Give your field personnel a low-cost mobility solution that can make their jobs easier

When government inspectors, parole agents, Health and Human Services (HHS) workers, and law enforcement officials must repeatedly return to their main offices to manage the data they use and collect, they lose valuable time that could be spent on activities directly related to agency objectives. Your agency can reduce the paperwork and travel time of field personnel significantly by equipping them to retrieve and record data from remote locations.

Agencies that want to deliver a mobility solution to their civil service field personnel face a number of challenges, including:

Limited IT budgets and staff to devote to implementing and managing a new solution.
Disparate technologies and third-party software that don’t share data.
Minimal time for busy field personnel to get up to speed on new software.

With Microsoft smart client and Web services technologies, you can use mobile devices powered by the Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Mobile, and Windows Embedded CE operating systems to deliver a low-cost mobility solution that gives your field employees instant access to the agency’s centralized databases—from any location.

A mobility solution based on Microsoft smart client and Web services technologies easily integrates with your existing software and computing environments and can be deployed on a variety of mobile devices, including Tablet PCs, PDAs, Windows Mobile smartphones, and Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs). Armed with a mobility solution, field workers can:

Use the Internet to access the agency network from the field and download or upload any information they need.
Adapt quickly to familiar, easy-to-use interfaces, without lengthy training sessions or interruptions in productivity.
Flexibly perform their business tasks, in an occasionally connected manner, without the need to be constantly tied to the agency network.

No matter what type of civil service your agency performs, a low-cost Microsoft mobility solution can give your field personnel the support they need to focus on serving and protecting citizens—instead of on paperwork and administrative activities.

If it’s vital to government, it’s mission critical to Microsoft.
