Digitize and Capture Field Personnel Data
Starting with the installation of new assets, numerous field workstreams generate essential information. Until recently, field personnel have had to use paper forms or multiple devices with keyboard entries to capture data. With the advent of mobile technologies such as cellular data connectivity, consumer-grade GPS, bar coding, and high-quality digital photography now available on ruggedized mobile devices at a relatively low cost, mobile data capture solutions bring efficiency and accuracy to collecting installation, excavation and inspection information in the field.
Whether your organization is under pressure to collect specific field data immediately or pursuing a strategic direction to improve data capture and management for the mid-to-long term, consider our field data collection services and solutions.

Benefits of Digital Data
for Field Collection
Focusing on capturing new data digitally has additional benefits. First, halting poor data from entering the system helps mitigate the downstream cost of fixing that data at a future point, a costly endeavor and a risky delay. Second, new data is likely to be more necessary for reporting purposes than old data (even though historical data will often be relied upon as well).
Digital data is more accessible than paper-based records. Third, focusing on new data capture lends itself to a user-based, work-stream-driven approach which helps ensure all data necessary for reporting and analysis is collected (migrating data without this perspective doesn’t always reveal what is missing).
