Business Decision Maker’s Perspective
MCL-Collection is developed and optimized for mobile computers and mobile
workforce deployments; and since its inception, MCL has minimized customers’ total
cost of ownership by providing:
High-productivity development environment.
Multimodal approach.
Modular, flexible architecture.
Easy application deployment and management.
Low on-going maintenance effort.
Cross-platform compatibilities.
Forward migration paths.
Future-proofed applications.
Investment preservation.
What Does This Mean to You?
This means that you can develop, integrate and deploy your mobile worker
application in days or weeks instead of the weeks and months it would take you using
traditional development languages.
This means that you can enjoy the benefits of today’s technologies today, and
tomorrow’s technologies tomorrow. For example, develop and deploy a traditional
barcode data capture, mobile worker application today. Tomorrow add voice input
and output control. After tomorrow add radio frequency identification (RFID) to the
same MCL application.
It means that you can use MCL-Collection’s modular architecture to adapt and expand
your deployment over time to meet your evolving business needs.
It means that you do not have to be concerned with on-going application maintenance
to handle operating system upgrades, system software upgrades, and wireless
infrastructure upgrades. MCL does it for you (see Charts 1 and 2).
It means you do not have to be concerned with how to implement new data capture
technologies. MCL does it for you (see Chart 3). MCL’s recent addition of voice
recognition into the MCL-Collection is an excellent example of this.
It means you can deploy mixed terminal populations to provide each operator with the
form factor most suitable to maximize mobile worker productivity.
It means you can benefit immediately from an investment in new mobile computers.
MCL-Collection expedites the deployment of existing applications on new mobile
computers. It also minimizes workforce training on your new mobile computers.
Mobile workers see a user interface they already know.
Mobile workers are immediately productive.
