the
mobile revolution
There's something missing from today's typical
office: employees. As more business is conducted
from home, the field, the airport and hotels,
companies are equipping their workforces with
mobile PCs to keep them connected and
productive, wherever their work takes them.
While this mobile revolution is changing the way
we work, companies are realizing that they
need to equip their mobile workforces with
PCs tough enough to withstand the abuse
that can come from employees working in the
outside world.
the price of mobility
When mobile workforces are equipped with
notebook PCs, employees can be productive
anywhere, anytime. But most laptops are not
designed for work outside the office and are at
a significantly greater risk of being damaged.
Damage can occur in a number of ways:
drops, spills, dirt, dust, extreme temperatures
and vibration. If a laptop fails, there can be
significant repercussions. Even a brief period of
downtime has a ripple effect that can impact
productivity and customer satisfaction.
Most laptops are not built with the outside
world in mind. In fact, industry research indicates
that average annual failure rates are significantly
higher for ordinary laptop deployments. When
downtime and repairs are figured into the
lifetime costs of ordinary laptops, the ultimate
price of those laptops increases substantially.
the rugged mobile
computing solution
Panasonic recognizes the importance of protecting notebook PCs from the challenging environments
you face in the outside world. That's why we've developed legendary the Panasonic Toughbook®-
a rugged line of mobile PCs that protects those components most frequently damaged. The result: maximum
uptime and productivity at a lower total cost of ownership.
Not only are the costs of notebook failures substantial, but
also the negative effects on business processes are often under-reported.
While most organizations are cognizant of the direct costs of
notebook computer repair, few organizations understand the indirect
costs to the IT organization and the opportunity costs to the
enterprise.
