Welcome back. I hope that you all enjoyed a nice summer break. The frontline staff that use GeoField are at the heart of Sigma Seven’s business. Our goal is to make GeoField the most usable and effective solution for map-based field work management. Meeting this goal requires us to concentrate on both the requirements and the challenges of field-based workers in the utility, environmental services and public sector markets. So, in this edition of Field Views, we are focussing on the views of our field users. In particular, we asked how they use GeoField in their daily work; what changes to their field working tools would make life easier, and what benefits they gain from the mobile platforms that our customers have put in place.

Remember that you can access Field Views from anywhere at any time, via our blog at www.fieldviews.co.uk. You will also find news snippets and items of interest from the world of map based mobile working. For example, you can check out the exciting new on-screen keyboard technology from Swype, designed to greatly improve the speed of free-text entry for mobile devices. We’ve been working with Swype to integrate their technology with GeoField and we love what we’ve seen so far.

Best wishes,

Paul Reid | Managing Director
