Recent advances in handheld computers, and the emergence of high-speed wireless Internet, have laid the ground work for connecting everyone in an organization to its information systems. As a result, many organizations have invested heavily in field technology expecting productivity increases to generate additional margin. However for most, the actual return on investment is almost always disappointing.

The challenge with connecting field workers to technology is people working in the field just work differently than people working in an office. Although handhelds and wireless Internet have enabled field workers to conveniently access back-office information, entering data is another story.

At Outlier Technologies, we connect field workers to technology by first understanding the unique challenges, work environments and daily routines of field workers, and then building great products that go beyond the capabilities of conventional office technologies.
