.H1 January 2001
On January 4 Sprint PCS (at http://www.sprintpcs.com) and Palm, Inc. announced an agreement to market and sell wireless solutions for handhelds using the Palm OS platform. This alliance represented the first CDMA solution for Palm handheld computers. Initially, the CDMA solutions for Palm handhelds were only available in the form of co-branded connectivity solutions that allowed you to connect your Palm handhelds to a Sprint PCS Internet-ready Phone using a data cable. As the year went on, however, we saw the introduction of some very cool Palm OS based smartphones that integrate voice and data. We’ll get to those later.
On January 23 Palm announced that its strategic venture investment group, Palm Ventures (at http://www.palm.com/about/venture1.html), made an investment in ePhysician (at http://www.ephysician.com), a health-technology company based in Mountain View, CA. ePhysician products are designed to help doctors improve patient care and practice efficiencies through handheld services and information delivery. Palm participated in the third round of funding for ePhysician.
Earlier in January, ePhysician had announced the first fully integrated product suite to combine prescribing, patient diagnosis and charge capturing, and objective drug reference available on Palm OS handhelds. According to ePhysician, the software enables doctors to send prescriptions securely over the Internet using a wireless handheld computer, capture important patient diagnosis and billing information, and access reliable, objective drug information.
The January issue of PalmPower Magazine Enterprise Edition ran an article on the Palm Mobile Internet Kit (at http://www.palm.com/software/mik/), a software product that allows virtually all Palm handheld computer users to connect wirelessly to the Internet using a data-enabled mobile phone. PalmPower Senior Technical Editor Claire Pieterek reviewed this important software for all mobile Internet users. We also reviewed PalmSource 2000 where Palm made a number of big announcements important to the enterprise. In the January issue, you’ll also find the fascinating success story of how a world-renowned cleaning company, ServiceMaster (at http://www.servicemaster.com), has used Palm computers to more efficiently track the quality of its service. You can find the January issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200101.html.
.H1 February 2001
On February 13 Palm Ventures announced its investment in Kenamea, Inc. (at http://www.kenamea.com), a company that’s building an innovative Internet application communications platform. Kenamea’s platform addresses the continuing strong demand in the enterprise market segment, promising to accelerate the availability of next-generation enterprise applications and make it easier to extend them to Palm OS based handheld devices. The platform is expected to change the way users interact with information and services using the Internet.
Meanwhile, back in our neck of the woods, PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition put the focus on the legal industry. First we featured an article on Palm OS solutions for lawyers. With the advent of wireless solutions for the Palm handheld, it’s now possible to conduct sophisticated real-time legal research anywhere, anytime. This is just one of the many great advantages intellectual property lawyer Ury Fischer has discovered since becoming a Palm computer user. In his article, Fischer shared his success at incorporating Palm computing into his life and work.
We had a chance to speak exclusively with Palm’s market experts and find out more about how handheld devices can integrate into your legal enterprise, and we also took a more in-depth look at what can be done with West Group’s Westlaw Wireless (at http://www.westgroup.com), a popular online business and legal research tool you can now access using a wirelessly enabled Palm handheld. The February issue can be found at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200102.html.
.H1 March 2001
March 19 was a very exciting day for Palm watchers, as the company unveiled the Palm m500 series handhelds. Two new models–the Palm m500 monochrome handheld and the Palm m505 color handheld–have flexible dual, plug-and-play expansion and mobile Internet access capability in the form of a Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMediaCard expansion slot about the size of a postage stamp, a new Universal Connector for hardware add-on modules, and Internet connectivity software. Both, we discovered, are ideal tools for the enterprise, as we later addressed in an article at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/issues/issue200104/newdevice001.html.
The March issue of PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition put the focus on the medical industry. Besides the traditional role of Palm computers as organizers, medical schools and other health education programs are quickly finding exciting new uses for Palm handhelds. Andrew Morton provided an exclusive inside look at the Palm OS initiatives being undertaken at the Medical College of Virginia campus of Virginia Commonwealth University.
Then, Dr. Darwin J. Liao examined some of the cool Palm applications created specifically for the healthcare industry in order to help healthcare professionals manage key elements of the healthcare delivery process such as billing and charge capture, medical charting, drug database and medical reference, electronic prescriptions, lab and patient tracking, and outcomes data collection. Dr. Liao also shared some of the exciting ways he’s discovered to use customized, basic productivity solutions to help you manage your healthcare information.
