Mobile Village Star Awards 2008

The seventh annual Mobile Star Awards™ program honors and promotes top
companies, products, deployments, and leaders in mobile and wireless technology. Winners are chosen by subscribers to Go Mobile®, MobileVillage’s email newsletter sent to technology executives, mobility professionals, IT managers, developers, and top technology journalists.

GeoAge FAST has been recognized with the following Mobile Star award:
Gold Award for Enterprise Software – Data Capture / Data Collection “Despite the economic slowdown, recent studies predict minimal impact on the mobile and wireless industry,” said MobileVillage editor Gary Thayer. “People have fallen in love with mobile productivity and entertainment products, and there’s a real desire to discover and share the latest and greatest. This year we had a record 2,300 votes from both MobileVillage readers who are eager to share their knowledge.”

Since its introduction in 2005, GeoAge’s FAST (Field Adapted Survey Toolkit) software has enabled unparalleled capability for mobile data collection. FAST was designed for rapid deployment of “mobile digital forms” using PDAs, laptop or tablet mobile computers. FAST also allows easy integration of GPS locations, photographs, videos and digital signatures with data records. Users can implement large-scale FAST data collection solutions over a nationwide area and begin work on the same day.

“We’re very proud of this Gold Award from MobileVillage and the ongoing positive response from FAST users,” noted Jeff Arnold, president of GeoAge. “Each FAST user has discovered significant time and cost savings by sending FAST into the field. Discrepancies are down dramatically, and their data has become more complete, more relevant, more reliable, and more usable. And they get the data in real time, every time.”
