Andrew Dawson, Technical Director, Integral Mobile Data
Mobile Computing solutions are a means to Business transformation, not an end in itself. Organisations that take the right strategic approach to what they want to achieve and how, can optimise their investments and cut through the complex technical and business challenges involved.
- PEST factors affecting the long-term plans across the organization.
- User buy-in to both the technology and changed working practices
- Security and OTA system management.
- Integration of data for a services-orientated approach with legacy systems – for example in the context of integrating services to citizens through single points of delivery points, in Social Care and Regulatory Enforcement.
- Adaptability, scaleabilty and extensibility – business processes are dynamic and needs will change; new possibilities will emerge; supporting technology is constantly evolving.
- And therefore, Total Cost of Ownership – On-costs to adapt to change can vary hugely.
