Unless a system has demonstrated that it can flexibly change with moving requirements over a true test of time, there is understandably some wariness with bringing it onboard. The mobilePLUS solution evolved from a long history of successful asset and data collection solutions deployed at every level of government.

After starting as the data collection component for a single ERP, mobilePLUS evolved into a comprehensive mobile asset solution, capable of working with all ERPs and business systems.

For over 20 years, mobilePLUS has ensured the collection and communication of accurate asset information at the Federal, State, and Local level. Some implementations have hundreds of sites communicating to a single business system. Others have multiple locations, domestically and internationally. Some installations have users that only periodically log in, but can do so – and begin working – without re-training or ongoing certifications.

Their stories are as varied as their missions. But they all have the challenge of navigating automation in the complex world of government – and have successfully done so, for years, with mobilePLUS.

Systems that solve problems in government organizations don’t have an easy path. More than just resolving an issue or automating a specific process, solutions in this world need to operate within the strict parameters defined for security, data, and communications that comes with living in a government world – any government world.

A system that succeeds does so with one of two approaches – flexible design or significant customization.

Customization may seem tempting – who doesn’t like something “tailor-made” for them? But that can be very expensive to create, hard to support and administer, and difficult to adapt to new technologies or requirements – without even more customizations.

A flexible design, on the other hand, ensures that the solution can bend and adapt to changing needs and environments without modifying the system code. As a result, updates in your core business systems or ERP, modifications in your security requirements, even changes in your staff procedures, can be accommodated quickly – minimizing cost and downtime.

Solutions can meet every technology requirement, but still fail if they don’t have a successful implementation. It is important to ensure that the whole of the solution is well-defined.

More than just the code, a successful system should be quick to implement and be easy to use for you to begin getting value from it. The whole package should be well-defined and considered. After all, what good is any of the functionality if you can’t get it working, keep it working or understand how to use it?

Trying to deploy a solution in a government organization is never easy. But when you do find the right one – you need to make sure that it is something that will meet purchasing requirements too. That’s where having solution providers that understand the needs of the whole solution – from the point of identification and design to procurement, and through ongoing support – can make all the difference.
