So, How Did We Do It?
1 Conduct Mobile Assessment
§ Identify vendors with mobile solutions § Document high-level business and technical requirements in Request
for Information/Proposal (RFI-P) § Submit document to a select group of mobile solution vendors § Invite vendors to conduct product demos § Document advantages/
disadvantages § Provide a cost estimate § Recommend vendor & gain
approval from project stakeholders § Select vendor
2 Choose Mobile Device Wisely
§ Consider these key factors when selecting smart mobile device: • Will the device increase productivity for your mobile users? • What are the other business uses for the device? • What is the impact on user training?
§ Support for deploying and
managing the devices outside of the mobile solution
§ Decide on smart device form factor – iPad vs Android
3 Involve End Users Early In Process
§ Include field to promote the application and confirm direction early on § Have user defined requirements § Perform prototype application review focused on layout, user
interface § Have users test product in the field § Ensure users become a part of the
process to promote ownership § Provide user training
4 Ensure Mobile Application Usability
§ Intuitive, easy to use interface § Task-oriented application - user enters information quickly with
minimal navigation § Consistent with native Apple apps – users can apply smart
device knowledge § Data sync between the device and
Maximo occurs automatically § Application performance - initial data
load, subsequent data loads § Work in connected and disconnected
mode
5 Integrate Directly with Maximo
§ Use existing Maximo technical infrastructure – no additional servers
§ Configuration and management of mobile applications, users, and devices within Maximo
§ Leverage Maximo functionality and data
§ Reads from and writes data directly to Maximo MBOs
§ Adheres to Maximo security, validation, and business rules
6 Choose Flexible Platform for Mobile Application Development § Meet business needs by adding functionality beyond OOB
• Transmission Line Inspection as an example § Integrates with Workflow § Automate complex tasks for increased efficiency § Supportable by Internal IT
7 Partner with Mobile Implementation Experts § Expertise with mobile solutions § Expertise with Maximo implementations § Benefit from Interloc’s experience with mobile and Maximo
prior implementations § Ability to lead requirements, design, and development § Ability to provide field workers
with elegant, next generation, simple apps
