The report states: “The reasons for this are many and varied and extend well beyond a beneficial TCO…. Improved ROI as a function of the productivity gains inherent in mobile access to information, however, is likely to be the key in most initial-installation decisions.”A wirelessly equipped notebook may make sense for a worker who can sit down, open it up, power it on and then run useful applications. It makes less sense for workers who need more flexible portability, not to mention rapid, ad-hoc access to information that is not typically available through laptops and similar tools.

Consider these examples:

• The head nurse checking records and verifying patient status as she moves through a healthcare facility would find a notebook computer bulky and inconvenient.

• The warehouse manager moving through a 20,000 square-foot facility, checking shipping records, confirming inventory levels and phoning staff members at headquarters would typically favor handheld simplicity over notebook functionality, especially when the startup and log-in is considered.

• The safety engineer at a mining site often needs access to both voice and data communication while inside the mine tunnels and on site buildings. This person would very likely find a handheld useful and a notebook computer a burden.

Clearly, a hand-held mobility strategy fits well within many different types of environments served by WLAN connectivity. Freedom of movement, pocket-sized portability and virtually instant-on functionality are characteristics that separate this category of mobility from conventional wireless implementations associated with notebook computers.

Beyond WLAN networks, voice and data convergence is another driving force within many organizations. By combining voice and data communications into a single networked infrastructure, communication costs can be lowered, maintenance can be simplified and the scalability of the network can be easier to address. Companies can inexpensively equip a Corridor Warrior with a single device that provides both voice and data communications across an IP network. Many organizations favor the simpler implementation path and the more manageable framework offered by a converged network model. Technologies such as VoIP help leverage the network infrastructure that is in place while relieving the need for a separate voice communication infrastructure. As discussed in Appendix A, Usage Scenarios, data-voice convergence can provide a framework for a wide variety of applications that enable small groups or teams to operate together more effectively.

The BlackBerry Mobile Data System

Mobilizing applications for the BlackBerry platform increases responsiveness to customers and partners by optimizing staff resources. The median user of BlackBerry-mobilized applications reclaims 196 hours of productivity per year [2]. By linking distributed groups more closely, the average efficiency of BlackBerry-mobilized teams increases 29 percent. These productivity gains allow IT departments to step out of their traditional, reactive “cost center” roles and build enabling applications that increase revenue across the entire workforce.

The BlackBerry® Mobile Data System is an optimized application development framework for the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution. It provides application management, rapid time-to-market, and the data security required for using the wireless network to access corporate applications.

Application and Device Management

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server functions as the middleware between the Domino server and the BlackBerry devices. As part of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the BlackBerry Manager application provides the IT department with full control over their BlackBerry environment, including the applications running on end-users’ devices.

Managing BlackBerry Browser Applications

The Access Control settings in the BlackBerry Manager provide granular control over BlackBerry users’ browser access. While other devices allow only “all or nothing” control, the BlackBerry Manager provides administrators with complete authority over the Web sites users can view. The BlackBerry Manager also allows IT to determine which content is pushed out to specific users and which administrators can perform the push. Push Rules ensure that content is deployed to only authorized users in compliance with company policies.

Managing Custom Java and Third Party Applications

The Software Configurations in the BlackBerry Manager enable consistent configuration of policies regulating third-party and custom wireless applications. Using simple drop-down menus, administrators can mark wireless applications as optional, required, or not allowed. The BlackBerry Manager then enforces these permissions across all devices in a designated group. Administrators can use the All Users or User Groups tabs to inspect the configurations of each wireless device.

Managing BlackBerry MDS Studio

The BlackBerry Manager provides similar control over applications built with the BlackBerry MDS Studio rapid application development (RAD) environment. With just a few clicks, administrators can quarantine or remove any application, schedule application deployment on any number of devices or groups of devices, and upgrade BlackBerry MDS Studio applications on all or some devices.

Executive Summary

A new breed of mobile worker is transforming the workplace—roaming the corridors of factories, offices and other business locations, armed with handhelds linked to a WLAN. Referred to as Corridor Warriors or campus nomads, they benefit from mobile voice and data communications within campuses, satellite sites, warehouses, retail outlets, distribution centers, medical facilities and many other environments. Workers within this increasingly important segment of the mobile workforce, who often belong to a team, share a common need: to stay in touch and stay connected to information throughout the day.

