Do You Need ROI Data To Cost-Justify Your PDA
Deployment Proposal?
You've made the purchase and taken
delivery of a new bunch of PDAs. Now, it's time to remove the
shrink-wrap and get to work. From retail sales to the health care
industry, businesses in many industries are realizing rapid, high ROIs
from their handheld computing strategies.
According to Marc Robins, TMC™ vice
president and group editorial director, "The latest research into
the relative cost of ownership of various types of enterprise computer
systems, PDAs represent one-fifth the annual cost of a laptop computer
and the value they offer in terms of increased productivity and
efficiency is an order of magnitude greater."
In this age of heightened fiscal
prudence, every new proposed technology purchase is being scrutinized
and deliberated. Projects that are unable to demonstrate a short-term
ROI are increasingly being postponed and even cancelled. On the other
hand, purchases and initiatives that promise significant productivity
increases coupled with a quick ROI are still passing muster - especially
those that involve handheld computing and mobility.
From installing and setting up essential
programs, optimizing the platform for specific business applications,
discovering programming shortcuts, and learning the basics of
synchronization, it's important that you take all the necessary steps to
effectively jumpstart your enterprise handheld computing program.
The most advanced handheld computing
solutions will be on display at "Planet PDA - The Global Summit on
Handheld Productivity Solutions;" the event will be held December
4-6, 2001 at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Planet PDA will provide a first-class
learning forum for anyone involved in implementing handheld devices into
the enterprise. The editors of TMC's leading publications have developed
a very informative conference program that will virtually assure you of
knowing how you can use cost-saving handheld technology products and
services to improve profitability in your business and make you more
efficient.