Finally, we chose to spotlight an amazing mobile database of drug information called ePocrates qRx (at http://www.epocrates.com) that’s saving lives by helping doctors avoid mistakes and stay informed. You can find the March issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200103.html.
.H1 April 2001
On April 11, Palm’s agreement with Sprint PCS paid off in a big way with the release of the Sprint PCS Phone QCP-6035 by Kyocera (at http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/kysmart/kysmart_series.htm). This latest phone from Kyocera combines the functionality of a Palm handheld and the features of a Sprint PCS Phone to access content from the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
In the spirit of corporate mobility that this smartphone embodies, the April issue of PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition ran a survey of large number of solutions put out by Palm and its partners for secure, mobile access to corporate email. We also had the chance to attend a press conference to learn how United States Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and other Republican Senators have been making use of Palm VII handhelds to access Web-based content and applications. The April issue is at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200104.html.
.H1 May 2001
In May, Palm and West Group, a provider of e-information and solutions to the U.S. legal market, that the two companies were working with Stanford University’s Law School on a six-month wireless handheld technology initiative designed to allow busy law school students to communicate, research, prepare for exams, and manage their studies remotely. The 50-person student and faculty program was conceived by Mitch Davis, chief information officer and associate dean for Information Systems at the Law School, and is part of the school’s overall wireless initiative. West Group provided wireless access to Westlaw, a comprehensive legal research service, and six ebook titles that gave students remote access to frequently used legal information. The company also provided training and additional funding for the program.
PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition acknowledged its global reach in May with a number of international articles. First off, we took a trip to Latin America to see how three beverage manufacturers have integrated Palm OS solutions into their businesses. Then we featured a beginner’s guide to developing localized applications. In this global business environment, it’s vital to keep in mind that the Palm OS application you create in one country may need to be used throughout the world. Fortunately, the Palm OS is designed to be global. This is an important topic for any international business attempting to develop proprietary software for Palm handhelds.
Finally, we profiled Bozidar Benc, one of the original members of Palm’s ever-growing global developer family, who is hard at work creating Palm OS enterprise applications in Croatia. You can find the May issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200105.html.
.H1 June 2001
June was a busy month for Palm in the enterprise arena. On June 7 Palm helped make the case for the Bluetooth short-range wireless communication standard by announcing the Palm Bluetooth Card. Designed using the open industry-standard Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO) specification, the Palm Bluetooth Card can be slipped into Palm products that have the SD/MultiMediaCard expansion slot, currently the Palm m500, m505, and m125 handhelds.
The card is designed to enable quick, easy, and secure local communication (within 10 meters, or 30 feet) between Palm handhelds and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, printers, network hubs, and other handhelds.
Then on June 13 Palm and SAP (at http://www.sap.com) announced an agreement to jointly sell mySAP.com e-business solutions to enterprises and to develop a comprehensive SAP and Palm end-to-end enterprise mobility solution on the Palm OS. The idea is that the combined strength of Palm and SAP will enable businesses to take advantage of new mobile opportunities and reduce operational costs by leveraging their investment in SAP applications through the integration of mobile workers’ Palm handhelds.
Palm received some good news on June 20 when an independent survey of handheld computing in Fortune 1000 companies indicated that a majority of the respondents selected the Palm OS platform as a handheld platform of choice for their standards lists. The survey was conducted by the Winn Technology Group, Inc. (at http://www.winntech.net). They found that 56 percent of the 585 companies who responded have established standards for enterprise-wide handheld computing solutions. Within that group, the research firm found that 85 percent of the respondents with a handheld standard have selected the Palm OS platform for their standards list; 70 percent of the respondents with a handheld standard selected Palm branded devices as their corporate standard; and 57 percent of the respondents with a handheld standard identified Palm OS devices as their exclusive handheld computer standard.
On June 26 PricewaterhouseCoopers (at http://www.pwcglobal.com) and Palm announced a global alliance agreement to provide mobile enterprise business solutions to clients. Under the terms of the agreement, Palm and PricewaterhouseCoopers plan to work together to help companies quickly integrate existing enterprise systems with mobile capabilities. The two organizations intend to develop and market mobile enterprise solutions based on Palm handheld computers to enable clients to gain further benefits from critical enterprise applications deployed by businesses including CRM (Customer Relationship Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and B2E (Business-to-Enterprise).