This same technology empowers mid-level managers who coordinate, supervise or simply participate on various business teams. Their roles may vary—project management, human resources, marketing, or finance—but one element remains the same: close communication and ready access to information are essential.

As illustrated by an analysis conducted by IDC and summarized in this paper, Corridor Warriors represent a distinct and growing category of workers. Enabling the Corridor Warrior can strengthen business processes and improve workplace efficiency. We hope the information in this paper encourages companies to consider the potential productivity advantages for their mobile workforce.

Putting Wireless to Work

What do workers need to perform their jobs more efficiently? In recent years, the answer to this question has been closely related to advances in personal computing and communications technologies. The concept of worker mobility has changed remarkably as light-weight, handhelds that combine voice and data communications have freed mobile workers from their desktop computers.

Just as cellular technology helped mobilize large segments of the workforce, the growing popularity of wireless LAN (WLAN) is now transforming whole categories of job responsibilities—creating a platform for redesigning workflow in the office or on the work site.

WLAN technology florished initially by providing connectivity advantages, primarily as a built-in feature of notebook computers. WLANs, however, are increasingly being adopted as a primary network infrastructure. After performing a total cost of ownership comparison1 , analyst firm Farpoint projected that it is likely that WLANs will become the default network in the enterprise.

WLAN技术最初主要被部署为笔记本电脑的一个内置特性,用于提供更便利的连接。但是后来人们开始越来越

多地将WLAN用作主要的网络基础设施。在进行了总体拥有成本比较之后,分析公司Farpoint预测,WLAN很

有可能成为企业的必备网络。

该报告称: “出现以上现象的原因有很多,TCO仅仅是其中之一。但是,移动信息访问所带来的生产率提升也

将提高ROI,这可能将成为促使企业做出安装决策的主要因素。”

支持无线功能的笔记本可能比较适合能够坐下来打开电脑、然后运行应用的员工使用,但是对于需要更大的灵

活性和便携性的员工就不太理想,因为他们经常临时需要快速获取通过笔记本和类似工具很难访问的信息。

举例说明:

● 在医院各处查看病历和病人状态的护士长会发现笔记本电脑既笨重又不方便。

● 在一个面积达两万英尺的空间活动的仓库经理需要查看发货记录、确认库存量并给总部的人员打电

话,他会更愿意使用简单的手机,而不是笔记本,特别是考虑到启动和登录带来的不便。

● 采矿场的安全工程师在矿井通道中或现场办公室中经常需要使用语音和数据通信,对他来说手机比

笔记本要方便得多。

显然,手持设备移动战略在许多支持WLAN连接的环境中都非常适用。便携性、口袋大小的尺寸和几乎瞬间开

启的功能使这种移动技术远远超越了基于笔记本电脑的传统无线功能。

除WLAN网络之外,语音和数据的融合是推动许多机构采用该技术的另一重要因素。将语音和数据通信整合

到单个网络基础设施可以降低通信成本、简化维护并轻松提高网络的可扩展性。 企业可以用较低的成本为

Corridor Warrior配备一个能在IP网上同时提供语音和数据通信的设备。许多机构青睐融合式网络模式的简单安

装流程和更好管理的架构。VoIP等技术能够帮助企业利用现有的网络基础设施,而无需再另外构建一个语音通

信基础设施。如附录A(使用场合)所述,数据-语音融合能为大量不同的应用提供平台,使小型团队更有效地

开展协作。

Rethinking Mobility

Developing an appropriate mobility strategy for any given organization requires rethinking the roles and job responsibilities of various workers. For executives, sales representatives and other staff members who rely more heavily on staying connected while on the road, a traditional cellular phone, a wireless notebook computer or a BlackBerry handheld generally makes the most sense. However, workers, who are mobile, but are most active within the confines of a site environment, may gain the most benefits from a WLAN-enabled device.

Data projections from IDC cast aside any doubts that mobility is a dominant trend in the workplace. In a comprehensive market analysis, Worldwide Mobile Worker Population 2005 – 2009 Forecast and Analysis2 , IDC estimated that the worldwide mobile worker population, which in 2004 was set at 676.0 million (approximately 23.1 percent of the global workforce), will reach 878.2 million by 2009 (about 27.3 percent of the workforce).

