I was recently interviewed by sparks, a great magazine about growing your business.

Why usability is the key to success for mobile solutions

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 06:32:00 GMT

Mobile software is all around us. In the past we accessed the internet and our personal data mainly on our desk via a desktop computer, but now the focus is shifting more and more to mobile devices. When I am in the train, half the business people have their smartphone in their hand, the other half is fighting about the power plugs for charging their laptops.

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 09:11:00 GMT

Implementing a new business process or improving and re-engineering an existing one always comes at a price.

Some of these reasons apply to MOMENTUM only and will tell you why we think that we have a great solution; others apply to most other mobile field service solutions too.

My first day's with the iPad

Tue, 18 May 2010 20:58:00 GMT

So, this is the first blog post I write on the iPad (and I do it on the virtual keyboard, not on a Bluetooth one). I wished that I could write it with Pages, but - and that is the first negative thing - I am not able to install it. The reason? Well, I have a US iTunes account, but no credit card assigned to it. Wouldn't help me anyway because the access to the US store is now blocked for me in Germany. The second reason is that the iPad cannot communicate with the German store. As a workaround I had to download the few interesting iPad apps that are in the German store on my MacBook and transfer them to the iPad.

Online applications - dream on ...

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 09:55:00 GMT

Today I realized that it is me who is right, not the others. The topic I talk about? Online and Offline applications.

When I speak to people who are in IT like me and I tell them what I do, many of them tell me: "Why do we need offline applications? What you do makes no sense, we are online everywhere now - 3G, WLAN, something is always available". Ahh, yes? Really? Dream on!
