About This Book

Every day, more and more of your enterprise – along with its data and transactions – is moving to the frontlines where you interact directly with your customers. The frontlines present a key opportunity for your business to gain a competitive advantage, by having the information and applications necessary to take decisive action when you need to. Technology is used at the frontlines in situations such as:

• A salesperson getting a customer to sign for the samples just received – using a handheld device.

• A police officer with a laptop in her vehicle, able to access a database of criminal information while on patrol.

• A field service engineer referring to a laptop that provides information on specific parts needed – so that he can fix the customer’s problem the first time.

• A retail salesperson in a store checking stock levels and processing transactions with a handheld point-of-sale device.

• A health worker having up-to-date patient information – whether beside the bed in hospital or visiting the patient in her home.
