200% ROI within first year seen by Austin Convention Center
“Tablet Project Leaders: What have key managers learned about their
recent deployments?” will feature panelist Jeff Moore, Database
Administrator, City of Austin, Texas at the TabTimes
TABLET STRATEGY conference on April 27. Moore will show how the
Austin Convention Center eliminated paper-based work orders and achieved
200% ROI with the FileMaker
platform for iPad and iPhone apps.
Moore’s
session will occur immediately after the lunch break on Friday, April
27, 2012 at the Dream Downtown hotel in Manhattan. Attendees at Moore’s
TabTimes panel will learn how Austin’s innovative approach can help
other IT staff quickly and easily create iOS apps and realize similar
business benefits.
The Austin Convention Center, home of the South by Southwest Festival,
is a huge facility covering six city blocks, and is known for its
advanced technology, with miles of fiber and Ethernet cable, over
600Mbps of available bandwidth and providing nearly 6,000 simultaneous
wireless Internet connections.
Moore led the center’s move to mobilize event services with new iPad
apps created, deployed and managed with FileMaker software. Since 1990,
he has been an advocate for Apple products in the enterprise. Moore is
featured in this FileMaker case
study video.
“About 10 percent of all orders take place on the show floor, and we
estimate saving $12,000 annually because we don’t have to travel back to
the service desk to fulfill them,” said Moore. “We also save about five
hours per event by having booth diagrams right on hand – that translates
to additional tens of thousands in annual savings, conservatively.”
FileMaker, Inc., an official sponsor of the conference, is a featured
vendor within the exhibitor showcase.
