Verizon and SAP America are supposed to deliver SAP's Customer Relationship Management rapid-deployment solution to enterprise workers through Verizon's Computing as a Service cloud.

The SAP widgetry offers a ready-to-use combination of software, pre-defined services and pre-configured content at a pre-defined price that can be deployed sometimes in as little as eight weeks.

Users will be able to access the stuff from their desktops or mobile devices via SAP's bought-in Sybase Unwired Platform.

Customers can pay per user, per month for the application, the cloud hosting services, infrastructure and management services.

Verizon launched an application management service a year ago January that offers enterprises end-to-end management of SAP applications and delivery platforms with custom service-level guarantees that extend beyond server and application availability to include transaction and business-process metrics.
