Mobility Solutions

Overview

While 'Mobility' is a broad term covering a host of applications, Digital Matter focuses on solutions which address inefficiencies in existing business processes - typically paper based solutions - rather than developing new processes. The ability to empower and mobilise workforces is now within the reach of just about any sized organisation, not just large multi-nationals. This is largely due to the convergence of three main factors:

Hardware - Mobile devices ranging from GPRS enabled PDA's (iMate, HTC) to ruggedised scanners (Symbol, Intermec, Datalogic, Psion Teklogix) are readily available to address virtually any application. Digital Matter works with the industry leaders in all hardware options and we have successfully deployed solutions across all leading hardware platforms.

Microsoft OS - with all major hardware Vendors standardising their Operating Systems to Microsoft platforms (PPC, CE.Net, WM5, WM6) we have the ability to develop and deploy solutions quickly and cost effectively using our tried and tested solution toolkits. Solutions are also 'future-proofed' as new releases are compatible with previous versions. Our developers have extensive .Net Framework experience enabling us to deliver practical user friendly solutions to mobile devices.

Data coverage and costs - South Africa has one best and most extensive Cellular coverage maps in the world. This, in conjunction with ever decreasing Data call costs allows mobility solutions to generate very real and attractive ROI's. Several solutions deployed by Digital Matter have been justified by the saving on telephony costs alone.
