Are You Getting The Most Out Of Your Tablet PC Deployment?

This article by Derek Oja at MobileDemand provides some questions you can ask yourself to determine if you are truly capitalizing on your tablet PC investment. You may have already invested in tablet PCs to streamline processes and boost productivity in the office or in the field, but are you really getting the most out of your current solution?

Rugged tablet PCs can improve productivity of field technicians and other employees by reducing their stress and headaches. This results in cost and time savings, all helping to generate additional revenue.

 Here are two questions from the article you can ask yourself about your tablet PC investment:

• Are your technicians still doing paperwork? Automating work in the field eliminates redundant, time-wasting tasks back in the office, too. If field personnel are still filling out work orders or generating invoices by hand, that’s a problem.
• Are you still purchasing pre-printed forms? Converting to electronic “paperwork” using a tablet PC should enable you to eliminate recurring expenses for supplies like this. Those savings can add up significantly over the year.

Mobile printers and tablet PCs with integrated printing capability can provide enormous value to field technicians, allowing them to print an invoice on the spot and review it with the customer. If the tablet PC is equipped with credit card processing capability, payments can even be accepted at the point of service.
