Enhancing Business Mobility with Pen Computing
For years pen-enabled computing devices have enjoyed great success and acceptance in highly vertical industries like delivery services, auditing and POS. The primary limitations of early pen computing devices, which were the hurdles to early mainstream adoption, were the power limitations of the devices, no stable OS environment for application development, and the lack of a keyboard for traditional input. Now, with the availability of Windows XP Tablet PC edition and Vista, which are both pen-enabled operating systems, the flexibility afforded by dual function convertible notebooks and a host of third-party applications, pen computing has expanded into areas like healthcare, insurance, education, retail, and sales force automation. What used to be strictly vertical has now caught on as a preferred alternative to standard notebooks. Is now the right time for you to consider pen computing? To find out, listen to this TechRepublic Webcast, now available on demand and featuring Paul Moore, Senior Director of Product Marketing for Fujitsu Computer Systems.
The Power of the Pen
More than at any other time in the history of personal computing solutions, pen computing today provides performance and flexibility that is opening doors for all types of industries and users. What used to be strictly a vertical technology, used primarily in healthcare and insurance, is becoming horizontal and finding a home in education, sales force automation, and a host of other applications. This transition is no coincidence. As more and more workers become mobile, the ease of use and accuracy provided by the pen is taking the industry by storm. This white paper discusses why so many businesses today are deciding to take advantage of pen computing, its advantages over standard notebook computers, the industries that are best suited to pen computing, the types of form-factors and other choices available, and how pen-enabled computers can benefit all types of users and the types of work they do.