Palm had been working with its Palm Economy members focused on enterprise solutions to stimulate development of "behind-the-firewall" enterprise applications. At the same time, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Management Consulting Services practice was working with clients globally to exploit the benefits of mobile business by providing strategic advisory services, encouraging the mobilization of enterprise software, and assisting in application development and systems integration.
Also on June 26 Palm and Extended Systems Inc. (at http://www.extendedsystems.com) announced that they had signed a non-binding LOI (Letter of Intent) for Palm to resell Extended Systems’ XTNDConnect Server Software as a Palm branded product by the fourth quarter of 2001. This reflected the strong relationship between the two companies despite their mutual agreement to end the acquisition of Extended Systems by Palm back in May. XTNDConnect Server makes mobile device deployment and behind-the-firewall access to real-time business information simple and secure. Any corporate information that resides on Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, and ODBC-compliant database servers will be accessible from Palm OS handhelds.
Palm also took the opportunity in June to talk about how Palm OS solutions have been used to speed growth, streamline operations, and save time and money for mobile field service professionals. They issued a release discussing how an aircraft maintenance company in Seattle, an animal control department in Lincoln, Nebraska, and a residential pool services company in Austin, Texas have put Palm handheld computer solutions to work in order to improve the efficiencies of remote field operations.
June’s issue of PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition ran a fascinating aritcle by Jeremy S. Kossen discussing how mobile technology has begun to enter the e-learning market. In the article, he demonstrated how mobile devices have the power to make e-learning even more widely available and accessible. Also in that issue, Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz had the opportunity to sit down with Howard Beader, SAP’s Director of Mobile Business, for an exclusive PalmPower Interview. You can find the June issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200106.html.
.H1 July 2001
In July Palm announced that the Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center in Charleston, South Carolina, issued a Basic Agreement to Palm for Palm.Net wireless service, which powers the Palm VII series handheld computers. This was the first such purchasing agreement for Palm.Net wireless connectivity for government agency customers.
Under the terms of the agreement, SPAWAR ordered service from Palm, Inc. upon request of government agencies requiring such service. SPAWAR can issue Communications Service Authorizations (CSAs) to Palm for telecommunications service and equipment. Each CSA issued under the agreement will provide Palm with the information necessary to process the order. The agreement demonstrates Palm’s willingness to commit to the federal government, offering all agencies the ability to purchase Palm.Net service through a federal contract vehicle.
Appropriately, the July issue of PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition put the focus on Palm handhelds in government. All manner of government agencies are adopting Palm handhelds to improve the efficiency of their staffs. Megan Obrist shared in more detail the story of how animal control officers in Lincoln, Nebraska are using wireless Palm VIIx handheld computers, Kodak PalmPix digital cameras, and a Web-based, back-end server to more effectively respond to the city’s animal control needs. We also ran an article on the E-Gov 2001 conference in Washington, DC where attendees learned how mobile technology is infiltrating this enterprise space.
July’s issue also featured an interesting aritcle on coolets. Coolets are snippets of information that can be effortlessly synchronized to your Palm handheld through a click of the mouse. In this article, Shawn Googins and Charles Boxill showed you how, with a little slick coding, you can turn coolets into a powerful enterprise tool that can quickly and efficiently distribute information to the Palm handhelds of your sales force, field support, in-house staff, or even your customers. The July issue can be found at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200107.html.
.H1 August 2001
In August Palm talked about the way handhelds based on the Palm OS are employed in the travel industry, enhancing customer resource management, tracking demanding maintenance routines, and managing rigorous inspection schedules.
Then, on August 6, DataViz, Inc. (at http://www.dataviz.com) and Palm, Inc. made an important announcement for mobile professionals. The announced the release of Documents To Go Professional Edition Version 4.0, which enables you to create, view, and edit Word and Excel documents and view PowerPoint presentations in one complete package. Besides the ability to view PowerPoint files with a new application called Slideshow To Go, other improvements in Version 4.0 include the ability to create and edit Excel-compatible spreadsheets with Sheet To Go, save and synchronize large documents directly to Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMediaCard media using Palm m500 series handhelds, and synchronize documents between multiple computers.
Also in August, Palm talked about how some of the nation’s largest and most innovative real estate companies and lenders are improving productivity, customer satisfaction, and bottom lines by using wireless Palm VII series handheld computers. Wireless handhelds offer real estate industry professionals timely information onsite at properties, letting them access listing databases and schedule appointments on the fly, track walk-through tours, get real-time interest rates, and even calculate loan amounts.
