RM Mobile Assistant releases you from the records room! RM Mobile Assistant is a bar code scanning application for use with eDOCS RM for the iPhone/iPod/iPad that allows you to process requests, movement, box inventory while away from your desk. For example, a records administrator can take an iOS device along with them while delivering boxes/files to their requestors, and with a couple of quick scans, the file is "moved" and the request "completed". This can greatly simplify and speed up administration while also providing up to the minute accurate location informataion for important files. -------- *** This application REQUIRES a license to the RM feature of WirelessDMS Device Server from Matrix Logic, and eDOCS RM from Open Text ***
