What is Mobile Data Now?

Mobile Data Now connects your mobile workforce to your company information, then lets them access that data by simply using email, SMS text messaging or instant messaging.

People send a message with their query and Mobile Data Now sends the results back instantly.




Why use email, sms or instant messaging to access data?

Traditionally, mobile software has tried to re-create the desktop experience on to mobile devices, but it just doesn't work very well. People just don't have time to download and learn new programs, enter passwords, navigate menus and use the applications to get their info. Fortunately, everyone knows how to send a message and fortunately all mobile devices have inbuilt messaging applications.

Its future proof because it uses the messaging tools already on phones, so you'll save money on phones and time on user training.

Sending a message is far quicker and more intuitive to everyone. It only takes a few seconds to send a message with a query and receive the results back using messaging.


People can use it immediately because no software needs to be installed on their phones so they won't need to learn anything new. Any phone will work, there's no need to buy expensive new PDA's or phones.




How can I use Mobile Data Now?

Data access can be provided to two different types of users; Named users and the general public.


Named Users Your mobile workforce such as staff, suppliers, customers etc, need permissions and are authenticated before data is sent to them, while public users (anyone) have access to any data setup for general purpose.


Example 1, Named Users: A salesperson requests info from his company database via his Blackberry and is sent the info back immediately.



Example 2, Named Users: A parts supplier gives mobile access to all their customers so they can text message part numbers to see if they are in stock and then order if necessary. This saves the company time and money by not answering the phone and saves the customer valuable time by being able to query the parts database directly.




Example 3, Public Users: Prospective purchasers get info about a real estate property immediately by text messaging the house address. The realtor is able to capture the prospective purchaser's contact information and can be used to follow up the interest in the property.



Example 4, Public Users: A cinema uses Mobile Data Now so people can text 'movies' to a number and get a reply with the relevant movies for that day. They can then drill down further about individual movies.
