Mi-Co Signs Alliance With Eiles Creative to Implement Mobile Data Capture Applications

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC. Today, Mi-Co, the mobile data capture software company, announced the signing of a strategic partnership with Eiles Creative, Inc. Eiles Creative is a boutique business, informatics, and entertainment technology firm that specializes in strategic software solutions for its customers. Eiles Creative has extensive experience in the use of the Mi-Forms .NET based software development kit.

"This alliance brings together two organizations that complement each other extremely well,” said Dr. Greg Clary, CTO of Mi-Co. “Mi-Co provides Eiles Creative with the market’s most robust software development environment for building mobile data capture applications, and Eiles Creative provides clients with proven expertise in implementing such applications using the Mi-Forms platform.”

While this alliance formally aligns the two organizations, Mi-Co and Eiles Creative have cooperated closely in the past to bring applications to a number of Mi-Forms users. These clients include the Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority, USDA and DuPont.

“If you’re an enterprise systems integrator or ISV considering going mobile with Tablet PCs or Digital Pens, then choosing the Mi-Forms 5 solutions platform is a no-brainer.” said Ted Eiles, Co-founder and Creative Director. ”The Mi-Forms .NET based platform lets developers spend their brain cycles on creative and innovate mobile computing solutions and not on the heavy-lifting and subtleties of digital handwriting capture systems.”

With an emphasis on efficiency in such verticals as health care and governmental services, there is an increase in the use of digital ink solutions that capture written information on forms and transfer the information directly into a computer. The Mi-Forms System, with its support of Tablet PC and Digital Pen digital ink e-forms, eliminates the need for typing and reduces the need to handle the data multiple times during the workflow process.