On August 16 Palm, Inc. and Be Incorporated announced they had signed an asset purchase agreement for Palm to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of Be, and on August 30 Palm reported on how the medical community is turning to Palm OS handhelds to obtain better-quality research data than that available via traditional paper-based survey and observation methods. Three initiatives, Palm stated, were underway in Irvine, California, Toronto, Canada, and Chattanooga, Tennesee,to demonstrate the use of these devices in medical research.
In August’s issue of PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition, Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz had an opportunity to conduct yet another exciting PalmPower interview. This time he spoke with Jay Highley, Vice President of Business Marketing at Sprint PCS to learn more about the groundbreaking strategic relationship between Sprint PCS and Palm. This relationship resulted in the release of the Sprint PCS Phone QCP-6035 by Kyocera and the full-color-screen SPH-I300 from Samsung, two great tools for mobile workers. Meanwhile, Associate Technical Editor Theodore Durst had a chance to sit down with Joanne Taylor, Media Relations Manager for Extended Systems, to learn more about the company and its exciting relationship with Palm, Inc.
Also in that issue we surveyed the many enterprise software and hardware solutions for the Palm OS that were on display at the 2001 TECHXNY, and we took a look at the variety of ways the U.S. Navy is putting Palm handhelds to use. Many of the tasks undertaken by the U.S. Navy are performed in environments such as cramped submarines, aircraft, and ships and without access to power outlets. Considering these factors, it’s no wonder the Navy is such a major consumer of Palm OS handhelds. You can find the August issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200108.html.
.H1 September 2001
Every small business has its own unique challenge. One of the great advantages of Palm handheld computers is that there are a vast number of software developers who already have software, or can quickly customize their software applications, for a particular small business. In many cases, owing to the simplicity of the Palm OS platform, small businesses themselves can create their own applications or adapt existing applications to their individual needs. In September, Palm put the focus on how more and more small businesses are discovering and reaping the rewards of handheld technology–from keeping better records and getting real-time credit card approval, to decreasing data-collection and report-generation time.
September’s focus in PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition was on ROI (Return On Investment). When making a purchasing decision, especially on a company-wide basis, you must evaluate your Return on Investment. Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz explored the entire ROI issue as it pertains to Palm handhelds. He offered a number of real world examples of companies that have seen enormous ROI benefits and provided several guidelines to follow when trying to figure out what your ROI might be before you invest in Palm handhelds.
In trying to get a solid handle on the Return on Investment issue for Palm handhelds, David realized that getting ROI accounts directly from readers, in their own words, would be an excellent way to showcase ROI. For a second article, he gathered empirical evidence from a number of PalmPower Magazine Enterprise Edition readers just like you.
Before you can determine your Return on Investment, you need to figure out how much you’re investing. In other words, how much is this stuff going to cost? In the third article in his look at ROI, David walked through the steps necessary in determining the Total Cost of Ownership of Palm handhelds in your corporation.
You can find the September issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200109.html.
.H1 October 2001
October was a big month for Palm in the enterprise space. On October 1, Palm announced that the Palm OS platform had been chosen by Siebel Systems (at http://www.siebel.com) as the mobile platform for its latest eBusiness Sales Solution. The new Siebel product–Siebel 7 Sales Handheld for Palm OS–is a software solution that provides instant access to vital information that sales professionals need to be responsive to customer needs. According to Siebel, the solution can help increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, ultimately leading to additional sales. Later Palm and Siebel Systems, Inc. announced they had strengthened their existing alliance to jointly market, sell, and ensure smooth implementation of Siebel Systems’ mobile eBusiness solutions on Palm branded handheld computers. Underscoring their confidence in the strength and effectiveness of the joint mobile sales solution, each company agreed to internally deploy Siebel Sales on Palm handhelds to increase productivity and revenues generated by their own mobile sales professionals worldwide.
Also on October 1, Palm issued a release discussing how businesses of all sizes across industries are increasingly turning to Palm handheld computers to automate field inspections, whether assuring quality as cars arrive in port, gathering soil and temperature data at vineyards, or reporting on the condition of buses. Next, Palm talked about how Palm OS handhelds are helping hospitals ensure smoother, more efficient patient care, such as streamlining post-operative patient-management, medication-monitoring, and risk-assessment procedures. Palm OS handhelds are also helping law enforcement organizations free themselves of paperwork and obtain up-to-the minute information to make better-informed decisions more quickly while working in the field. Then, on October 25, Palm announced that one of its customers, the U.S. Navy, had been recognized with a Government Agency Award for its innovative use of Palm handheld computers to grade pilot landings aboard aircraft carriers. Finally, on October 31, Palm discussed the way in which retail stores are increasingly turning to Palm OS handheld computers to simplify and expedite sales and operations processes.
