BlackBerry Smartphones better than laptops according Verizon

It seems that Verizon are ready to dump their laptop PC’s that their engineers use in favor of a Blackberry Smartphone. The company is to use their Network Application to use on the smaller device so that their engineers do not have to carry a bigger device that weighs about 8 pound, this will in time save money and make it easier for them to work. Verizon Partner Solutions has a force of 2,250 field technicians and they have seen some encouraging results from their technicians and customers since moving from the laptop to the Blackberry Smartphone. The engineers must love the fact that no longer will they have the big and bulky 8 pound devices, now they have the nice compact 5-ounce product.

The Blackberry that Verizon are using is a first-of-its-kind from the company and has been specially configured so that they can handle the same kind of computing processes that the company used to achieve with their laptops. They are a fraction of the size as well as weight and also in cost, which is something that can only be great for the company. The company’s field technicians need to use automated electronic systems as well as software applications which help to have a daily service workflow; this daily work consists of repairing services for their customers as well as helping to maintain things as well.

In the good old days the Verizon technicians used to go to remote location in the field, and had to use a laptop pc to work on fixing the problem, this must have been cumbersome and limiting, so now using a more portable device it make the whole work process much easier.
