“Tablets Take Over”
Mobile Enterprise has an article about the rise of tablets as a replacement for PCs and what the future holds. Here are a few bits of wisdom.
Gartner says the decrease in PC shipments is a reflection of a long-term change in user behavior, mainly from the adoption of replacement devices like the tablet.
For corporate purchases, iPad is the top choice at 77%.
Vishal Jain, Analyst, Mobile Services for 451 Research says the entire business process is being transformed. “With a connected tablet, the process is faster and that’s pushing the business process to change itself. You can take a snapshot of what’s happening in real time, update it and get information right back. You don’t have to go through the process of collecting information from disparate sources, aggregating it and pushing it through a manual process. All the data is there and this makes a big impact.”
Figure out what processes are inefficient. For example, any field function that is paper based — especially sales and service — in nearly any vertical, benefits. Tablet solutions are replacing paper and streamlining the workflow — from adjusting schedules and checking locations, to work order and product management, signature capture, data monitoring and real-time collaboration.
That’s exactly what Q-Scribe does for the geotechnical/construction materials testing firm – it takes a very inefficient paper-based process, streamlines the workflow, and makes the process faster and much more efficient and it empowers field staff with data and information available at their fingertips.
