CTG, Mobilizing the Workforce, Leading by Consulting

With the release of each successive generation of mobile computer, the devices continue to grow dramatically in performance as the form factor and price slowly shrink. The promise of moving the workforce out from behind a desk and out in front of the business-task at hand without losing connectivity to our critical online business systems has arrived. As presented by Gartner at their 2007 conference, companies that deploy mobile business systems to their entire field workforce will realize an estimated 2% improvement in their operational margin. In coming years, adoption of mobile technologies will be a key factor to increasing productivity and remaining competitive.

Today, multimodal mobile technology is capable of providing voice-guided work instruction, GPS, barcode scanning, RFID and network connectivity for use in all areas of supply chain execution. Also available are mobile tools for automatic software updating, broadcast messaging, email, local intranet, the Internet, Bluetooth and phone service which can be added to most any mobile application. Advancements in rapid software development tools make investing in enterprise-wide mobility cost effective. Such systems allow tremendous flexibility to transform otherwise disconnected resources into a highly productive mobile workforce.

CTG consultants know how to mobilize a workforce. Over 40 years of consulting and systems integration experience gives CTG a unique perspective in the ever evolving mobile computing marketplace. By isolating the business processes that demand mobility with a focus on return on investment (ROI) strategies, CTG guides its clients from analysis, functional specification, detailed design, integration and complete migration ensuring a clear path to improvements in process including cost, quality, flexibility, cycle time, throughput, accuracy and overall productivity.

The first step to improving any business process is to analyze it in order to identify, document and understand the various activities, procedural relationships and critical metrics. CTG does this analysis, using our industry proven methodologies, by providing visibility into process bottlenecks, boundaries and interrelationships to discover areas of improvement to develop and nurture an enterprise’s competitiveness.