In the United States, which currently has the highest percentage of mobile workers, the number will escalate from 64 percent of the workforce in 2005 to 70.4 percent in 2009. Increases in Asia/Pacific and Western Europe are similarly dramatic.

Figure 1 illustrates the categories of mobile worker identified in the study.3

推动移动员工数量增长的因素有很多,IDC重点指出的几个是:

● 企业对于移动办公的潜在生产率优势越来越感兴趣。

● 企业内部的工作/生活平衡理念倡导者说服了决策者,使他们相信灵活的工作时间是值得尝试的。

● 在许多垂直市场,移动办公对于很多职位非常重要,包括销售、IT、运输/物流等,这些职位在未来

几年将达到8%的高增长率。

● 越来越多的政府机构(当地和联邦政府)已经开始认识到移动办公的优势并启动了试点项目。

Executive Summary

A new breed of mobile worker is transforming the workplace—roaming the corridors of factories, offices and other business locations, armed with handhelds linked to a WLAN. Referred to as Corridor Warriors or campus nomads, they benefit from mobile voice and data communications within campuses, satellite sites, warehouses, retail outlets, distribution centers, medical facilities and many other environments. Workers within this increasingly important segment of the mobile workforce, who often belong to a team, share a common need: to stay in touch and stay connected to information throughout the day.

This same technology empowers mid-level managers who coordinate, supervise or simply participate on various business teams. Their roles may vary—project management, human resources, marketing, or finance—but one element remains the same: close communication and ready access to information are essential.

As illustrated by an analysis conducted by IDC and summarized in this paper, Corridor Warriors represent a distinct and growing category of workers. Enabling the Corridor Warrior can strengthen business processes and improve workplace efficiency. We hope the information in this paper encourages companies to consider the potential productivity advantages for their mobile workforce.

Putting Wireless to Work

What do workers need to perform their jobs more efficiently? In recent years, the answer to this question has been closely related to advances in personal computing and communications technologies. The concept of worker mobility has changed remarkably as light-weight, handhelds that combine voice and data communications have freed mobile workers from their desktop computers.

Just as cellular technology helped mobilize large segments of the workforce, the growing popularity of wireless LAN (WLAN) is now transforming whole categories of job responsibilities—creating a platform for redesigning workflow in the office or on the work site.

WLAN technology florished initially by providing connectivity advantages, primarily as a built-in feature of notebook computers. WLANs, however, are increasingly being adopted as a primary network infrastructure. After performing a total cost of ownership comparison1 , analyst firm Farpoint projected that it is likely that WLANs will become the default network in the enterprise.

The report states: “The reasons for this are many and varied and extend well beyond a beneficial TCO…. Improved ROI as a function of the productivity gains inherent in mobile access to information, however, is likely to be the key in most initial-installation decisions.”A wirelessly equipped notebook may make sense for a worker who can sit down, open it up, power it on and then run useful applications. It makes less sense for workers who need more flexible portability, not to mention rapid, ad-hoc access to information that is not typically available through laptops and similar tools.

Consider these examples:

• The head nurse checking records and verifying patient status as she moves through a healthcare facility would find a notebook computer bulky and inconvenient.

• The warehouse manager moving through a 20,000 square-foot facility, checking shipping records, confirming inventory levels and phoning staff members at headquarters would typically favor handheld simplicity over notebook functionality, especially when the startup and log-in is considered.

• The safety engineer at a mining site often needs access to both voice and data communication while inside the mine tunnels and on site buildings. This person would very likely find a handheld useful and a notebook computer a burden.

Clearly, a hand-held mobility strategy fits well within many different types of environments served by WLAN connectivity. Freedom of movement, pocket-sized portability and virtually instant-on functionality are characteristics that separate this category of mobility from conventional wireless implementations associated with notebook computers.

Beyond WLAN networks, voice and data convergence is another driving force within many organizations. By combining voice and data communications into a single networked infrastructure, communication costs can be lowered, maintenance can be simplified and the scalability of the network can be easier to address. Companies can inexpensively equip a Corridor Warrior with a single device that provides both voice and data communications across an IP network.

