Mobile Data Access

No matter what industry you’re in, it’s crucial that you have the real-time data you need to make important business decisions. However, a big hurdle arises when you’re not physically at your desk, on your PC, and directly connected to the system where your data is stored.

For instance, maybe you’re on a business trip and need accurate data to relay in a meeting—or maybe you simply want to check in on the status of your business over your first cup of coffee at home. But when data access can only happen in the office, doing so is impossible. Instead, you have to rely on a previously-generated report—and too often, that report is out-of-date by the time you look at it.

As a result, you’re caught between a rock and a hard place. Do you make a decision based on potentially outdated data? Or do you put it off and wait until you can get back to your office and get your live data? Either way is no way to run your business.

Another hurdle arises when business users at your company want to be able to access key business information on the fly—but doing so requires technical knowledge to comb through data on green screen applications. Very few business users actually have this technical knowledge—and, often, those who do would still prefer a simple, flexible way to access their data.

Mobile data access solutions can help you overcome these hurdles and achieve real-time data access—for yourself and your users—anytime, anywhere, no matter what.
