By mobile application, do you mean you are having your Maixmo in portable devices?

Yes - the mobile software runs on PDAs. It talks to the "mother ship" Maximo through docking stations or via wireless transmissions.

Again the question,
* the PDA run a software that receives data (orders, maybe other type of data) from Maximo,
* the technicians completes jobs at the field, enter data at the PDAs,
* the technicians send wireless the data to Maximo, or hook up the PDAs at a worksation to upload the data from the PDA's software to Maximo.
* Maximo does not run on the PDA.

Eugene,

Maximo offers two mobile applications, Mobile Inventory Manager and Mobile Work Manager, both part of the Mobile MXES product. So, this software is technically running Maximo applications on the PDA. If you have wireless capabilities, you can transmit data to and from the PDA real-time out in the field. This would be the preferred option to avoid issues with memory and slow speed on the PDAs.

All that being said, we don't have it working well yet. The Mobile Maximo line is still very new, and I think a future version will be more robust.

Did that answer your question?

Yes, thank you. Was away for vacations and busy at other projects.
