14. Trimble® Field Inspector Desktop Software

15. Features Centralize management of field devices and task assignments Interoperability with back-office Esri GIS and ODBC databases, such as CMMS, CIS or custom datasets Simple user interface Mobile form configuration Field workflow design Job creation and assignment Map view

16. Simple Management of Field Devices and Task Assignments Project configuration wizard Device setup wizard Automated software updates to the field devices Intuitive user interface allowing user to drag and drop jobs onto field devices Managed data synchronization

17. Quick and Automated Connectivity to Back Office Systems Simple wizard to connect to back office GIS, work and asset management systems Built in connectivity to Esri GIS and ODBC databases Simple data import and export

18. Setup and Configure Task Assignment Details and Workflows Tasks consist of recording information about the inspection of, or the work performed on an asset Templates are created where inspection tasks are grouped and defined as a checklist Checklist(s) are associated to assets There can be multiple checklists associated to an asset

19. Tasks are grouped into Jobs Jobs are assigned to a particular field device All assets in the job are viewable in a table Map view available to visualize asset and task assignment and inspection status Group Tasks into Jobs and Assign To Field Devices

20. Synchronize Data with Field Devices Seamlessly transfer between the Desktop, field device and/or back office system Jobs can be returned to the desktop manually or automatically via Cellular, WiFi or ActiveSync with Bluetooth or USB

21. System Requirements Office-side components of the system can be installed on 32-bit or 64-bit office computers The system requirements for the different system components include: – Communications server: Windows Server® 2003 or 2008, including related Internet Information Services (IIS) components – Office computer where the system database is stored: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 any edition (recommended) – Office computer(s) running the Field Inspector Desktop software: Microsoft® Windows® XP (with SP3) or Windows Vista® (with SP1) or Windows 7 operating system
