Small and Medium Sized Businesses "Mobilizing" their Data

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 22, 2011 - To the Cloud or to the iPad? A recent study by Techaisle, a research firm that tracks future business trends found that Mobile Device adoption rates are running 42 percent higher than Cloud Computing adoption rates.

Around the globe, the explosion of highly mobile “tablet-ized” applications is revolutionizing the way businesses interact with their central databases. 8 out of 10 U.S. small and medium sized businesses have implemented mobile data solutions or are planning to do so in the next year.

“iPad-ization,” is more than a just a social media phenomenon; it is fast becoming a business strategy increasingly adopted by companies to save time and money in today’s economic environment. Using iOS4, Java and other mobile access development tools with an iPad, iPhone and Androids, workers on-the-go can easily view and edit records within a central database. "The highest growth rates for spending on data mobility solutions were organizations with 10-19 employees and 100-249 employees," Techaisle said.

ACG Technologies, a leading provider of innovative software development services is launching its new  Database Mobility Practice to assist businesses in all industries in the race to “mobile-up.”

According to Ron Longfellow, ACG Business Development VP, “The primary mission of our new practice is to implement technical solutions to improve mobile-data performance for small to medium-sized organizations.” Longfellow adds, “The new ACG Database Mobility services will enable our clients to publish their databases to the web so key personnel can access real-time reports, check inventory in the warehouse, manage event calendars, or update the status of a project. Basically, run their business from virtually anywhere anytime.”

For the past decade, ACG Technologies has focused on two core areas of expertise: Database Development and Web Applications. ACG President Chris Quinn explained, "Our in-house database programmers and web developers have teamed up to create the new Database Mobility Practice utilizing mobile technologies like iOS4, JAVA, PHP, SQL Anywhere, Custom Web Publishing (CWP) and Instant Web Publishing (IWP). Devices such as iPads, iPhones, Droids and other smartphones have SDK’s which allow us to tailor applications to the platform and business needs."

Quinn continued, “This makes information residing on a PC or Mac accessible on a tablet or smartphone using a local wireless network or over the Internet via Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G. This translates to greater speed, accuracy and flexibility, any one of which is a significant competitive business advantage.”

Tech analysts believe the iPad stands next to the mobile phone and the PC as among the most important business innovations of the last 50 years. Mobile-data trends are projected to accelerate through the decade with unrivaled potential for mobile workers in every area.

Which Database Strategy is right for your business?

Navigating the rapidly changing technology environment is not easy. Techaisle categorized the responders into three groups: Aggressive Adopters, Steady Movers and Fence Sitters. Nearly 17 percent fall into the Aggressive Adopters category. They are the ones with the highest adoption rate of smartphones and tablets.
