Calvin, Giordano & Associates Introduces the INKforce(TM) Code Enforcement Tracking (CET) Software for Use by Municipal Code Enforcement Organizations on the Toughbook U1
New form factor from reliable computing leader Panasonic opens up
new opportunities for state and local governments to streamline
enforcement operations
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. & SECAUCUS, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
CALVIN, GIORDANO & ASSOCIATES, INC. and Panasonic Computer
Solutions Company today announced the availability of INKforce(TM)
Code Enforcement Tracking (CET) solution for the Panasonic
Toughbook(R) U1, the first rugged ultra mobile PC (UMPC) to integrate
the new low power Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor. The U1 reinvents
handheld computing by integrating robust features previously only
available on a full size PC in a rugged UMPC form factor that can be
used anywhere.
"INKforce software provides a turnkey web-based software solution
for municipal code inspections," said Kyp Walls, director of product
management, Panasonic Computer Solutions Company. "The combination of
the INKforce Code Enforcement Tracking solution and the rugged
Toughbook U1 will enable reliable data access, helping to streamline
government operations."
The mission at INKforce is to put all the necessary tools into the
hands of the mobile field worker to accomplish more without
interruption or costly delays. Drastically different from the typical
enterprise software with a "code module," INKforce CET was designed
exclusively for municipal code compliance. With street-smart
functionality that includes integrated G.I.S., a local tax roll
interface, complete schedule routing, digital integration of the
entire municipal code, and the industry's only signature capture
capability, the mobile code officer becomes a complete mobile office
able to work effectively all day in the field.
Transparent to the officer, all updates are pushed in real time to
the home office where the new data is available for immediate
collaboration. Covering all aspects of the code enforcement process
from initial complaint to final disposition, INKforce software and
reliable Panasonic Toughbook products create a powerful partnership.
Unlike most handhelds, the Toughbook CF-U1 operates on the
full-function Windows(R) XP and Windows Vista(R) operating systems,
giving users unprecedented remote access to feature-rich software
applications in the field. The CF-U1 features a thumb-friendly and
always-accessible backlit QWERTY keyboard that makes data input fast
and easy. State-of-the-art Panasonic LCD technology enables sunlight
viewability with low-power, white LED backlighting. Its fanless
all-weather design also reduces noise, weight and eliminates points of
failure; its twin, long-lasting, hot-swappable batteries enable
battery replacement without disrupting operation; and its magnesium
alloy chassis delivers protection from bumps and drops of up to 4
feet. The solid state drive contributes to reliability, while also
expanding the CF-U1's operating temperature range.
INKforce Software's Code Enforcement Tracking (CET) is available
as a site deployment or SaaS (Hosted) solution. Call INKforce for
pricing details.
