Data gathered from field mobility isn’t impactful unless you know how to digest it and put it to work for you.

As field-based data capture has evolved over the last 30 years, it has solved a multitude of business challenges across various industries and driven greater efficiencies by moving out to the network edge. New enterprise-class devices and taskspecific applications allow mobile workers to improve productivity, efficiency, and have a greater impact on the bottom line. And with continued innovation, like embedded GPS, telemetry, and wide-area connectivity, it has never been easier to collect business-critical data. Big Data is indeed changing how companies work.
