The impact of mobile on a workforce cannot be denied--getting information at the hands of workers, when they need it, in a format that's easy to digest, is driving the development of both IT policies and application consideration.  Invensys was one of the first industrial automation suppliers to offer  mobile-enabled reporting through its SmartGlance app.  Since then, we've followed with Workflow, Intelligence, and Operator Training. They all have a similar strategy--utilize the mobile form factor to provide key information to the user in a graphically rich form factor.

Is your company supporting your mobile needs? We're happy to help.