所有的数据都显示,移动领域增长率最高的将是Corridor Warrior。如图所示,Road Warriors比较成熟,一直

在平稳增长,而最大的机会将来自市场上刚刚起步的Corridor Warrior部分。

使用Corridor Warriors的优势

为各种移动员工配备Corridor Warrior功能将带来以下优势:

● 更好的决策:在部门拜访、与同事在走廊中不期而遇时或前往邻近办公室的过程中能够随时方便地

获取企业信息,这有助于在移动过程中更好地作出决策。

● 会议效率更高: 快速获取相关信息对于许多类型的会议都有很大助益,这些信息包括项目时间表、

库存数据、发货时间、产品列表、销售预测等。可以用电脑文本文件的格式做记录,以便于以后的

共享和使用,这也有助于提高生产率。

● 更有效的团队协作:许多机构有大量移动性很强的团队,他们经常在一个或多个办公楼内往返穿

梭。新技术的采用使管理人员能够与团队成员保持联系,同时能够在工作场所的任何位置随时与他

By all indications, the greatest increases in the mobility space will be seen in the Corridor Warrior realm. As shown in the graph, Road Warriors are a well established and constantly evolving part of the mobile workforce, but the most dramatic opportunities will arise around the relatively unserviced Corridor Warrior segment of the market.

Benefits from Enabling Corridor Warriors

Equipping these various types of mobile workers with Corridor Warrior capabilities can achieve these kinds of benefits:

• Better business decisions: Fingertip access to enterprise information during a department visit, a chance meeting with a colleague in the corridor or while making a trip to an adjacent building can help guide business decisions on the fly.

• More productive meetings: Many types of meetings can benefit from the quick availability of relevant information— project timelines, inventory data, shipping schedules, parts lists, sales forecasts and so on. Making notes as computer text files that can be easily shared and repurposed later also boosts productivity.

• More effective teams: Many organizations rely on fast-moving teams who often travel between one or more buildings during the workday. Benefits accrue from keeping supervisors connected with team members and from allowing team members to exchange virtual real-time information while roving the workplace.

• Better information access: Many categories of workers can benefit from access to forms-based data from anywhere in the building, site, or campus. Requisition forms, trouble ticket systems, inventory lists, regulatory information and employee records can be accessed with a wireless handheld equipped with a Web-based or client-based interface.

Figure 2 shows the anticipated growth of the various types of mobile workers over the next few years. To more clearly

indicate the growth areas relevant to the enterprise market, home-based mobile workers were not included in this graph.

● 更方便地访问信息:许多员工能够从办公楼、工作现场或园区中的任何位置访问表格数据。利用一

个带有基于Web或客户端的接口的无线手机,他们可以访问申请表、故障单系统、库存表、规章制

度信息和员工记录。

● 通过无缝的语音和数据通信提高效率:一个合格的WLAN设备应该能够通过切换键快速从拨打电话

转为访问企业服务器数据。要保持较高的生产率,Corridor Warrior同时需要语音和数据通信。

● 快速的紧急通信: 建筑工地、仓库、采矿场、教育机构、酒店和其它类似的环境经常需要处理一些

紧急的危险情况或救生事件。基于手持设备的WLAN通信使员工在需要即刻获取信息或迅速响应的

场合能够快速行动。

制定面向团队的移动战略

在为具体的工作团队制定移动战略时,请考虑以下因素:

● 扩大移动技术的使用范围:虽然许多公司已经意识到为其专业人员、销售人员和现场支持团队配

备移动工具的重要性,但通过将移动功能扩展到其它的公司重要员工,他们也将获得巨大的优

势。移动办公能为企业的核心团队带来各种优势和便利,包括有形和无形的益处。(如附录A:使

用场合所示。)

● 提高团队业绩:要认识到生活方式问题对移动员工的重要性,因为移动办公使他们能够更灵活地工

作,实现更好的工作/生活平衡,同时提高工作的有效性和生产率。

● 使用基于标准的解决方案框架:考虑一下您将在其中部署移动战略的总体框架。一个能够支持关键

的后端技术和轻松集成并与现有系统互操作的标准解决方案将降低移动战略的实施难度,同时增强

完全移动化的员工队伍带来的优势。IT部门会更容易接受一个不需要大量新投资或改造网络基础设

施的解决方案。利用熟悉的组件(如BlackBerry技术)在现有平台上进行部署将使IT部门能够更轻

松地构建解决方案并将其更好地集成到网络中。

● 部署经过实践检验的解决方案:利用目前已有的技术。能够利用现有技术的解决方案可立即带来回

报。计划中或未来的技术解决方案可能永远不会出现,或者即使出现也可能不符合您的要求。

● 支持员工的职责:在设计和部署面向团队的移动战略时应了解员工个人的职责以及团队成员之间的

相互关系。找出最需要访问重要数据或工作相关信息的领域。对工作流程进行检查,将纸面信息处

理流程变成基于表格的电子化处理模式,使团队成员能够实时访问信息。

和人员。

服务台/派送人员

服务台人员或派送人员是最适合使用Corridor Warrior支持技术的群体之一。试想一下大型复杂环境或校园型环

境中的技术帮助台专家,他们负责维护并修理广泛分布在园区各个地方的计算机设备和通信设备。如果没有方

便的连接功能,这些非Corridor Warrior人员在处理某个任务时可能采取以下的步骤:

● 在技术支持部门的办公室,一名技术专家接收到一个故障通知并打印出到现场维修时需要的信息。

● 他步行到发出呼叫的地点—园区对面的一个办公楼。

● 在维修时,他必须找到一部电话来联系某个同事,询问某个技术问题。该同事从数据库中查找技术

参考信息,然后提供了详细数据。

● 利用新的技术信息,该技术专家排除了故障,在便签本上详细记录了排障方法,然后返回技术支持

部门。

● 利用他的台式机,该专家将本次呼叫的处理结果输入支持数据系统,然后查看下一个故障通知。

● 他再次穿过园区去往与上次的呼叫地点相邻的一座办公楼。

● 任务完成后,他返回支持中心,再次输入处理细节。在一天当中他将反复重复这种工作模式。

将以上流程与配备先进设备的Corridor Warrior的高效工作流进行比较:

● 早上在停车场,该技术专家打开手机,浏览当前的故障通知。他注意到有一个呼叫是从停车场旁边

的办公楼发出的,他通过无线网络接受了该任务,然后步行到那里。

● 在维修时,他需要一些技术信息。利用手机,他打开了网上技术资料库,查看了所需的详细信息。

● 问题解决后,他将关于该问题的处理数据输入到支持数据库,然后开始浏览其它的故障通知。

● 他看到某个故障的发生地点是去往支持中心途中的某个办公楼,他接受了该任务,在那个地方停

车,排除了故障,然后利用手机记录了所完成任务的细节。

● 该专家到达支持中心后先喝了一杯咖啡,然后开始接下来的一系列工作,通过一个与故障通知数据

库之间的无线连接,所有这些工作都可以高效完成。

Executive Summary

A new breed of mobile worker is transforming the workplace—roaming the corridors of factories, offices and other business locations, armed with handhelds linked to a WLAN. Referred to as Corridor Warriors or campus nomads, they benefit from mobile voice and data communications within campuses, satellite sites, warehouses, retail outlets, distribution centers, medical facilities and many other environments. Workers within this increasingly important segment of the mobile workforce, who often belong to a team, share a common need: to stay in touch and stay connected to information throughout the day.

This same technology empowers mid-level managers who coordinate, supervise or simply participate on various business teams. Their roles may vary—project management, human resources, marketing, or finance—but one element remains the same: close communication and ready access to information are essential.

As illustrated by an analysis conducted by IDC and summarized in this paper, Corridor Warriors represent a distinct and growing category of workers. Enabling the Corridor Warrior can strengthen business processes and improve workplace efficiency. We hope the information in this paper encourages companies to consider the potential productivity advantages for their mobile workforce.

Putting Wireless to Work

What do workers need to perform their jobs more efficiently? In recent years, the answer to this question has been closely related to advances in personal computing and communications technologies. The concept of worker mobility has changed remarkably as light-weight, handhelds that combine voice and data communications have freed mobile workers from their desktop computers.

Just as cellular technology helped mobilize large segments of the workforce, the growing popularity of wireless LAN (WLAN) is now transforming whole categories of job responsibilities—creating a platform for redesigning workflow in the office or on the work site.

