"For Dobie, one of the main advantages of the tablet is its ability to process information quickly.

"When a helicopter's hovering over a tower, it could have taken three minutes to do the data gathering (with a pen and paper). Now, with the tablet, we do it in 11 to 17 seconds, and we gather more information than we used to," he says.

Some of the data recorded two or three years ago on paper still isn't entered into the main database, he says.

"Before, data was always incomplete and there was a high error rate. Now we're having the data instantaneously available the next day. The data is accurate, we're collecting more than we were before, and we're seeing a 400 per cent productivity improvement."

Speeding things up for data collectors is the tablet PC's electronic pen and drop-down menus, which make a keyboard unnecessary, he says. " -- ITBusiness.ca
