Lake Oswego FD Chooses Motion F5 Rugged Tablet PC's

Motion F5s Are Improving Inspection and Incident Documentation Through Real Time Electronic Documentation and Records Access in the Field

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Motion Computing^®, a leading provider of integrated mobile computing solutions, announced today that the Lake Oswego, Oregon Fire Department has selected the Motion^® F5 Rugged Tablet PC to improve fire code inspection processes and aid in incident documentation.

.

The sealed Motion F5 is a rugged, highly mobile tablet PC providing electronic clipboard functionality that is the ideal productivity tool for field workers who compute and enter data while standing or walking. Its lightweight, rugged design, superior ergonomics, integrated features and adaptable capabilities provide “on-site, real-time” productivity in the harshest environments. Take hold of your workday with the Motion F5. This rugged, ergonomic tool is ideally suited to complement the demands of your day, no matter where your work takes you. See our Motion F5 Brochure (PDF) Download the F5 Brochure (Print-On-Demand PDF)

“Prior to learning about the F5s, we had been using other rugged computers, but they were too heavy, too expensive and too cumbersome to carry around the inspection site”

When firefighters at Lake Oswego Fire Department endeavored to conduct fire inspections they chose the F5 Tablet PCs to achieve an entirely paperless and electronic process. The team felt that by providing the ability to access and input data electronically, fire inspections would be more accurate and the inspectors more efficient and productive. Lake Oswego Fire Department started with the purchase of FIREHOUSE Software^® Mobile Inspection Software, and realized after the deployment that they would need a hardware solution that was rugged enough for harsh conditions and powerful enough to run the solution, as well as additional applications.

“We really needed hardware and software built around our processes and designed to work in our environment,” said Gert Zoutendijk, Deputy Fire Marshal, Lake Oswego Fire Department. “The software solution running on the F5s is easy to use, and the rugged design makes me feel confident that they will be able to withstand the often harsh conditions encountered by our firefighters.”

The fire department’s manual, paper-based method was time consuming and manually intensive, requiring double documentation which often resulted in inaccurate or missing information. After choosing the inspection software, Zoutendijk worked with John Hill of Allegiance Tablet PC Experts, a Motion reseller and expert in tablet PC deployments, who introduced the Motion F5 Rugged Tablet PC.

“Prior to learning about the F5s, we had been using other rugged computers, but they were too heavy, too expensive and too cumbersome to carry around the inspection site,” added Zoutendijk. “The F5 is ergonomic and thin with a convenient integrated handle, and since it’s all enclosed and rugged it protects the system against dust, moisture and other elements.”

Another feature which drew Zoutendijk towards adoption was the F5’s integrated technologies, including the digital camera which is great for documenting inspections. “Sometimes we encounter unusual situations or conditions and the ability to document and attach pictures directly into our records is an excellent benefit,” said Zoutendijk. “The F5 is also configurable with a wide array of accessories such as carrying cases, shoulder straps and mounts that really support the firefighters’ mobility.”

With the adoption of the Motion F5s, the Lake Oswego Fire Department looks forward to rolling out full implementation in the near future. Additionally, Zoutendijk also plans on utilizing the F5 for EMS charting. “When people’s lives are at stake, we need reliable technology solutions that help us improve care, and the F5s are ideal for this application,” added Zoutendijk.

Fiserv and MoneyGram Partner to Offer More Bills for Same Day Payment at Financial Institutions

Online banking users will be able to make urgent payments to hundreds of billers through a broad combined payment network

BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NACHA Payments Booth #400 – Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), the leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, today announced a partnership with MoneyGram International (NYSE: MGI) that will enable consumers to pay a wide variety of household bills through financial institution websites the same day they are due.

“Other same day payment offerings currently in the market have suffered from low adoption due to a small number of available bills and a lack of integration into the existing online payment process”

Consumers who pay bills at one of the more than 3,100 financial institutions that use the CheckFree^® RXP^® online payment service, which includes 23 of the top 50 financial institutions in the United States, will have access to the integrated same day payment option. Initially, bills from more than 100 well-known national and regional companies will be available for same day payment, with the potential to add more than 1,000 additional bills based on consumer demand. Fiserv will utilize MoneyGram’s direct connections with billing companies to deliver the payments.

The bills that will be available for same day payment represent those most common to U.S. households, including auto, mortgage, credit card, utility and mobile phone bills.

Consumers will be able to select same day delivery as part of the normal payment scheduling process, ensuring an uninterrupted user experience at the financial institution website. The expedited payment option will be integrated seamlessly for the user through a drop down menu, and will only appear if a bill is eligible for same day payment.

“Other same day payment offerings currently in the market have suffered from low adoption due to a small number of available bills and a lack of integration into the existing online payment process,” said Todd Lesher, division president, Electronic Banking Services, Fiserv. “Financial institutions can now address these issues by taking advantage of the combined Fiserv and MoneyGram networks to offer a substantial number of bills through a same day payment option that is built into the online payment flow. Offering expedited payments for multiple bills at one website is another way financial institutions can enhance convenience and maintain their position at the center of consumers’ financial lives.”

“Our partnership with Fiserv will enable consumers who pay bills through financial institutions to now also make same day urgent bill payments to the many billers in our extensive network through Fiserv’s leading online bill payment service,” said Dan O’Malley, MoneyGram EVP, Americas. “This partnership is a great complement to the other payment choices MoneyGram already provides to consumers at our more than 40,000 agent locations in the U.S.”

The same-day expedited bill payment option is expected to be available to the more than 3,100 financial institutions that use the CheckFree RXP online bill payment service in the second half of 2010.
