Mobile Technologies

The term "Mobile Technologies" covers an ever growing range of solutions: From the simple but effective text message (SMS) through to full applications that integrate with external devices such as GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) and credit card payment devices.

As mobile devices increase in power and functionality and simultaneously get cheaper, organizations are looking at ways to harness the potential of these near ubiquitous tools. What was once only available on expensive PDA's is now achievable on mobile phones that are generally free. In turn, PDA's now have more computing power than consumer desktops did several years ago. This, coupled with standards such as Multimedia Messaging (MMS) and WAP provide an opportunity that your business should capitalize on.

Some of the ways Mobile Technologies can help you:

  • Provide your employees access to information and services whilst on the move, further realizing the value of your internal IT systems,
  • Targeted and cheap marketing to existing or potential customers based on factors including current location,
  • Efficiency gains through tracking your resources,
  • Adding value to services you offer your customers by allowing them to send multimedia content directly from their mobile phones to your applications,
  • Use of a mobile phone device as a convenient portable point of payment for use at trade shows, or just to process a large queue more quickly.

    • Parthenon understand both the technical potential of these technologies, and how they can provide value to your business. Read more:
