This piece of news out of the Field service industry, only serves to buffer what we have already been advocating for quite some time….namely, the importance of embracing mobile field service apps.for todays customers.

In the ‘mobile wars’ it’s becoming a just-about accepted truth that RIM is slipping – in development and staying ahead of the game. Namely, what’s become the Android and Apple game.
