Situation
Salespeople need access to information while they are in the field. Field service needs information about customers when they are on site. More and more people need information that is stored electronically in the organization when they are away from their desks. Many organizations are turning to PDAs such as Palm and PocketPC, but they haven't figured out how to get their information to these devices effectively. The apps they do have are nearly unusable on the smaller screens of PDAs.
Issues
Why does that happen? Some possible reasons:
- The devices don't get synchronized often enough
- Applications take too long to roll out
- Developers aren't experienced in developing for this new platform
- Developers aren't used to designing for the smaller screens
- There is no company standard for PDA - Palm or PocketPC
You need real time synchronization with your central systems. You need apps that are usable on the smaller screens of PDAs. You want apps that work on Palm or PocketPC. You want them done this year, not in 2 years.
