More Reasons to Go Mobile
April 29th, 2010 by adminDo you have an iPhone? A Blackberry? Read these comments from the editor of Integrated Solutions Magazine:
Armed with just about any new smartphone, personal users employ technologies that would make many small service companies jealous. Accessing a personal Word or PDF document is no different from accessing a customer contract, invoice, or product data. Scanning bar codes (1-D and 2-D) for retail savings or loyalty programs is no different from scanning bar codes on field inventory or installed parts. Watching a video snippet of a television show on YouTube is no different from watching a short instruction video or training tip. Receiving turn-by-turn directions to the mall is no different from using GPS technology to better route your field employees to customer sites.
The parallels could go on (e.g. text messaging, scheduling, appointment reminders, payment transactions), but the message seems pretty clear: We find the resources to put personal technologies in place, but we don’t always find the resources to put enterprise technologies in place. Well, if you’re a small to midsize company with field employees, the time to deploy enterprise mobility solutions is clear. It’s now.
