Mobile Epiphany Begins Certification Process for Getac Rugged Computers

Aurora, CO, April 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Mobile Epiphany is currently working with rugged computer manufacturer Getac to certify them as an Authorized Hardware Supplier for Mobile Epiphany’s Touch Inspect software. The testing is being conducted by a team of engineers at iBeta, a Colorado-based quality assurance company. The Getac computers will undergo rigorous testing to ensure that the features on the hardware such as the camera, barcode scanner, touch screen, and GPS are fully compatible with Touch Inspect’s geospatial, multi-media, and data-collection technology.

“We’re very impressed with the design of Getac’s fully rugged computers. Their unique functionality, combined with the versatility and usability of our Touch Inspect software, will offer not only an extremely powerful solution, but an amazing user experience,” said Mobile Epiphany CEO Glenn Kletzky. “We expect the testing process to be completed in a matter of weeks and are currently focusing on the PS236 handheld, E100 tablet, and V-100 convertible notebook—3 models which cover a very broad range of data-gathering needs.”

“Getac’s rugged and powerful mobile computers, combined with Mobile Epiphany’s Touch Inspect, will provide field-based workers with reliable and easy-to-use solutions for locating and inspecting outdoor geospatially distributed assets,” states Jim Rimay, President of Getac North America. “We are excited by the innovative new technology created by Mobile Epiphany and the potential of our partnership.”

Touch Inspect is geospatially-intelligent asset inspection and data collection software for Windows PCs and Windows Mobile devices. Using a video-game inspired interface combined with a touch-based system, information collected in the field is automatically transmitted to a database server via the Internet without any additional data entry or uploads.

The software allows users to locate assets geospatially -- by properties, by barcode, or by RFID -- and call up past inspections before beginning a new one for enhanced field-decision support. Data is entered in a uniquely presented question-and-answer format and users can add highly detailed visual information about assets with the application’s multimedia tools. With a suite of configuration tools on the back end, Touch Inspect is designed to be user-customized to replicate the workflow of a specific company or industry in a matter of hours without technical knowledge or programming. According to Kletzky, “This makes Touch Inspect faster and easier to configure to a company’s unique work flows and data collection needs than any other software today.”
