Tablet PCs Help Nationwide Insurance Resolve Claims Quickly and Accurately 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Everybody benefits when a field adjuster from Nationwide Insurance, one of the world's largest insurance and financial services companies, resolves a claim on-site. Customers receive their check immediately, and Nationwide obtains more accurate estimates, reducing the time and expense needed to resolve each claim. Though completing claims on-site has been a goal at Nationwide for many years, the difficulty of collecting and processing information in the field often prevented on-site resolution. Now, with Tablet PCs running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Nationwide's adjusters travel to a claim site with all the tools they need to record the incident information and process the claim. Using Tablet PCs, adjusters input information directly into their estimation programs while inspecting damaged items.

University Improves Collaborative Hands-On Learning With Tablet PC Projects 0000-00-00 Microsoft

In 2002, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) successfully incorporated the Tablet PC into the collaborative design phase of an international robot-design competition. Since then, both faculty and students have been using the Tablet PC running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 to enhance the learning process for project-based courses. Improved drawing capabilities and an operating system that easily handles mathematics and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) programs set the Tablet PC above desktop computers when students use virtual-design learning aids. The built-in wireless capabilities and portability of the lightweight Tablet PC increased students' productivity, simplified team work, and improved access to Web-based services, including an essential online peer-review process for completing coursework.

Elevator Maintenance Field Engineers Achieve Speedier On-Site Service With Tablet PCs 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Mitsubishi Electric Building Technology Service Company (MELTEC) provides maintenance services for buildings systems, including elevators and escalators. MELTEC field engineers responsible for on-site maintenance of these transportation systems use portable maintenance computers to collect data required to perform repairs and build customized service programs for clients. MELTEC's portable computers were wearing out due to a harsh work environment, and engineers found keyboarding difficult in cramped work sites. MELTEC needed a more robust mobile hardware platform to support its field engineers. It chose the slate Tablet PC running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition Version 2005. Using pen-based computers to retrieve and collect data on-site reduced the need for carrying technical documents, increased engineers' efficiency, and improved customer service.

UK Care Agencies Integrate, Improve Services With Information-Gathering Solution 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) provides community care services to Cambridgeshire residents, often working with health care providers. To improve coordination between the two jurisdictions, it wanted to find a way for health and social workers to share information about elderly patients under the care of both disciplines. CCC used Windows XP Tablet PCs with the Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 information-gathering program so care workers can gather information while visiting patients at home or in the hospital and submit it to a Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 messaging hub for access by other related agencies. InfoPath, working with this back-end system, is a key enabler for a new multi-disciplinary Overview Assessment Protocol to reduce "Bed blocking".

Zoo Brings Curricula to Students With Disabilities Using Tablet PCs 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Chicago's Brookfield Zoo wanted to broaden the reach of its CONNECTIONS program, which helps students build on classroom learning by conducting field research and other activities at the zoo. Over one thousand students with disabilities often have difficulty participating in programs that involve animal observations and data collection on paper. The zoo teamed up with Quilogy to design a solution for use on Motion Computing Tablet PCs running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. The solution employs built-in accessibility features of Windows XP to enable students who have visual, hearing, or physical disabilities to participate.
