Practical database application
About Data, a very clever Western Australian software solutions developer has created a very promising mobile (PocketPC) desktop application for Environmental Health Audits, which is proving very popular for Local Government Environmental Health Officers. The program has a simple to use interface that allows officers to undertake audits with minimal fuss and without the mountains of hardcopy paperwork, it incorporates a signature block for on screen signing and best of all the documents can be synced to a desktop database or management system.
The product is currently in use with councils in Western Australia with plans for other localities certainly proving that the Pocket PC has true practical industry application. We are only just a step away from similar applications in the learning sector.
