30 Field Workforce Management

31 Workforce Management (WFM) A suite of components that can be leveraged to build WFM type apps but it always requires custom code The components are out of the box e.g. job scheduling, dispatching, GPS maps, analytics, flexible job type creation, data synch, forms, dashboard portal, workflow, etc, but not the end solution which can be customized as required It is a very flexible modern mobile app and web solution that allows workers to use the app even off-line and sync information in real-time

32 High Level Architecture Workers Red Hat Mobile Application Platform Workers Mobile App Management Reporting & Analytics Mobile BaaS WFM Server-side code DB DB WFM Admin Portal Tablet users Work Order Systems Highly scalable, secure and resilient architecture built from the ground up with latest mobile and cloud technologies Portal Users on Desktop/Laptops
