Mobile professionals, especially sales professionals, need to send various
documents, sales literature, or standard template-based but personalized
letters to their clients while they are still in the field.
In the past, this could
be done only by coming back to the office. Several vendors have
started offering this functionality from the field without the sales
professional ever going back to the office. By using specific
commands and address information, documents and even e-mail
attachments can be sent to the clients without ever going back to
the office. In fact, one vendor, Retrieval
Dynamics Corporation, is offering a unique implementation of
this functionality. Not only can you send it electronically, but you
can send the documents by fax, Fedex or ordinary mail, so long as
you have loaded these documents on to its server. Once the
electronic version of these documents is uploaded to Retrieval
Dynamic's document server, by sending a simple command and the name
of the document from a handheld device, PDA or smart phone, the
document can be sent to one or multiple recipients in subscriber's
address book.
In another implementation (non-ASP version),
this can be done by on a server behind the firewall of a
corporation, as well.
This is how it works:
