The First Facility Management Blog

Data-Basics, a provider of management software solutions to service, construction, and facilities management teams, has announced its “Get the BIG Picture” giveaway for a free tablet PC. By simply viewing a demonstration of TechAnywhere (the company’s wireless field service software optimized for tablet PC devices), a visitor’s name will be entered in the drawing.

TechAnywhere allows users to fill out job tickets electronically as they presently do—with a pen (also called a stylus) and on a form designed to look like the job tickets currently used. TechAnywhere software emulates the paper work orders that techs are already used to.

The result is software with a smaller learning curve, leading to decreased deployment time and quicker adoption by a firm’s mobile workforce. And since tablets are fully functional PCs, additional software, such as an office productivity suite or an estimating package, can also run on the same device. TechAnywhere is compatible with BlackBerry devices, ideal for users needing ultra-portable devices.

Entrants can click this link or call (800) 837-7574 to sign up for a demonstration. Once the demo is complete, visitors will be entered in the running for a Toshiba tablet PC. The random drawing is scheduled to take place on December 2, 2007. Official contest rules are posted on the company’s Web site.
