continue to dominate in the majority

of workplaces.

Lets accept this fact and

move on with our

discussion.

Business Drivers



Todays Mobile Device is all encompassing• The Written word• The Spoken word• The Moving Picture• The Wireless• The World Wide Web

•Of all the time a typical user spends on a mobile device, less than 20% is actually spent making a phone call.

The Age of the Mobile ?

“It's easier for a rich man to ride that camel through the eye of a needle directly into the Kingdom of Heaven, than for some of us to give up our cell phone.” Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration



Reasons to go Mobile Devices

• Work on Site• Scanner• GPS• Also Voice & Video

• Mobiles can Provide a singleInterface to

multiple systems

• Remove Paper• Attach Photos• Single Device• To hand

• Info Push & Pull• Device = SpecificPerson• 24-7

• Seen to be usingthe current state ofthe art

• Analysis• Alerts• Decisions• Replanning



Developing a Mobile Solution

Before you make any decisions;•Be clear on the purpose and desired outcome, no point in just saying we want everything!•State clearly what your objective is e.g. “Capture Sales Orders”•Where can you add value, rather than just add devices?

Realising;•Build quickly and efficiently•Custom is good, off the shelf could be more effective?•Look to make a difference rather than createa big splash !• Stay true to your objectives

Scoping;•Set Targets which are Realistic•You cant do it all, or can you?•Do I need to pick a specific Device?



Timelines;Mobile Implementations are not large scale, resource intensive experiences. We regularly realise Customer expectations within 3 months of engagement. Typical Mobile Implementations have the following phases each requiring different levels of business input;

•Design- System mapping, solution design, user interface specification (2 weeks)

•Build- Technical build, system connection, integration testing (4-8 weeks)

•Deployment- Training, Pilot deployment followed by Roll-out (2-4 weeks)

•Support- Is it a Fix or a Change? (2-4 weeks)

Timelines of a Mobile Implementation



Whilst difficult to put a Cost v Benefits case together, as every business is different, lets consider the following rough numbers;

•Off the Shelf Application, 5 Users, 3 year Licence-Implementation costs c£40,000 which equates to £8,000 per user (= £2,660 per yr)-If Application saves 1 hr/day @ £11/hr; Saving >£8,000 / user (approx £2,800/yr)-If Application saves 3 hrs/day @£11/hr; Saving> £24,000 /user (approx £8,000 in Yr 1)

•Off the Shelf Application, 20 Users, 3 year Licence-Implementation costs c£50,000 which equates to £2,500 per user (= £830 per yr)-Same cost savings

•Off the Shelf Application, 100 Users, 3 year Licence-Implementation costs c£100,000 which equates to £1,500 per user (= £330 per yr)-Same cost savings

Cost v Benefits ?



Example: Mobile Salesforce

Business Problems;•Mobile Salesperson needs up to date access to source information such as Customer & Stock records•Order taking in real-time to reserve stock and reduce need for paper processing

Solution Offering;•Our Mobile Salesforce solution is a suite ofApplications to deliver the following functions;

Record physical actions and movements for the salesperson Meet a Customer Review Customer Details (Information) Confirm Stock availability Capture Customer’s Sales Order Review Customer Accounts Receivable



Business Impacts of remaining Static;• Technology is an enabler, what are you not enabled to do ?• Will your competitors be more agile, effective and affordable ?• 1 day is a long time to be out of the office without an update• 1 day later is a long time to review shift patterns and

performance stats• Customers don’t write letters anymore and wait for Royal Mail,

they want to know now• Cost of waiting till you return to your desk?• Cost of replanning a day ?• Mobile Working = Work Life Balance = Types of employees you

attract?
