Handango has a new service aimed directly at IT professionals. The Business Solutions Center, unveiled last week at Spring Comdex 2000 in Chicago, helps network managers figure out what applications in the network can go mobile. The center offers accounting, consulting, engineering, legal services and medical applications that are designed for handhelds. Handango claims it has more than 8,000 software packages to choose from. The company says it can help law firms set up systems so attorneys can track their hours via a Palm device.
Doctors can gain remote access to drug and dosage reference tools.
Sales teams needing information about their products can fire up their handheld devices. To use the Business Solutions Center, network managers create an account with Handango by clicking here . They then can use a credit card or purchase order to select bundled software applications, including Palm and AvantGo packages. Once a user has set up an account, Handango creates a portal page for the user, highlighting applications for the user's industry. Other features of the center are software consulting, customer support, and forums with other handheld network managers.
