Authors: Martin Andrée

The increased use of Tablet PCs and smartphones and the availability to stay connected wherever you are creating new opportunities for mobile workflows. For many employees, it is in the current situation a given that you have Internet access, e-mail, maps, games, etc. on your phone, but what is the business case for a organization to invest in the development of mobile apps? In Lantmäteriet there is an ongoing work with a vision to make mobile GIS available as a support tool for cadastral services on the android platform to lower costs, increased legal certainty, enhance customer service and improved working environment for the land surveyors.
