ESRI(UK) - freeance exclusive distributor

ESRI (UK) has been singled out as the exclusive distributor of the freeance mobile software for the BlackBerry in the UK, (via GEO Informatics).

This lightweight distribution allows mapping content from ArcGIS Server to be displayed on a BlackBerry. As GEO Informatics points out, this is an opportunity for the public sector customers to realise efficiency savings as this application can be installed on an unlimited number of BlackBerry's. Information can be gathered in the field without the need for the field worker to return to the office. I can see that such an efficiency saving can also be extended to any company that uses ArcGIS Server and has a number of field workers.

To complete the software distribution, freeance mobile server is installed on top of ArcGIS Server and is then ready to start pushing maps out. The theory is that there is no need for any programming in this distribution.
