Top 5 iPad/iPhone Database Business Applications

Posted by ACG Technologies, 03 June 2011 · 421 views

An Introduction to ACG Technologies' Database Mobility Practice for small to medium sized businesses.

Around the globe, the explosion of highly mobile “tablet-ized” applications is revolutionizing the way businesses interact with their central databases.

Filemaker Go makes information residing on a Mac or PC accessible from an iPad or iPhone
using a local wireless network or over the Internet via Wi-Fi or 4G. All changes are
instantly updated allowing you to view, edit, and search your FileMaker information from your
mobile device.  Wherever you are, you can easily view, edit and search your FileMaker Pro database
records, you can check inventory in the warehouse, manage event calendars, or update the status of a project.

Merrill Lynch is expecting Apple to sell just north of 26 million iPads during 2011.
By any measure, this is an astonishing ramp up for an entirely new computing product.
It is so startling that in other words, the iPad sold five times as much as the average
Wall Street analyst prediction.

“iPad-ization,” is more than a just a social media phenomenon;
it is fast becoming a business strategy increasingly adopted by companies to save time and money
in today’s economic environment. Worldwide there are five times more mobile phones than computers.
With an iPad or iPhone, workers on-the-go can easily view and edit records within a
central database, providing much more portability and accessibility than even a laptop.

To meet this accelerating demand, ACG Technologies is launching its new Database Mobility Practice
to assist businesses in all industries in the race to “mobile-up.”

ACG Technologies' Top 5 iPad/iPhone Database Applications:

1) Health Care Practitioners - A recent government demonstration of iPhone applications
for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) allows patients to control their health records and
gives doctors expedited access to those records.

Federal financial incentives for medical practitioners transitioning to EMR is expected to
additionally drive the market for mobile data devices such as smartphones and tablets that
enable consumers to take healthcare into their own hands.

Doctors can now securely review or share e-health records with patients, hospitals, clinics,
and emergency rooms. Significant Federal incentives are also encouraging hospitals and doctors
to centralize patient information to save money, time and improve medical outcomes.

2) Field Sales & Services - Perfect for presentations and demonstrations on the go.
Immediately respond to customer questions about product information, order status
or detailed pricing. No more “I need to call the office,” or “I’ll get back to you on that."

3) Corporate Commuters and Travelers - The world is full of corporate employees who spend
a large percentage of their time driving, walking around the corporate campus, attending meetings,
making presentations, reviewing documents or lugging a laptop to the airport. Enter the iPad!

4) Mobile IT Pros - Who says IT pros have to be boring? Carry around an iPad, and presentations,
image and effectiveness with end users takes a new turn.

5) Remote and Mobile Workers in all Walks of Life - Finally, whether you're a
field utility worker, salesperson, doctor or anyone who works remotely and needs
"always-on" access to your data, an ACG Database Mobility app can help you Go!

Tech analysts believe that the mobile-data trend will continue through the decade and holds
unrivaled potential for mobile workers in every area.
