Efficient use of mobile phones for submitting corporate information
JumpStart Wireless' concept is based on task-specific forms (implemented as MIDlets) that users fill in and submit to the office. Abiro provides a similar concept via Mobilizer, yet not as an off-the-shelf product offering.
From Yahoo! News - Workers use cell phones to submit data:
'Bonar said the typical customer pays about $35 per user, per month. JumpStart is currently processing more than 350,000 transactions per month.'
It doesn't say how many users there are, but let's assume 1 transaction per user per day. Not a huge business, but the margin should be pretty good, provided it's easy for the customers to design task-specific forms using a tool.
'According to estimates by the Yankee Group, a technology research company, about $5.9 billion will be spent on work-related software for mobile devices in 2009, a 47.5 percent increase from $4 billion in 2006.'
Not a quick growth by any means. The corporate world seems to be a tough crowd to convince about benefits with mobile phones for information access.
