Mobile Project ROI -
How to Determine the Return on Investment of
a Mobile Application
 Abstract:
Decisions to implement IT projects are made based
on exacting financial criteria. This paper
will present tools for how to develop a
"return on investment" (ROI)
analysis to be used in supporting the
decision to finance a mobile project. While
it may be intuitively clear that mobile
projects will produce numerous operational
benefits, justifying projects in terms of
real decreases in operating costs is
difficult. This paper reviews some of the
basic ways of identifying and calculating
cost savings as well as accounting issues
that the “bean counters” will
appreciate.

mobile workers spend more time on the job —
and less time getting there.GPS is a
cost-effective enhancement for service,route
delivery,dispatch,logistics and other mobile
enterprise applications that provides a
rapid return on investment by making workers
more productive in the field and lowering
the costs to support them.

Field Inventory of
Abandoned Mine Sites in Western Australia
 Abstract:
The inventory of abandoned mine sites,
conducted by the Geological Survey of
Western Australia, commenced in 1999 and has
focused on mapping sites of historic
production, mostly for mines that closed
prior to 1990. The project aims to
accurately locate and document abandoned
mine sites in Western Australia, identify
public safety and environmental hazards, and
assess their state of preservation.

Wireless Technology Update
 Abstract:
Listening to wireless service providers talk
it’s easy to get lost in a swirl of acronyms
and unqualified statements about data rates
and coverage. But with the pressure to
deploy applications that deliver real
productivity increases and measurable ROI,
it’s critical that you make the right
technology choices.

Getting
It Together in the Field
 Abstract:
The convergence of
information technology, telecommunications
and handheld electronics brings important
advantages for field workforces. Very often,
access to data stored in information systems
is limited to fixed-wire networks, a serious
limitation in the field. For companies with
a significant mobile workforce, tremendous
value can be realized in developing a mobile
information strategy. If the mobilization of
information system access is staged
properly, significant returns on investment
can be achieved in a relatively short
period.
