ModeOne: Simplifying Mobile Data Collection with SaaS

“We need the data yesterday!”

We’ve all seen this request before. Imagine getting a similar call from your Legal Department as they explain that the company has just received a court order requiring data from numerous employees across the globe—and they need it ASAP. You are now faced with an impossible deadline and need to get data from smartphones across multiple states, countries, and continents… What do you do?

One of our clients found themselves in a similar situation. They needed to swiftly collect and process essential data to comply with a court order. Traditional methods would have taken weeks if not months, but with ModeOne, we flipped a switch, and the client had the data they needed within hours!

 

The Pitfalls of Traditional Mobile Data Collection

Corporations face several pain points with traditional mobile data collection methods, which helps to explain why the conventional approach would have had our client’s back up against the wall and missing deadlines. Some of the main client hurdles with traditional data collection include:

  1. Infrastructure Setup: To collect the data, you have to be able to accept it. Think of it like learning you are getting a Great Dane puppy as a gift. You need a place to put the dog and keep the dog safe, fed, and comfortable. Similarly, with data collection, expensive physical servers have to be kept safe, powered, and cool, presenting a logistical nightmare.
  2. Cloud Configuration: Configuring cloud services to meet specific needs requires specialized knowledge and ongoing management. It’s like having a custom-built car that needs constant tuning and maintenance.
  3. IT Support: Continuous IT support is necessary to maintain and troubleshoot these systems. It’s like having a team of mechanics on standby, which adds to operational burden and costs.
  4. Onboarding Additional Tools: Just when you thought you had spent enough time, money, and energy on the new setup you learn that you will need to invest in litigation integration tools as well. Yet another system to onboard and maintain.

These challenges lead to significant headaches:

  1. Investment: High initial and ongoing costs for hardware, software, and personnel.
  2. Time: Long setup periods that delay project initiation and progress.
  3. Security Risk: Increased vulnerability due to the complexity of managing security measures across various platforms. Every new system or tool adds another potential weak point.
  4. Compliance: Ensuring regulatory compliance becomes more challenging with dispersed systems and manual updates. Staying compliant is like hitting a moving target, with regulations continually evolving.
