Field Force Automation and mGovernment

As mobile computing technologies continue to improve, many State and local governments are employing them to improve operations and provide better services to the public. Two rapidly growing application areas for mobile computing include field force automation and mGovernment. Field force automation refers to the use of mobile technologies to assist field workers such as maintenance crews and inspectors in the completion of their tasks. mGovernment is an extension of eGovernment that uses wireless networks to reach out to a public that is increasingly accessible through sophisticated mobile phones and PDA's.
