Research shows that nearly half of all Americans own a smartphone with a similar number of federal employees reporting that they use the devices daily to support their mission. Roughly 20% of American adults already have a tablet as well. What’s clear is that Americans are going mobile at an incredible pace with the Mobile Internet expected to soon emerge as the primary gateway to the Web.

Fortunately, today’s smartphones and tablets offer a number of native capabilities that allow users to fully capitalize on all that the Internet has to offer. These features include:

• Rich User Interface – Mobile devices are pioneering a more intuitive and interactive user experience to simplify adoption, enhance productivity and streamline workflow.
• Customizable – Smartphones and tablets can be configured to support a variety of requirements, making them an effective replacement for more costly point solutions.
• Extensible – Applications and devices can be readily upgraded to capitalize on the latest computing advances.
• High Performance Computing – Dollar for dollar and pound for pound, these devices often beat legacy mobile systems handily in terms of processing power, battery life, screen resolution, transmission speeds and many other attributes.
• Sensor Aware – The inclusion of sensors – GPS, cameras, altimeters, barcode readers and iris scanners to name just a few examples – makes them critical nodes within a computing network.

With mobile technology far more ubiquitous and cost-effective than ever before, the potential to improve the productivity and effectiveness of your critical mission initiatives has never been greater.

Mobile Apps that Drive Mission Value

Agilex specializes in the development of agency-specific mobile solutions that measurably advance the mission. While each solution boasts an engaging and intuitive user interface, we are equally proud of the back-end integration and data synchronization that transform existing enterprise systems into more powerful mobile solutions.

We offer deep expertise in the three primary types of mobile apps for the federal sector:

• Mission Applications – Learn More

  Mobile devices can help field workers execute specialized missions more efficiently and effectively. Typically, this is achieved by bringing existing enterprise systems and information together with new tools at the point of interaction to address core mission requirements. Agilex has developed mission-specific applications for a number of federal agencies addressing a variety of use case requirements.

• Personal Productivity & Telework – Learn More

  We develop mobile applications that provide external communities of interest with instantaneous access to government information and resources. A frequent goal is providing citizens with mobile apps to manage and facilitate their interactions with government. Other audiences can include state and local governments, research partners and service delivery contractors.

• Constituent/Stakeholder Interaction – Learn More

  Smartphones and tablets are increasingly being used to replace or augment existing laptops and workstations for functions such as calendaring, email, collaboration and document sharing. The advantage that they offer is portability, providing on-the-go knowledge workers with on-demand access to productivity tools and enterprise information required for executing core business tasks. We develop and customize applications that empower mobile workers to interact fully with these critical enterprise systems.

Based on these scenarios, we have developed solutions and frameworks for a number of common, mission-focused requirements, including:

• Field Inspection – Standardized, template-driven processes for capturing, evaluating and reporting information.
• Emergency Response Management – Providing first responders with situational awareness, geospatial information and other command & control tools.
• Performance Dashboards – Configurable scorecards for assessing real-time operational metrics.
• Biometric Identification – Enabling assured recognition and classification of individuals in the field.
• Asset Management – Identification, authentication and tracking of physical assets across remote environments.
• Case Management – Giving case workers direct access to documents and processes on location.
• Collaboration – On-demand access to productivity tools and enterprise information for executing core business tasks
• Constituent Services – Providing citizens with customized applications to streamline, automate and improve their interactions with government.
• Transaction Processing – Bringing secure e-commerce capabilities to remote locations

We also develop customer-specific applications. For example, we are building medical apps for clinicians at the Department of Veterans Affairs [Insert Hyperlink], eTicketing apps for Amtrak and we are working with the U.S. Census Bureau [Insert Hyperlink] to automate their core survey processes.
