Dexterra®, a leading provider of software to automate and manage mobile workforces, today announced the panel participants for “Eliminating Paper-Based Work Orders to Heat Up Field Service,” the final of three webinars in the Field Service Survival webinar series from Mobile Enterprise magazine. Joining Dexterra to cosponsor this webinar series are AT&T, Microsoft and Motorola.

When: Thursday, February 26, 2009, 2:00p.m. ET (19:00 GMT)

Where: To register for the webinar visit:  http://www.dexterra.com/cmpgs/0812-fssurvival-webseries.php?s=s027

Who: Editor in Chief of Mobile Enterprise magazine, Susan Nunziata, will moderate a panel which includes Hal Kolp, vice president of IT at Source Refrigeration & HVAC, Inc., and Eugene Signorini, vice president, Enterprise Applications & Mobile Solutions for Yankee Group.

What: Learn how Source Refrigeration & HVAC mobilized their field workers across 13 states while swapping their manual processes for a mobilized solution that seamlessly integrated with their existing back-office systems.  The result was enhanced customer service, employee satisfaction and an improved bottom line.

By deploying Dexterra’s intuitive mobile field service application, which integrated with their existing Microsoft Dynamics ERP system, Source Refrigeration was able to increase efficiencies, dramatically improving the availability, speed and accuracy of their data.

Source’s integrated mobility solution includes Dexterra’s mobile service applications, the Dexterra Concert mobile development platform and ruggedized Motorola MC70 devices with the Windows Mobile operating system running on the AT&T network.

Why: In order to stay ahead of increasing customer needs while improving efficiencies, enterprises are making the move towards deploying mobile solutions that are easily integrated into their existing systems which in turn increases their return on initial investment. Mobilizing their field service workers plays a large part in maximizing productivity, improving customer satisfaction and lowering overall costs.

If you missed the first two webinars of the series you can view the recorded versions, available on the Dexterra website at: http://www.dexterra.com/cmpgs/0812-fssurvival-webseries.php?s=s023&d=d039.

“Managing, maintaining and deploying a mobile solution does not have to be a cost intensive, complex undertaking; in fact, mobilizing your company’s workforce can increase the return on initial investment in back-office systems,” said Jim Lambert, vice president of marketing for Dexterra. “In our sponsorship of the Mobile Enterprise Field Service Survival webinar series we took great care to offer applicable, valuable information and deployment case studies, not sales pitches, so IT decision makers can gain proper perspective about the decisions they face mobilizing their workforces.”

Mincom selects Dexterra mobile platform and applications to power its new mobility solutions enabling organizations to increase productivity, improve safety and lower costs

DENVER, COLO. – November 19, 2008

Mincom, a leading global provider of software solutions and services for asset intensive industries, today announced plans to launch a mobility solution designed to meet the needs of asset intensive organizations across industries including mining, utilities, public infrastructure, defense and transport.

The company has selected the Dexterra mobility platform as the underlying mobility technology to extend and deploy its purpose-built applications for asset management to mobile workers.

This strategic initiative for Mincom is an extension of the current technology platform that will deliver a fully integrated end-to-end solution mobilizing asset management and critical businesses processes.

Asset intensive organizations have much more complex mobile solution needs than most other businesses.  Often the majority of their workforce is deployed to manage assets in environments that can be subject to extreme conditions such as in mines or emergency response situations. Mincom will deliver a solution that provides the communications flexibility, reliability and unique capabilities they require.

Delivering enterprise solutions for asset intensive businesses, Mincom supports a diverse range of customers throughout the world, including, Australian Defence Force, Toronto Hydro, Ergon, Energex, Xstrata Copper, Newmont Mining Corporation, Metronet (London Underground) and Scottish Power.

Mincom’s mobility solution will be based on the new Dexterra Concert Enterprise Edition and Dexterra Field Service Suite which includes schedule and dispatch, work order lifecycle management and location-based asset and resource tracking. Together with Mincom’s industry and domain expertise, the solution delivers purpose-built asset management applications that mobilize best practice processes in asset management and integrates directly to Ellipse, the company’s Enterprise Asset Management platform as well as other leading ERP platforms including SAP and Oracle.

BENEFITS FOR MINCOM CUSTOMERS

• Mincom customers also benefit from the ease in extending this mobility solution to other critical business processes such as sales force automation, customer relationship management, procurement and customer support through the use of pre-built standards-based technology, database and application adapters for mobile integration that facilitate rapid integration with virtually all back-office systems.

• A key advantage is the solution requires minimal integration so time to benefits for customers is significantly reduced.

• This is timely given today’s economic environment and the need to drive quick return on investment while reducing overall costs quickly and measurably.

QUOTES

Greg Clark, chief executive officer at Mincom:

“Mincom customers are asset intensive businesses, highly reliant on field workers to operate, manage and maintain mission critical assets. Asset failure in a mining organization, for example, can equate to millions of dollars lost in just hours of production downtime.”

“Our new solution extends Mincom’s SOA-based technology platform to mobilize asset management and other critical business processes, helping our global customers reduce downtime, increase productivity and efficiency, improve safety and lower overall capital expense and operating costs.”

“It lays the foundation for us to deliver new applications and services over time and provide a single mobility platform for our customers, while reducing their total cost of ownership.”

Roy W. Schulte, of Gartner Inc. in “Using SOA to Achieve Four Design Goals” September 2008:

“An enterprise must be agile enough to change its business processes quickly if it is to respond to fast-changing business conditions and capitalize on new opportunities. Therefore, the information systems supporting the business processes must be capable of changing quickly. Agility, in this case, means being able to reconfigure and extend application systems without rewriting much code or changing the databases when business requirements change. It also means implementing multichannel applications that support desktop, mobile and back-office work simultaneously.”

Michael Liebow, chief executive officer of Dexterra:

“By providing significant domain expertise and a global presence in more than 40 countries, Mincom extends our ability to deliver industry-specific, process-driven mobile applications that are unique to asset intensive businesses. The jointly developed mobility solution for asset management enables existing and new Mincom customers to fully maximize their investment by empowering their workforce with mobile applications that make them as productive in the field as they are in the office. We look forward to working with Mincom to build long-term customer relationships and to set the bar for the kind of results that can only be achieved through business mobility.”
