TBS Event Confirms Usability and Scalability Critical in Enterprise Mobility Service Deployment
Mobilise Your Workforce presenters reinforce the need to involve users at every stage
DERBY, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Users of enterprise mobility solutions should be involved in each stage of solution implementation, according to a range of presenters at Mobilise Your Workforce, a seminar hosted by TBS Enterprise Mobility and Motorola.
Representatives from the construction, facilities management, fleet and automotive sectors were amongst those assembled at Microsoft’s Thames Valley Campus in Reading to discuss and share practical enterprise mobility best practice.
Steve Reynolds, Managing Director of TBS Enterprise Mobility, who co-hosted the event with Motorola, said: “Time and again our speakers came back to the basic need to consult with the field users of solutions.
“From selecting the appropriate device, as Elin Allison from Microsoft mentioned, to actively educating a large workforce like Nick Mountfield from Avis has to: if you don’t directly invest in your workforce at an early stage, then solutions may not fulfil their need.
Justin Hobbs of Motorola agreed. “You need to get users involved in planning from the start, so they can become ambassadors for system.” TBS’s Dan Sadler also claimed: “the incentive of a guaranteed 25% rise in production for pay-per-job field workers offers a significant return in itself.”
Further practical implementation guidance offered to the audience included the need to test and scale solutions.
British Car Auctions, who operate a number of cross continental vehicle auction operations, demonstrated the need to intelligently scale a regional solution for potential replication across other countries.
Avis, British Car Auctions, G4S, Microsoft, The Mobile Data Association, Morgan Est, Motorola, Quocirca and Vinci were represented at the Mobilise Your Workforce event.
