PDAs in Angola, South Africa, New Mexico, Germany, Portuguese & Kwanza

Everyday we receive calls about new projects. We have a global VAR channel that seems to be able to uncover all kinds of interesting and unusual projects. Over the last couple of weeks we have been working with a reseller partner in South Africa that has a client and project with the following description:

• German citizen
• Living in South Africa
• Owns a bottled water business in Angola
• Has a home in New Mexico, USA
• The handheld computer applications must be written in Portuguese & English
• The currency must be in US Dollars & Angolan Kwanza
• Solution requires a bar code scanner and mobile printers
• A Ruggedized handheld computer
• Must be as graphical as possible (many of the users can not read)
• Synchronization using satellite internet connections

It has been our strategy since 2000 to develop “software development kits” for mobile environments. Because of the power and flexibility of the "software development kit" approach, we can easily develop and implement cost effective projects with the above described unusual requirements.
