Tablet PCs 'Next Logical Step' in Pickering Education | 0000-00-00 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| Pickering College is one of Canada's distinguished independent schools for grades JK through 12. Use of PCs became so extensive in Pickering College that teachers had difficulty scheduling computer time for their classes. In an independent school with high expectations from parents, teachers and students, "Ddoing without" wasn't an option. The next logical step for Pickering College was implementing traditional laptop computers for their grade 9-12 students. On the way to the next logical step, however, Pickering's technology committee was introduced to tablet PCs. That changed everything. With HP Tablet PCs, users enjoy a combination of a powerful notebook computer and - with a simple twist and click - a lightweight, highly mobile tablet that can be written and drawn on with a digital pen.

Construction Opportunities for Mobile IT Case Study | 0000-00-00 | Construction Opportunities for Mobile IT |
| Piling data is passed between many people on site such as work gangs, foreman, suppliers, engineers and the client. Up-to-date information is essential to ensure conformance to the specification. Accurate site records are required to prove this conformance and to aid the efficient management of piling works. The management and control of piling works relies heavily on paper-based documentation used and completed on site. This, coupled with regular changes in design during construction, inevitably leads to errors. This can result in non-conformance with the specification and costly remedial work. Tablets utilising bespoke software access a central database on site via the wireless network. This allows operatives to directly access the data they require.