WLAN technology florished initially by providing connectivity advantages, primarily as a built-in feature of notebook computers. WLANs, however, are increasingly being adopted as a primary network infrastructure. After performing a total cost of ownership comparison1 , analyst firm Farpoint projected that it is likely that WLANs will become the default network in the enterprise.

The report states: “The reasons for this are many and varied and extend well beyond a beneficial TCO…. Improved ROI as a function of the productivity gains inherent in mobile access to information, however, is likely to be the key in most initial-installation decisions.”A wirelessly equipped notebook may make sense for a worker who can sit down, open it up, power it on and then run useful applications. It makes less sense for workers who need more flexible portability, not to mention rapid, ad-hoc access to information that is not typically available through laptops and similar tools.

Consider these examples:

• The head nurse checking records and verifying patient status as she moves through a healthcare facility would find a notebook computer bulky and inconvenient.

• The warehouse manager moving through a 20,000 square-foot facility, checking shipping records, confirming inventory levels and phoning staff members at headquarters would typically favor handheld simplicity over notebook functionality, especially when the startup and log-in is considered.

• The safety engineer at a mining site often needs access to both voice and data communication while inside the mine tunnels and on site buildings. This person would very likely find a handheld useful and a notebook computer a burden.

Clearly, a hand-held mobility strategy fits well within many different types of environments served by WLAN connectivity. Freedom of movement, pocket-sized portability and virtually instant-on functionality are characteristics that separate this category of mobility from conventional wireless implementations associated with notebook computers.

Beyond WLAN networks, voice and data convergence is another driving force within many organizations. By combining voice and data communications into a single networked infrastructure, communication costs can be lowered, maintenance can be simplified and the scalability of the network can be easier to address. Companies can inexpensively equip a Corridor Warrior with a single device that provides both voice and data communications across an IP network. Many organizations favor the simpler implementation path and the more manageable framework offered by a converged network model. Technologies such as VoIP help leverage the network infrastructure that is in place while relieving the need for a separate voice communication infrastructure. As discussed in Appendix A, Usage Scenarios, data-voice convergence can provide a framework for a wide variety of applications that enable small groups or teams to operate together more effectively.

酒店

酒店是另一种能够借助移动技术提高效率和员工生产率的非办公室商业环境。通常酒店员工有很大一部分时间

是在酒店走廊、房间、休闲室、用餐区进出或监控停车场的活动。通过为管理人员和主要工作人员(如清洁人

员、餐厅人员、安全人员和服务人员等)提供带有语音通信特性的无线手机,工作任务能够得到更好的协调,

工作流的效率也将得到提高。手持设备的使用方式包括:

