•White Paper: Streamlining Government Activity With Mobile And Wireless Applications

Government agencies at all levels are learning how to improve responsiveness, manage assets more efficiently, decrease capital expenditures and reduce labor requirements by adapting mobile and wireless technologies that are used extensively in the private sector. The proven benefits these technologies provide for government operations are driving an explosion in usage. Municipal governments alone will increase their spending on mobile and wireless systems more than tenfold, from $802 million in 2005 to $8.6 billion in 2010 according to Juniper Research.

Mobile computers, automated data collection (ADC) devices, and wireless communications can be used for a variety of common public sector activities, including inspections and reporting, asset management, inventory control, security, personnel management and more. Supporting operations with proven technology solutions can significantly reduce the time, expense and clerical support required to manage paperwork, improve asset availability, reduce losses and improve productivity. For example, Maricopa County in Arizona expects to reduce the time required to take asset inventory by 75 percent and save at least $40,000 annually in labor with a new handheld computing system. New York City officials estimate a new wireless computer system will reduce the time needed to record and report environmental data for emergency response from five hours to just minutes.
