I need to work while on the go

I work in the office, at home, in hotels, and at my client's office. I make presentations to all kinds of people, prospects, customers, and team members. I need to work with a certain agility. I need a tool that will let me get my work done easily when I'm in the office and keep me going and connected when I'm not. Is there some way I can leverage what we already have and still make it easier to manage my business?

If this sounds like you, we can help. Most businesses have some workers who need a mobile computing platform that matches up their business needs and is easy to use and maintain out in the field. Our technology solutions focus on solving these problems; so here's what you'll need and how we can help.

Pick a Platform

There are many platforms available for mobile computing. The traditional notebook/laptop is the popular platform and is starting to replace the desktop as the primary computing platform (even in the office). Outfitted with security features, this system packs the power of the desktop into a mobile secure multipurpose computing platform. Click here for more information about laptops from Hewlett Packard.

Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are the ultimate mobile computing device. A little larger than a cell phone, these devices provide smaller versions of common productivity tools and accept input from a pen device (stylist) or small keyboard. When you return to the office, drop the device into a cradle and synchronize data with your desktop computer. Click here for more information about PDAs from Hewlett Packard.

Tablet computers are combining the portability of notebooks with the functionality of pen based systems (PDAs). These systems have a "convertable" feature of functioning as a regular laptop with input from a keyboard and mouse (pointer) to a full pen based system with input from the stylist and handwriting recognition.

Slate computers are keyboardless systems. Lighter than a tablet but bigger and more powerful than a PDA, this class of mobile computing platform offers the most demanding user the most mobile of platforms. Our favorite in this category are the systems from Motion Computing.

Desktop replacements

Mobile computers are rivaling desktops in power and performance. By adding a docking station, keyboard, mouse, and monitor, the mobile user can use one system for two purposes. Adding accessories for traveling like extra batteries, cases, cables, etc. will enhance the overall user experience.

Security

Since the mobile device may contain confidential information, concern should be given to security. Some mobile platforms offer built in biometric devices to authenticate users. Another security measure is to encrypt the data on the hard drive. Theft protection and asset recovery solutions are also availble.
