LBS PLANNING

Strategic evaluation and planning enables an Omnilink Professional Services client to clearly define the opportunity for leveraging advanced location technologies for tracking their people and assets. Omnilink’s LBS Planning services takes a clients LBS Strategy and builds a specific implementation plan to help ensure success and also establish the baseline measurements that will be used to determine the results generated by the LBS project.

LBS Planning services fall into four main categories resulting in a complete business plan and informed updates to a client’s portfolio of planned projects.

LBS Roadmap: The addition of location to enterprise systems holds much promise for most organizations, but assuring the best return requires a thoughtful plan on what, how and when to deploy. Omnilink provides these critical answers through Omnilink’s LBS Roadmaps, which are tailored to a client's environment, industry and strategic goals.

LBS Feasibility Study: Industry studies are necessary when considering the launch of new location services within any company. Omnilink’s LBS Feasibility Studies enable companies to determine their organization’s readiness based on the solution scope, as well as the expected returns from the new location enabled tools.

Product Certification: When implementing new location-based services, partnering with a company that has deep relationships with the best third parties available is a critical success factor. A well run Product Certification Program attracts the highest level of support from third-party vendors and ensures that device capabilities are evaluated effectively. Omnilink’s TestTrack program designs a certification process specific to a client’s LBS plan and ensures the expertise of Omnilink’s software, firmware, electricial, network and quality engineers are leveraged to ensure appropriate device selection and integration.

Cost Avoidance ROI: When a project is dependent on the realization of cost savings, Omnilink leverages analytical and market comparisons to perform the prototyping necessary to help ensure success. Omnilink’s FocalPoint™ web services allow for rapid prototyping that provide measurable proof of concepts.

After a company has identified the best LBS Strategy for their business model and established a plan for effectively implementing the solution, the next key to success is LBS Application Development.
