TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ — ConnectWise, developer of the leading business operating system designed exclusively for IT service providers, VARs and MSPs, today released the Android edition of ConnectWise Mobile, the world’s most powerful business operating system for the world’s most popular mobile phones.

ConnectWise Mobile enables instant access to ConnectWise anywhere, anytime, from iPhones, Android Mobile Phones, and Windows Mobile Phones allowing IT service providers to carry their business operations with them for instant access and transactions.

The new mobile apps extend the IT service provider’s business, allowing them to work on their timesheets, work schedules, contacts, service tickets and configurations from their mobile devices. Unlike browser-based services that only work with web-connected devices, ConnectWise Mobile allows IT service providers the ability to work even when they are not connected to the Internet and out of their carrier’s coverage area. ConnectWise Mobile then initiates the transfer once they are back in a coverage area.  Even the most resource-intensive and time-sensitive aspects of a service provider’s operations can be handled with unprecedented efficiency.

ConnectWise Mobile was developed by a mobile application specialist to meet the specific needs of IT service providers. Benefits of ConnectWise Mobile include:

  • Automated collection of billable time and schedule management
  • Improved customer response times and customer sign-off
  • Quicker deployment of IT troops by their managers, as detailed service tickets can be created in the field anytime, anywhere
  • Improved SLA compliance by maintaining immediate access to essential information at all times
  • Enhanced communication between dispatchers, technicians and service managers

“With ConnectWise Mobile, sales, technical and executive staff members are fully armed with the tools they need to manage, share, report and measure the effectiveness of their business operations anytime and anywhere,” said ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini. “ConnectWise mobile is unique among mobile apps because of its ability to put the world’s most powerful business operating system in a service provider’s pocket, significantly enhancing their business effectiveness.”

Don Bentz, cofounder of the consulting and integration firm Preferred IT in Columbia City, Indiana, has ConnectWise Mobile for the iPhone. “Without any training, I was able to close tickets when I was on the road, and even approve a vacation request from our HR board. Our field engineers have access without having to open their laptops or connect to the Internet. If field engineers are running late for an appointment, they can notify the client by phone or email with a single click.”

    Has anyone tried the Connectwise App yet? I’ve heard of so many issues and would like to hear some peoples opinions before I make the plunge.

    The Program is terrible, on their website they use a graphic with old windows mobile and cingular wireless logo to show their app…shouldn’t be surprised it’s terrible.
