I am very interested in how the enterprise mobility markets and the M2M (machine to machine) communications markets will converge. From a BI (business intelligence) perspective, data coming in from the field all looks the same whether it comes from a person carrying a smartphone, or a remote M2M sensor reporting the status and location of a high value asset. At the enterprise BI level it is all valuable data that needs to be analyzed and converted into action based intelligence.
In this two part podcast I am interviewing Alex Brisbourne, CEO of Kore Telematics on these subjects. Alex has over 20 years of experience in the networking and telecommunications industry, in Europe, North America and Asia. KORE Telematics is the world's largest specialized provider of Business Class all digital wireless services for the M2M (machine-to-machine), telematics and telemetry markets.

The Mobile Perspective
Interesting Perspective |
- Charlie needs work orders to be dispatched to his smartphone from his non-SAP scheduling and work order management application.
- Charlie needs to fill out his timesheet using SAP's mobile timesheet application.
- Charlie needs step-by-step navigation from his existing location to the next job site.
- Charlie would benefit from having an automated telephone calling service to alert customers of his imminent arrival onsite.
- Charlie would like to have mobile access to his SAP based HR benefits, vacation and sick days information.
- Charlie would like to have mobile access to the account information of his customers in SAP CRM.
- Charlie would like to have mobile access to the service history of his customers.
- Charlie would like to have mobile access to shipping status, so he knows when he can schedule a return visit.
- Charlie would like to see how his KPIs compare with his peers so that he can improve his performance.
- Charlie provides asset maintenance services for his clients and needs to review EAM (enterprise asset management) data in IBM's Maximo solution. He would benefit from a mobile integration with IBM Maximo as will as SAP.
- Charlie would like to have the ability to take orders, while on location, via his smartphone.
- Charlie would like to collect payments while onsite with the customer. He would benefit from being able to process a credit card payment via his mobile device.
- Charlie would like to know the location of parts that he needs for his repairs. Is the part in inventory in the warehouse, in a nearby company vehicle or down the street at a preferred vendor's location?
- Charlie would like to geo-tag (capture GPS location and apply a barcode label) to the equipment he maintains, so that next time he knows the exact location of all the equipment on the maintenance plan and can uniquely identify it.
