3 Enterprise iPad Apps for People in the Field
Nov 23rd
Two new enterprise apps are debuting today that work on the iPad. Last week, Google Docs became available on the iPad.
All three apps follow a theme. They provide new ways for a mobile workforce to get work done. With an iPad, workers in the field do not have to carry a laptop or dedicated device that has limited capabilities besides what it is hard coded to do.
ServiceMax launched an iPad app today that gives service people a tool for managing their schedule, routes and the work they do for clients in the field. WatchDox is for securely sharing documents in a mobile environment. For its part, Google made good on its promise to port Google Docs to the iOS and Android platforms.

ServiceMax
ServiceMax is designed for people in the field. It gives the ability to look at work orders and tasks. Sales people can look at schedules and plan a route based upon the priority of the call.
The ServiceMax app provides driving directions and job details for the field to use for preparing to meet the order of the call. A knowledge base provides data about the client. Salesforce Chatter is integrated into the service for collaboration.
Further, the app allows the field representative to track parts and labor. Expenses can be tracked. It includes electronic signature capabilities for signing contracts and agreements. It also generates a PDF that can be emailed for record purposes.
WatchDox
WatchDox by Confidela is a document control and tracking technology together with what it calls bank-grade online storage. Downloading, editing, forwarding and printing can all be controlled through an administration platform. The administrator may revoke access any time. People receive different permissions based upon their role. Tracking provides a detailed audit trail that allows every interaction with a document to be logged, along with its time, user and location.
The WatchDox “Virtual Data Room,”allows an admin who can create and manage an unlimited number of “rooms” and folders. Each room is accessible and visible to its members only.
Google Docs for Mobile
Full co-editing capabilities are now available for mobile devices. The app has all the features of the new co-editing capabilities in Google Docs.
Is the iPad better for field representatives than a smartphone or a laptop? Particular tasks are well suited to a smartphone. For example we have seen its effectiveness for providing alerts. IT managers are using smartphones to keep constant monitor on server performance.
The full tablet environment may have a sweet spot with workers in the field market as it is more like a clipboard for marking off tasks. The tablet has the interface to watch calendars, track items and collaborate with other people. That makes it simpler to use than a smartphone and its smaller screen size.

Google Aims to Replace Credit Cards & More With the Addition of Near Field Communications to Android
Nov 16th
Google CEO Eric Schmidt just announced on stage at the Web 2.0 Summit that the next version of Android, code-named Ginger Bread, will include native support for what’s called Near Field Communication, or NFC. NFC is a short-range, high-frequency wireless technology which lets devices, primarily mobile phones, communicate with other NFC devices in order to exchange data.
As ReadWriteWeb’s Sarah Perez explained in her coverage of Apple’s NFC moves this Summer, this allows for a number of applications including mobile ticketing, mobile payment, e-money, electronic keys, smart billboards and more. Apple has filed a number of NFC patents, but the technology is expected to drive growth throughout the mobile market. Native NFC support in Android now is a big deal.

Nokia and Symbian have both been reported to be set to launch NFC technology early next year as well.
Mobile commerce, “tap to pay,” was the primary use-case discussed by Schmidt, but Tim O’Reilly pointed out on stage that the technology is really capable of transmitting any kind of information. “Bump, for everything,” he called it. Schmidt concurred.
Hopefully Gingerbread will include a healthy API for access to the NFC technology and developers will see opportunities to build more than just commerce systems. Schmidt said on stage today that the Gingerbread release date will be within the next two weeks.
