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.
