Sell More Products And Services With A Mobile Specialist On Call
Do you want to provide your clients with a complete set of products and services (and keep your competition out)? Then, you want to offer mobile devices and mobile business productivity
solutions that integrate with your customers’ existing systems. But, successful deployments require additional skills and knowledge your staff currently may not have.
Easy To Use, Not So Easy To Deploy
A Windows Mobile Pocket PC PDA or Phone is quite compact and easy to use. It’s performance sometimes masks how difficult
it is to properly engineer an application to use the Pocket PC well. Currently released Pocket PC devices can include up to 128 megabytes of RAM, 64 megabytes of ROM program storage, 1
gigabyte of removable storage in postage stamp sized (Flash) SD memory units, multiple communication methods such as cell phone
and wireless LAN and Bluetooth. Additional features available on business grade Pocket PC's include biometric fingerprint readers for
security, barcode readers, onboard SQL server and MQ messaging services.
Considerations Beyond the Desktop
Delivering a successful and profitable result depends on having experienced, knowledgeable professionals to drive the shortest path. Trial and error can cause you to
miss deadlines and shrink your margin. New considerations for mobile application development beyond the needs of the desktop include:
- Intermittent connectivity,
- Need to continue work effectively when a network connection is not available, and,
- Different methods of user interaction, ranging from relatively subtle differences in how the user interface works, to the very noticeable lack of a full sized keyboard and mouse and
smaller screen area.
Security concerns range from protecting enterprise data as it is transmitted wirelessly, to user
authentication, to the physical loss of the unit requiring encryption of sensitive data stored in the device.
Fill the Gap While You Are Filling The Position
Has one of your key technical personnel moved on to other opportunities? If you manage
a technical team, you know that changes are inevitable. When you go to fill a position, you want
to hire the right person for the team. That can take time. Are continuing project schedule slips
causing your customer to worry about your team’s ability to deliver? Let us help you fix the problem and make forward progress while you are filling that crucial position.