● 为清洁人员和维护人员配备手机有助于提高工作效率。在客人退房后,员工能够马上收到后端服务

器发出的房间等待清洁的信息。如果某个水池堵塞或停车场的泛光灯烧坏,维修人员能够立即得到

通知。员工可以与一个中央请求线路保持联系,以便更好地安排和协调他们的活动。这种可跟踪的

通信方式有助于提高员工的响应速度并确保迅速及时地完成任务。

● 可以在客人入住时为其发放一个免费手机。该手机将为他们提供酒店地图,帮助他们找到游泳池、

健身房、制冰机、紧急出口等的位置。客人还可以在游泳池旁利用语音通信功能订购饮料、打电话

让服务生将车开到他所在的位置、坐在露台上休息时订餐或对管理人员提出其它要求。

● 配备手机的服务人员能更好地响应来访者的需求,处理上司交给的任务(不管他们在酒店的什么位

置),在发生火灾、洪水或其它自然灾难时访问紧急应对规程,访问客人记录以更好地满足他们的特

殊要求(如提供轮椅、注意客人的特殊饮食限制、为国外客人提供语言服务、为每个客人创造个性

化的体验等)。

● 配有手机的安全人员能够远程接收安全警报,而且能从任何地点监控安全系统,因此提高了工作效

率。他们能够更快速地处理危险情况或可疑活动。管理人员也可以向他们发送信息,提醒他们注意

某个特殊情况或为他们分配任务。

酒店行业的例子表明了员工之间即时通信的优势。这些员工共同组成了一个“团队”,他们共同致力于满足客

人的需求,使他们感觉轻松舒适。无线手机的数据和语音通信功能可面向各种活动提供即时通信,使管理人员

能够更好地分配团队资源并在酒店的任何地方随时响应各种请求。

制造业项目经理

项目经理在许多行业中都是一个重要职位,主要分为制造企业的生产经理、高科技公司的产品经理、游戏开发

公司的项目主管、广告公司的艺术总监等。不管他们的职位如何称呼,他们的日常活动与Corridor Warrior的职

责很一致。项目经理通常负责协调各个部门的工作流,包括营销、财务、研发、设计、采购和发货部门。他们

通常有很大一部分时间是在工作场所内部的各个地方活动,与不同的(通常是虚拟的)团队和个人进行互动。

为项目经理提供一个与关键企业资源连接的设备能够提高工作效率和响应能力。以下是一个汽车制造企业的例

子,但他们获得的移动优势也同样适用于任何其它类似的项目管理环境。

某个地区汽车部件制造企业的产品经理所担心的问题能够通过WLAN连接的无线手机得到有效解决:

● 在一次对生产车间的例行巡视中,项目经理发现焊接监控设备显示某个关键部件上的焊接故障率偏

高。他立刻查看了公司的组织结构图,找到工程开发、质量保证、采购和供应商关系方面的主要负

责人。他在问题升级之前根据每个人的时间表安排了一次会议。

● 采购经理告知项目经理定制螺母即将缺货,于是项目经理用他的手机查看了主要供应商的库存以及

公司的生产计划,然后立即向某个二级供应商订购了200个螺母。这个任务正好在每周的产品EOL

讨论之前完成。

● 生产主管在走廊里迎面遇到运营副总裁,副总裁问起建立新组装生产线一事,生产主管在他的手机

上打开了当前的GANTT图表,向副总裁汇报了下几个阶段的工作。

● 生产线主管向安全委员会报告:生产车间发生有毒溶剂泄漏。产品经理立即得到通知并指示危险材

料部门立刻展开清理工作,防止员工被毒气伤害。相关人员立即从事件现场将该信息输入到系统数

据库,然后向OSHA提交了报告。由于及早发现了事故,产品经理能够更改操作规程来转移溶剂,

以防止更多事故发生。如果团队成员能够保持密切的联系,类似的事故都能迅速得到处理,包括电

力事故、结构问题、有毒材料泄漏等。

这些例子表明了为制造团队配备手持通信设备的益处—这些设备打破了传统移动电话或体积较大的计算设备的

局限性。

医疗机构

现代化的医疗机构是最适于使用Corridor Warrior模式的机构之一。为了提供有效的医疗服务,医院必须对许

多部门的活动进行协调,包括入院手续、急诊、放射检查、病历和护理等。许多医生经常在各个地点活动(医

院、诊所、医学院等),医院的其它各类员工(临床、支持和管理人员)则大部分时间在一个地点活动,但他

们的移动频率也很高。

例如,护士在一天当中可能要去医院的每个科室和许多个病房。他们完成任务所需的信息通常存储在一台或多

台计算机上。如果能为他们提供一种工具,使他们在走廊里也能方便地访问信息并通过基于手机的应用程序输

入数据,那么他们的日常工作将得到很大简化。以电子方式输入的信息能立即供整个医疗机构的人查看和共

享,这与以前使用人工记录的情况截然不同,那时数据必须被人工输入系统,然后再提供给其他人。

无线手机在医疗机构的潜在应用包括:

● 使护士能在为病人注射之前查看病人的药物过敏记录。

● 利用一种自助模式简化病人在挂号处的登记流程。

● 使护理主管能够进入中央服务器查看医疗用品的库存状况、下一周或下个月的护士排班、某个诊断

设备的时间表等其它类似的信息。

● 使身在医院各个不同位置的医生、护士、护工和其它员工之间能够方便快捷地互相通信。

● 允许通过按键访问存储在服务器上的重要信息,这些信息有助于更好地提供医疗服务,如放射图片

分析、药物相互作用表、诊断参考信息等。

利用无线技术,医疗机构能够快速输入并查询信息,协调人员的通信和活动,从而提高整个机构的效率。

零售/批发行业

由于零售机构变得日益庞大和复杂化,无线手机在许多方面对它们大有帮助,如简化运营、改进客户服务和协

调工作流,具体方式包括:

