- 2. What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand. What is Mobility? This is the use of portable computing devices that can run on batteries but are not usually classified as laptops: • Portable Computers • Tablet PCs • PDAs • Netbooks • Smartphones The Mobility Cloud Combining the power of cloud computing with the freedom and functionality of mobile devices can give enterprises access to a wide range of key benefits, including increased reliability, real-time updates, device-agnostic applications and more. Research continually highlights the exponential growth in the number of mobile services using the cloud and the number of mobile phone users that access applications through the cloud - predicted to rise from 42.8 million in 2008 to almost 1 billion by 2014.

- 3. Determining A Solution For Your Business The first step in our consulting methodology is a thorough Needs Analysis. Our consultants bring years of facilities management, workforce automation and technology knowledge to your implementation. We will work with key players in your organization to create a plan that includes your goals, establishing data sources, and recommendations for implementation scope and timeline. Some of the information gathered during this step includes: • Evaluation of legacy systems and processes for space management, move, asset inventory, lease and property management, work order, preventative maintenance and CAD activities • Brainstorming and determination of desired goals • Interviews with key organizational contacts • Recommendations for complete system implementation The second step in our consulting methodology is Implementation. Once the Needs Analysis is complete our team can help guide your organization through the implementation process. A thorough understanding and execution of our systems implementation includes several aspects such as: Database and Systems Integration A successful implementation should integrate and share data from and with different sources throughout your organisation. Our systems can talk to your internal scheduling databases and link them to other systems in your organisation to increase the effectiveness and distribute the benefits of your system. Product and Framework Configuration Although our solutions are robust and highly configurable, we understand that you may not have the resources to make the solution integrate with your business processes. We can help you configure your solution and develop the necessary business frameworks to your specific needs to further develop the unique preferences at your organisation. The inherent flexibility of the hardware and software design guarantees configurations will migrate to future versions, ensuring your investment will last and easily accommodate future demands as they arise. Custom Reporting The internal reporting engine provided our solutions is ideal for generating a wide range of reports with its highly intuitive, streamlined and flexible layout. However, we recognize that some organisations want to develop much more complicated reports. So we can create custom reports by integrating with advanced reporting tools and information systems such as SAP. The third and final step of the process is ... Project Management and After Sales Support We can provide complete Project Management services to help with all aspects of your implementation and thereafter. The team assigned to your project will be with you every step of the way, offering guidance and assistance to help get your solution running smoothly and quickly. Personal attention to our clients and client satisfaction are core principles for us and our Professional Services team is highly trained and competent. As well as help with the implementation of the hardware and software we also provide Technical support and services on all hardware. We do a variety of response times varying from same day to workshop. Once a Needs Analysis is conducted, our consultants can assist in managing your implementation by setting up a project schedule and monitor deadlines to help ensure a successful and timely implementation. Types of Solutions VisionID are partners with some of the biggest manufacturers of Mobile Computers in the World, in particular, Motorola, Intermec and Honeywell. There are solutions from all three providers that range in price, complexity, durability, usability and productivity. The needs analysis that we conduct will help determine the best handheld for your solution. Just like the hardware element, the software comes in a variety of solutions. There are simple, straight forward “out-of-the- box” type solutions. These cover all the basic needs that any business could have. But, thinking outside the box, VisionID with the help of In2Sequence can provide a solution tailored to your every need. Every company’s needs are different and “out-of-the-box” just won’t suffice for some needs. The needs analysis will suggest, what exactly is needed for us to provide the perfect platform. The solution can be as complex as needed while remaining user friendly and in particular having the ability to integrate with existing systems with as little interruption as possible.
