You are an IT consultant advising a building inspection company that conducts home inspections throughout your state
The company wishes to switch to primarily mobile computing, so that inspectors can finalize reports without having to return to the office, but they are not sure how to go about this. What will be your advice?
An example answer is: To support the use of multiple mobile devices, including employee devices, the company will need to configure its networks to receive connections from these devices, and create an inventory of all mobile devices authorized for access. They will also need to track what company information is being stored on these devices. If the information stored on employee's personal devices is highly confidential, they may want to consider the additional expense of purchasing work-only mobile devices. I would also ask the company what types of applications would be used in order to determine if tablet computers, netbooks, or smartphones will be best, as the operating systems for these devices differ. They may also want to consider mobile device management software to monitor and manage their mobile devices. It is probably best to sit down with the company and review the home inspection workflow and data needs in detail and determine how mobile computing would be employed most efficiently.
