mobile professionals

The schedules of mobile professionals are often dynamic, unstructured, and unpredictable. Their work patterns are characterized by professional and personal multi-tasking in multiple environments - in the office, at the airport, in the car, on the plane, at family events, or at home. What mobile professionals need is a no-compromise computing platform on which they can rely anytime, anywhere.

The model 02 is the ideal productivity tool for mobile professionals to accomplish all their tasks in any environment. The pocket-size model 02 can be taken anywhere, and its integrated keyboard can be used while on-the-go. Because the model 02 is a fully functional computer with built-in EV-DO, mobile professionals can stay connected to email, the corporate VPN, and enterprise applications. Back at the office, it can simply slide into the OQO docking station and connected to a full monitor, keyboard, and mouse for use as a desktop computer.

sales force

Sales professionals are frequently on the road briefing prospects, winning deals, and solving technical problems at the customer site. To most effectively impact revenue, sales professionals must have the ability to access, update, and transmit customer information in real-time. And because sales professionals do not have the luxury of a traditional, four-walled office, they need to set up a virtual office anytime, anywhere they are on the road.

The model 02 empowers sales professionals with the customer insight they need to meet more prospects, respond immediately to customers, improve customer satisfaction, and increase collaboration with corporate headquarters. As a full-powered, full-featured computer, the model 02 enables complete, uncompromised access to CRM/ERP systems, email, Microsoft Office, and the other applications upon which sales professionals rely. This means sales professionals can fully modify the information and documents they access. Furthermore, through the model 02's built-in EV-DO or WiFi, the updated information can be transmitted in real-time.

With the model 02, traveling with a computer has never been easier. Because of its pocket-size form factor, the model 02 does not need to be taken out at airport security checkpoints. At a customer site, sales professionals simply use a VGA or HDMI adapter to connect the model 02 to a projector for presentations. Back in the hotel room, it can be used with the portable OQO docking station and/or foldable Bluetooth keyboard for rapid data entry.

operations management

The success of an operations organization is highly dependent on its ability to provide the most updated, accurate data to customers, partners, and suppliers. Therefore, whether managers, engineers, and other operations staff are in or away from the facilities, they need a quick and easy way to track and modify production cycles, inventory, workflow, analytics, and order status.

The model 02 offers unprecedented mobile productivity to operations organizations. Because it is a full-powered, full-featured Windows computer, the model 02 supports intensive enterprise systems (e.g., ERP,SCM,ERP) required to extract and modify information in real-time from the floor. Managers can fit the model 02 in their pocket or clipped to their pants for mobility. Data entry on-the-fly is easy with the model 02's integrated keyboard. And the magnesium chassis with shock-mounted hard drive and drop detect technology allows operations managers to work in various environments without worrying about data loss.

field service

Today's distributed enterprises are looking to extend application functionality to their field service professionals. Field service staff spend most of their time out of the office and therefore need a computing device that is lightweight but powerful enough to allow access to the same applications available at headquarters.

With the model 02, field service professionals have a fully functional, pocketable computing device that allows them to reach a new level of work productivity and effectiveness. The model 02 runs any Windows application and provides integrated mobile broadband and WiFi connectivity so that field workers can synchronize up-to-date information anytime, anywhere. To facilitate usage in various environments, the model 02 features an indoor/outdoor readable screen, a backlit keyboard, and a rugged magnesium chassis with shock-mounted hard drive and drop detect technology.

From an IT perspective, the model 02 is straightforward to maintain. Legacy Windows applications don't require porting, and writing new field service applications means using standard Windows development tools. As a result, there is no additional impact to IT support and costs.

civil service

Government and public safety officials occupy a full range of strategic fieldwork - from health inspection to law enforcement to military defense operations. In most of these scenarios, real-time and secure access to specialized software is paramount. With many applications requiring full Windows support, government and safety officials have had to lug laptop PCs onsite (sacrificing portability) or resort to PDAs (at the expense of functionality).

With the model 02, government and public safety officials have the simultaneous benefits of mobility and functionality. The model 02 supports full Windows applications, allowing users to leverage the full reach of customized applications and exchange crucial information in real-time. Additionally, the model 02 connects to any standard digital video, still camera, handheld scanner, portable printer, or pocketable GPS devices. The backlit, high-resolution display and illuminated keyboard facilitates viewing in dimly-lit environments, and the transflective screen enables outdoor viewing in full sunlight. For network connectivity, the model 02 features built-in mobile broadband and WiFi, as well as Ethernet.

field data collection

As field researchers move from site to site conducting trials and collecting data, they require a computing device to store their findings, run analytics, and transmit results to clients and business units in a timely, accurate, and consistent manner. And because they are often outside or in environments that aren't convenient for sit-down computing, field researchers need a handheld computer with easy input options.

The model 02 puts the power of a networked computer into the hands of field researchers, allowing them the ability to access and update all their research data anytime/anywhere. The full-powered, full-featured model 02 runs all the data management programs researchers use to collect data during field trials. The indoor/outdoor readable screen allows usability under various research environments, and the illuminated keyboard facilitates data entry and modifications. With integrated mobile broadband, the handheld model 02 enables field researchers to immediately transfer the data to all the relevant organizations awaiting results.
