DE-RISKING ENTERPRISE MOBILITY

Mobile Computing Solutions vs Tablets

What defines a true mobile computing solution for a field worker?

Why your users/clients are asking for Tablets

• Customers are demanding anytime access to data, and real-time

availability of information

• Users are more comfortable with touch displays because of

smartphones, kiosks, etc.

• BYOD is proliferating the landscape
• Consumer applications targeted at tablets are common and frankly

quite valuable to the consumer, not necessarily the enterprise

• Blurred lines between tablet, phone, reader
• Expectations are high ……. Can you deliver?

• Battery life
• Consumer devices are focused on form more than battery life
• Enterprise users are asking for more
• Security
• Enterprises require a high level of security
• VPN compatibility
• Connectivity
• Consumers willing to hunt for connectivity
• Enterprise users demand it and expect it to be ubiquitous
• Financial planning
• Consumers receive rebates from carriers and purchase with a one to two year horizon
• Enterprises must show ROI and often need a 3 to 4 year life span, not generally considered a companion

device.

• Migration Strategies
• Consumers will dispose of technology and adopt totally new technology if they believe it has value to them
• Enterprises must judge technology on a broader scale

• Rugged
• If I drop my iPad shame on me
• If my corporate issued device breaks shame on IT
• Accessories
• Consumers will fashion their own solution spending significant dollars and still say the device
• nly cost them $700.00
• Enterprise users must use the accessory kit selected for all
• Application
• Consumers will and are able to purchase, try and discard many applications until they find one

that works. They will teach themselves how to use it.

• Enterprise applications must work out of the gate. Users expect and need training and support
• Workflow
• To a consumer double sided tape or Velcro is a docking solution
• Enterprises demand safe, complicated docking solutions

“In the office I use the tablet for drafting, email, PDF, printing, Excel, Word. In the field I us the tablet as a data collector for my total station, it’s my mobile blueprint table (I am able to keep all blueprints, RFI’s, Submittals, Specs with me at all time). I am able to pull up any dimensions or details that are asked of me by any of my subs on sight.” SpawGlass Construction

Our biggest competition is not Apple, it’s still pen and paper

Are your applications mobile friendly

• Can I see it?
• Can I use it while I’m doing what they pay me to do?
• There are no clouds where I am
• I have gloves on while I work
• How do I enter a lot of text without a keyboard?
• It is critical to know what the application requirements are

• Field workers work in different environments
• Office
• Vehicle
• Field
• Different applications are used at different

times and places

• Different device functionality is required at

different times

• Peripherals need to be added, removed and
• r integrated for different workflow elements

Why do projects fail?

Why do projects fail?

Successful 17% Challenged 53% Failed 30% In a landmark 1995 study, the Standish Group established that only about 17% of IT projects could be considered “fully successful”, another 53% were “challenged” (they didn't meet budget, quality

• r time goals) and 30%

were “impaired or failed”.

• Poor or ambiguous

• Confusing or

changing requirements

• Poor design or

inappropriate use of new technology

resources
