Business and the Mobile Phone - A Match Made in Heaven

March 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Over the past few decades, the development of mobile phone technology has been quite astounding to say the least. Not so long ago, mobile phones were unwieldy and expensive novelties, usually owned by ostentatious yuppies. Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone, and they're not just used for making calls. As well as text messages and emails, mobile phones are now capable of taking photographs, running video games, and handling complex applications.



As mobile phone technology has become more sophisticated, mobiles have become increasingly important in the world of business, particularly for companies that employ remote workers. Advances in computing technology have also seen the emergence of the Personal Digital Assistant, which has enhanced the operational possibilities of remote working even further. A standard PDA takes all the fundamental functions of a computer, and makes them available in a portable handheld device, which is perfect for field workers who need regular access to basic office utilities. Mobile workforce management has always been a tricky proposition, with companies often finding it difficult to monitor and control the activities of field workers. However, improving mobile technologies have allowed for the development of complex workforce management software, which not only makes mobile workforce management easier, but also improves operating efficiency as well.



Whether your remote workers use mobile phones or PDAs, mobile workforce solutions are now available for a variety of different formats, and cover almost any operational process imaginable. Many mobile workforce management services are built around bespoke form-based applications, such as the WorkMobile service from eSAY.(http://www.esay-solutions.co.uk) These allow formobile data capture by remote workers, which is uploaded to a host server for immediate access at the customer's office location. Data capture solutions are available for almost any modern mobile phone or PDA platform, which negates the need for any costly upgrades to existing mobile hardware. Many mobile data collection utilities allow customers to create their own unique forms, collate timesheets for remote workers, generate detailed and comprehensive reports, and much more.



Operational efficiency has always been vital to any organisation, but in the world of international business management, flexibility and mobility are hugely important as well. Traditional mobile workforce management problems are now becoming a thing of the past, as mobile phone and PDA solutions are making it possible to seamlessly conduct business operations with staff located anywhere in the world. With mobile workforce management software available from a variety of different sources, it's not hard to find a service provider that can meet your business requirements. The only remaining question is, how long do you wait before your business gets left behind?
