Maximizing Field Productivity With PointBase Mobile Solutions

Fieldworker Products Limited, based in Toronto, Canada, is a major developer of utilities and toolkits for data collection performed by mobile professionals in government and industry. Utilized by integrators, software developers and corporations across a number of markets, the company's products provide the ability to easily build fast, powerful and cost-effective custom solutions for collecting information on the road and synchronizing that information back to corporate databases. Workers in the field can capture and synchronize mobile data as electronic forms; or exchange mapping, GPS and digital photo information.

Fieldworker knew it needed a small, fast database and synchronization capability that could be easily integrated into their Java-based products. In order to accomplish these goals, Fieldworker selected PointBase Micro, a platform-independent, relational database written entirely in Java and optimized for mobile environments. This robust product has an ultra-compact footprint, includes comprehensive security and can be embedded directly into mobile applications while remaining transparent to the end user.
