Mobile Technology Solutions for Today's Mobile Workforce

The concept of the mobile workforce has dramatically challenged the traditional methods in which employees analyze documents and interact with data. As more and more workers become equipped with mobile devices, organizations enjoy a wide range of benefits including enhanced data collection and accuracy, improved data quality and flow, and more accountability for work processes and task assignments. With these kinds of benefits, there is an increasing demand for government officials to embrace new mobile technologies.

In addition government agencies are being pressured to take on increasing levels of responsibilities and tasks without increasing headcount. As a result, government agencies are examining ways in which to become more efficient — mobile computing solutions can significantly contribute to this by improving the exchange of vital information with field personnel, employees, and citizens-and to automate critical business processes.

Accela Wireless is designed to meet the needs of government agencies by taking mobile workforces out of their offices and into the field, where staff can manage inspections, investigations, code enforcement, work orders, and service requests. For example, Accela Wireless allows field inspectors to directly access data stored in the backend land management system using the most current information available. Inspectors can input inspection results from the field and immediately update the Accela Automation database. In the field, workers need the high-speed of broadband plus a wireless connection. Tropos provides the leading metro Wi-Fi solution and enables mobile workers to connect to the network from a wide range of standard 802.11 and 4.9GHz client devices. This combined Accela and Tropos solution saves time in the field because case, application, and permitting data, including schedule updates, are available to inspectors at all times from anywhere around town.
