Mobile Working : Smart Clients

The evolution of new and ever more powerful mobile computing and communication devices is allowing organizations to benefit from new business opportunities that are enabled in part through more connected customers, partners, and employees. A major part of today’s computing relies on the power of the Web and related technologies, particularly Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which presents remote data to users without them having to worry about the details of how content was created.

DEVELOP INTELLIGENT MOBILE APPLICATIONS QUICKLY AND EASILY

A new product from IEG4 Limited, mFormWizard, enables quick and easy development of intelligent, fully validated Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 applications, through a user-focused drag-and-drop design environment.      Multi-page forms utilise validation and business logic and perform multiple actions on submission.
 
mFormWizard enables organisations to rapidly develop their own forms meaning that mobile workers and their customers can benefit quickly from the transformational changes that mobile working can deliver.
 
Mobile working provides employers, employees and customers with a number of benefits:

• Reduction in travelling times to and from an office means that customers benefit from faster response times and more time interacting with staff. The productivity gains associated with this alone are generally estimated at between 20% and 30% increase in productivity
• Information collected in the field can populate back office systems directly removing the need for re-keying which provides further efficiency savings
• Applications can be built utilising the same ‘look and feel’ as existing back office systems ensuring maximum productivity from day one
• The security of field-based staff is enhanced through wireless links back to the office which can be used to monitor staff where necessary
• Data is secured and encrypted even if device is stolen
• Use of mobile forms reduces the use and need for storage of paper and the associated administrative costs
• The use of electronic forms reduces paperwork which realises an associated reduction in administrative costs
• Forms developed using mFormWizard may be used on any hardware device running Windows Mobile.
