Mobility solutions for Local Government*

Mobility solutions are delivering real productivity benefits and cost savings to Local Governments. Mobility solutions by Victorian company, Sage Technology, provide effective, vital communication between handheld devices and backend enterprise IT systems, mirroring the way field workers, such as home and community care, local laws and maintenance teams, already work in meeting the needs of their Council.

Many Local Governments find that the productivity and efficiency of their field workforce is restricted by reliance on manual, paper based systems, or lack of effective communication between handheld devices and enterprise systems. Sage Technology and their mobility solutions partner, Dexterra, overcome such challenges via a packaged suite of high quality, ready to use mobile business processes that are tailored to suit the specific needs of individual Councils.

One Victorian Council calculated that its home and community care team would save so much time on paperwork and data entry that it would effectively have an additional staff member, simply by adopting a mobility solution.

Mobility enterprise solutions by Sage Technology and Dexterra:

  • are built with the end user in mind
  • protect past IT investment by connecting to legacy and enterprise backend systems
  • allow Councils to use the right device for the right job – laptop, tablet, PDA or phone
  • offer low total cost of ownership and quick return on investment
  • are rapidly deployed
  • are easily upgraded without disruption to field workers or enterprise systems.

For further information about the powerful benefits of mobility solutions in Local Government, contact Phil Halfpenny or Steven van den Meiracker at Sage Technology on (03) 5132 2600 or visit www.sagetechnology.com.au
