	WHAT ARE PALM APPLICATIONS?

Custom Palm Applications

from Objectware enable employees to reference and update enterprise data beyond the physical limitations of offices and cables.

Palm handhelds can store thousands of company data records such as customer contacts, appointments, e-mails, sales opportunities and service calls. Employees can use applications on a Palm handheld to reference and update these records in their office, at a customer site, during a service call or during transit.

While away from the office, data is transferred wirelessly between enterprise data and the Palm handheld. When back at the office, data can also be transferred by a cable connected to a PC and software called a conduit. Both wireless communication (using Web Services and SOAP) and local cable based conduit use Palm's technology to update new, modified and deleted records between the Palm handheld and the enterprise data. Properly written synchronization software will also resolve data conflicts between the handheld and the enterprise data.

Objectware can help you in both Palm application development and the processes that connect data between your hand held and the corporate server on which data ultimately resides.

	IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY

Employee productivity increases and data is always up-to-date when your employees aren't required to enter data on paper and then re-enter the data into electronic format. Data accuracy and data availability are the two biggest benefits from a Palm software application. You can essentially eliminate all errors related to re-entry of data.

	SPEND LITTLE CAPITAL

With diminishing hardware cost Palm handhelds starting below $100 per unit, the barrier to entry into the mobile data world present a true new business opportunity. Technology that was the luxury of big business with large budgets is now available to any business of any size with minimal technological investment.

	USAGE SCENARIO:

Just imagine, your employee arrives at your client's office, all information is available on his/her Palm Enabled smart phones. Contact information, background, historical orders and notes are all available on the Palm of your agents' hands strengthening you and your employees against your competition.

Imagine a Sales Person conversing with a prospect concerning a specific product. He/she can reference product's specifications and find through sales history a reference to use as testimonial. Should your customer wish to place an order right there and then, your sales rep can easily place the order, process payment, capture signature and update inventory and communicate the new purchase to your warehouse for fulfillment and shipment.

Because the custom Palm software, developed by Objectware Inc, is designed for quick response, prospects, customers and employees alike are more effective and satisfied than ever. You can easily see how you can now perform more with less.
