Power Audit
Getting the right data into the hands of corporate decision-makers -
quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively - is key to the market
intelligence. Attracting the attention of companies looking for a remote
data collection solution is straightforward. The solution must offer a
significant advantage by reducing operating expenses and ultimately cost
of sales; and provide fast-track information that translates into a
competitive edge.
PowerAudit's demonstrated success is attracting the attention of industry
leaders. Why?
Because PowerAudit:
Runs on readily available inexpensive hardware (no costly proprietary
devices needed); Makes use of local service providers to transmit the data
(dedicated lines are unnecessary) ; Its design allows for controllable and
flexible questions (no requirement to ask the same questions week after
week); The software suite enables quick turn-around time that will soon
become a new industry standard; and It arms American decision-makers
with the information they need to compete and win in an intensely
competitive market. The software is designed with back-end flexibility.
The types of questions, frequency, and retail environment can all be
readily customized. A CE Windows computer, Windows NT and Internet
connection is all that's needed to run PowerAudit.
PowerAudit is built around Internet standards.
The Power Audit Edge Powerful data must be accurate, current, secure and
available on a state, regional or national basis. It must be easily
customized, collected, transmitted and put in a form that is readily
accessible and useful to key management personnel. PowerAudit quickly
turns data into decisions by using widely available hardware, existing
competitive communications channels,
and intuitive, easy to use software. The PowerAudit edge comes from both
the software's architecture and its use of commercial hardware, computer
platforms and the Internet.
The Power Audit Suite
The PowerAudit Suite is a complete, general-purpose data collection,
management and reporting system. Data is collected by a field team using
PowerAudit software on any Windows CE device (hand-held computer).
Data collection decisions are generated at a central site and transferred
to the field team via FTP (file transfer protocol). Once the information
has been collected it is uploaded to the central site for storage and
web-based reporting.
The System
The PowerAudit Administrator is a set of web pages an administrator uses
to configure and control the PowerAudit system.
Recent News
On March 2, 2000, Mr. John Maxwell, President of IVP Technology
Corporation
announced that PowerAudit software now has full wireless capability
through the latest generation of handheld computers. One of the major
engines driving the growth of the handheld computing market is wireless
communications. PowerAudit's developer, Orchestral Corporation, conducted
extensive field-testing to determine the compatibility of wireless devices
and PowerAudit with results showing no degradation of PowerAudit's
performance. This is a significant development for IVP because most
handheld PC manufacturers are focusing their attention to introducing
wireless devices for greater user convenience.
IVP is the sole distributor of PowerAudit software in the United States
and the European Economic Community. Built around Microsoft's Windows CE
operating system, PowerAudit software provides a secure platform for
remote data collection and the rapid, efficient and cost effective turn-
around of market intelligence into the hands of corporate decision makers.
PowerAudit utilizes the Internet in its communication and delivery
architecture. PowerAudit is one of the few business software solutions
currently available that is designed exclusively for the handheld
computing market. With the pending IPO of Palm, the handheld computing
market has received a lot of press and investor attention in recent weeks.
According to industry analysts, worldwide shipments of handheld computers
like the Palm Pilot and Windows CE devices are anticipated to more than
quadruple from fewer than five (5) million units in 1997 to an estimated
21 million by 2003. This represents a significant growth in projected
industry revenue from
approximately $1.3 billion in 1997 to over $47.2 billion by 2003. IVP is
ideally positioned to participate in this explosive growth market by
supplying the applications software so actively sought by manufacturers of
the handheld computers.
On June 29, 2000, IVP Technology Corporation announced that Orchestral
Corporation is developing a Palm OS version of the PowerAudit client
software. Orchestral has verbally agreed to grant the license of the Palm
version of PowerAudit software to IVP upon completion of development.
PowerAudit is wireless-capable, market-intelligence software that enables
remote data collection, with multiple applications for any industry that
requires surveys, remote database collection, sales and field force
automation, and mobile computing.
"With the addition of support for Palm Inc.'s (PALM), Palm OS v.30
handheld platform to PowerAudit's current support of Microsoft's (MSFT)
WindowsCE H/PC, IVP now has access to 90% of the handheld PC market. It is
important to leverage the fact that Palm Inc. commands roughly 70% of the
handheld market, and recent improvements to the Palm OS have enabled
PowerAudit to operate on the Palm platform. The addition of Palm support
not only expands the overall market for PowerAudit, but offers PowerAudit
users a broader range of applications within their enterprises," says Mr.
John Maxwell, President of IVP Technology Corporation.
Customers, prospects, and investors can read more about the upcoming Palm
release of PowerAudit and view a multimedia demonstration of the
PowerAudit suite at their website www.ivptechnology.com. The PowerAudit
suite helps companies take control of their data collection:
Data is collected and turned into reports quickly (often within 24 hours).
Questions are controllable and flexible eliminating the need to repeat
questions or information fields from survey to survey. Survey information
is self-interpreting with the data being presented much like a web page.
Data collection can be customized per survey, per machine or per location.
Redundancy is built into the system. If a machine isn't functioning or a
data collector is absent, the assignment can be moved to a new machine
and/or collector. Infrastructure costs are low as PowerAudit is designed
for use with local service providers eliminating the need for expensive
dedicated lines. The cost of the hand-held computers is low compared to
the proprietary devices commonly in use for data collection. Data
collection training is simple and brief. A train-the-trainers program can
be completed in one hour. The software is designed with back-end
flexibility. The types of questions, frequency, and retail environment
can all be readily customized. A CE Windows computer, Windows NT and
Internet connection is all that's needed to run PowerAudit.