In the October issue of PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition, Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz had the opportunity to sit down with Marina Levinson, Palm’s Vice President and CIO (Chief Information Officer), to learn the inside scoop about Palm’s own mobile infrastructure. We also ran an article on the brand new Palm m125, the latest addition to the popular m100 series. The m100 series has long been associated with consumers, which made some people wonder whether the Palm m125 could really be considered an enterprise tool. Thanks to the fact that Palm followed through on some promises made earlier in 2001, it was clear that it could, as we discussed in detail in the review. You can find the October issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200110.html.
.H1 November 2001
In November Palm discussed the way Palm OS handhelds are helping emergency medical workers more easily capture critical patient information in emergency situations, both at the scene and on the way to the hospital. The handheld electronic data-capture systems are eliminating paperwork, saving time and helping ambulance personnel to provide better-quality patient care.
On November 29, independent studies from three leading market research firms showed that Palm handheld computers and the Palm OS platform led competitors in a variety of ways in the enterprise. Results of recent studies with IT professionals in the United States conducted by IDC, Jupiter Research, and the Yankee Group showed that Palm handhelds and the Palm OS are widely deployed in enterprises today and remain on purchase-plan lists, and that Palm delivers what enterprise customers want in handheld mobile solutions.
Many auto dealers are finding Palm handhelds to be the perfect portable, infinitely versatile tool to help them buy and sell used cars. In the November issue of PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition, we talked to one dealer who finds his Palm OS-based Manheim Market Report valuation software (at http://www.manheimauctions.com) invaluable in the fast-paced world of auto auctions. In that same vein, we also reviewed a useful piece of software called eval-pal (at http://www.gigglepop.com/dealers/index.html) that will put vehicle valuation information at your fingertips.
Back in October, we talked with Palm CIO Marina Levinson about Palm’s own internal mobile infrastructure, called Palm@Enterprise. PricewaterhouseCoopers played a key role in developing the Palm@Enterprise technology. In the November issue Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz had the opportunity to sit down with Jesus Mantas, a Partner in the High Technology Practice with PricewaterhouseCoopers, to learn more about how PwC is helping mobilize business.
Also in that issue, Christine Harland Williams showed how an application called CrediPalm is being used to aid small businesses throughout Latin America. Since 1973, ACCION International (at http://www.accion.org) has been providing small or "micro" loans to help impoverished people around the world work their way out of poverty. The labor-intensive and expensive task has been made easier and more affordable thanks to CrediPalm, an innovative field service Palm OS solution created by ACCION International. You can find the November issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200111.html.
.H1 December 2001
In December, Palm talked about how, increasingly, the U.S. military is turning to Palm handheld computers to provide logistical support to field forces. From National Guard deployments in Kosovo, to Navy deployments in the Arabian Gulf, the military is using Palm handhelds to improve patient care, data collection, and inspection processes–saving time over previous paper-based methods.
On December 13 it was announced that the Pepsi Cola Buffalo Bottling Corp. provided its sales force with Palm m505 color handhelds to input, track, and process sales orders. The Palm handhelds, combined with mobile accounting software from Informed Beverage Management Inc., have helped Pepsi Cola Buffalo Bottling salespeople shave up to 1.5 hours off their daily sales process and boost customer-service time by 15 percent.
Our December issue of PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition took an in-depth look at wireless connectivity. First we surveyed what type of hardware you need to make your Palm handheld wireless. Then we attempted to sort out the various wireless solutions that exist to connect your Palm handheld to both the Internet and other pieces of hardware. The various technologies differ in terms of functionality and reach. We examined Bluetooth, 802.11b, and wide range wireless solutions to give you an idea when and where you might need each one.
In today’s challenging economy, cost cutting has become more and more necessary. Many companies have cut down drastically on business travel, but if you’re going to be traveling on business, one way you can do your part is to keep an eye on what you spend. In a timely article Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz showed you how by using a Palm wireless handheld you may be able to save you up to 90% on your business travel communications costs.
You can find the December issue at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/tocs/issue200112.html.