● 利用手机USB端口附带的条形码扫描器,大型百货公司的店面经理能够立即查看某件商品的库存,

并将标签上的价格与数据库记录进行对照。

● 在发现店内Q道货架上有一瓶番茄酱被打破之后,店面经理立即给后勤经理发送了一条信息,请他

派一名工人立刻前来清理。与以前使用店内公共寻呼系统的扩音器不同,现在,他们能够低调地发

送通知,避免了店内通告所产生的噪音。

● 在园艺区,一名售货员迅速打电话给另一名员工,请他将一些装饰花草送到提货区,交给一个刚刚

购买该商品的顾客。该员工可以迅速浏览一下销售信息,然后确定该商品在室外存放区的哪个位

置。顾客在将他的卡车开到提货区后几乎立刻就拿到了该商品。

● 某个顾客告知商店经理一个孩子走失。该经理立刻向店内所有员工发送了一条紧急警报并简单对孩

子的相貌作了描述。一名员工马上看到了正朝后门出口走的孩子,他通过语音通信通知了商店经

理,然后经理马上通知了正在焦急等待的顾客。

● 在临近下班时,安全经理发现他的手机上有一个门被打开的警报。经过查看,他发现发货区某个货

物存放室的门被打开,一名心怀不满的前任员工正在将货物搬到他的车上。他利用手机迅速打电话

给当地警察局,及时制止了犯罪活动。

通过以上方式,移动技术使现代化的大型超市和商场实现了有序的高效运营。

into a secure handheld. In doing so, RIM

provided an essential tool for the mobile

workforce—BlackBerry®. BlackBerry

technology has transformed work habits

across many industries. As a technology

pioneer and innovator, RIM overcame

initial skepticism and made BlackBerry one

of the most popular and highly recognized

communication symbols in the world.

Similarly, the Corridor Warrior vision

elevates communication to a new

level, where the strategic benefits and

business values may not be readily

apparent. Understanding the case for the

Corridor Warrior requires relaxing some

pre-conceived notions and considering

different usage scenarios designed

to enhance business productivity and

improve efficiency. The business case, as

presented in the pages of this paper, is

strong and compelling.

The report states: “The reasons for this are many and varied and extend well beyond a beneficial TCO…. Improved ROI as a function of the productivity gains inherent in mobile access to information, however, is likely to be the key in most initial-installation decisions.”A wirelessly equipped notebook may make sense for a worker who can sit down, open it up, power it on and then run useful applications. It makes less sense for workers who need more flexible portability, not to mention rapid, ad-hoc access to information that is not typically available through laptops and similar tools.

Consider these examples:

• The head nurse checking records and verifying patient status as she moves through a healthcare facility would find a notebook computer bulky and inconvenient.

• The warehouse manager moving through a 20,000 square-foot facility, checking shipping records, confirming inventory levels and phoning staff members at headquarters would typically favor handheld simplicity over notebook functionality, especially when the startup and log-in is considered.

• The safety engineer at a mining site often needs access to both voice and data communication while inside the mine tunnels and on site buildings. This person would very likely find a handheld useful and a notebook computer a burden.

Clearly, a hand-held mobility strategy fits well within many different types of environments served by WLAN connectivity. Freedom of movement, pocket-sized portability and virtually instant-on functionality are characteristics that separate this category of mobility from conventional wireless implementations associated with notebook computers.

Beyond WLAN networks, voice and data convergence is another driving force within many organizations. By combining voice and data communications into a single networked infrastructure, communication costs can be lowered, maintenance can be simplified and the scalability of the network can be easier to address. Companies can inexpensively equip a Corridor Warrior with a single device that provides both voice and data communications across an IP network. Many organizations favor the simpler implementation path and the more manageable framework offered by a converged network model. Technologies such as VoIP help leverage the network infrastructure that is in place while relieving the need for a separate voice communication infrastructure. As discussed in Appendix A, Usage Scenarios, data-voice convergence can provide a framework for a wide variety of applications that enable small groups or teams to operate together more effectively.
