and this is a real issue -- do you post a picture...
