Natural Task Support™: Designing Mobile Computing Devices That Improve Worker Productivity
Providing mobile workers with computing devices that assist them in the field creates great opportunities to improve productivity. To be most effective, mobile computing devices must not only perform the tasks they are required to do, but also be designed to meet the needs, abilities, and limitations of workers and their work environments. This means ergonomics, a scientific discipline that concerns itself with finding the perfect fit between people and their work to improve employee job satisfaction. Find out how an ergonomically designed device contributes to making mobile workers happier and more productive in their jobs.
Ruggedness: How Do You Know If Your Mobile Computing Device Will Withstand Your Tough Environment?
Providing mobile workers with computing devices that help them do their job in the field creates great opportunities to improve organizational efficiency and productivity. When deploying into mobile environments, ruggedness is a key consideration - not only must devices be able to support the application, they must also withstand the physical challenges inherent to potentially tough environments. Learn valuable insights to help evaluate the ruggedness of a mobile device and determine its fit for a given scenario.

Rugged vs. Commercial: Considering the Total Cost of Ownership Of Handheld Devices
Find out why rugged devices are found to deliver a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership than many commercial devices when used in industrial applications. Higher ruggedness minimizes lost productivity, delivers lower device failure rates and wireless transmission failures, and a results in significantly higher percentage of maintenance covered by warranty. Learn about all the factors that are critical in your buying decision for a mobile computing device.
Overcoming Mobile Enterprise Security Challenges
Increasingly powerful feature sets and rich functionality are driving the wide-spread use of mobile devices. Mobile workforces are taking advantage of mobile devices to remotely access confidential emails, spreadsheets, databases, customer data, order information, credit card data, medical history and patient information among other sensitive corporate data. Potential security loopholes are increasing, as are the associated costs and liability. Find out how you can protect your organization against potential security challenges posed by mobile enterprise deployments.
