IT Decision Maker’s Perspective
Today’s mobile computers are orders of magnitude more powerful than their predecessors. Organizations investing in this new generation of mobile computers want to gain the most benefit from their investment and take advantage of the capabilities of these new devices with their superior operating systems, powerful processors, crisp color displays, extensive memory capacities, barcode scanners, radio frequency identification (RFID), imagers, voice capabilities, and
However, as technology advances, it is changing more rapidly than ever before. For instance, the lifecycle of operating systems is becoming shorter all the time. Consequently the concurrent existence of diverse operating systems is proliferating. This is very evident in the mobile computing world. Chart 1 depicts these shortening lifecycles and proliferation of diverse operating systems for mobile computers.
Given the rapid changes in technology, how do companies realize the potential of the new generation of mobile computers yet:
Assure themselves of
Assure themselves of forward migration paths?
Protect their investments?
Minimize their total cost of application ownership?
The answer is
MCL is dedicated towards, and optimized for, mobile computers, data capture technologies, diverse operating systems, and
MCL is designed from the bottom up for platform
Its platform independence provides the framework for MCL to
Total Cost of Ownership
MCL is focused on minimizing your total cost of application ownership. Application cost does not start and end with the initial development and deployment of an application. Total cost of application ownership involves the cost of the application over the entire life of the application, including maintenance resource time and effort to keep an application current.
