[11:48am] sophiap: We should play the enterprise/mobile drinking game [11:48am] gletham: oops sorry I meant Avenza [11:48am] DruidSmith: Some of the issues in mobile data collection involve collection of potentially sensitive data (PII, enforcement/litigation sensitive etc) - in some cases, encryption or security is needed [11:48am] AlexMahrou joined the chat room. [11:48am] AlexMahrou: its correlated with the change in form factor and adoption of the form factors [11:49am] DruidSmith: Also, good means of seamlessly pushing data back into whatever weird and disparate backend systems that folks may have [11:49am] ChrisMcClain: Mobile conectivity and speed has been the controling factor in in mobile Data colection interaction [11:49am] DruidSmith: Data may need to go through workflows for vetting - operational data (ER) vs. data that one can publish readily... [11:49am] Betaos left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [11:49am] AlexMahrou: ChrisMcClain, absolutely. Infrastructure is the limiting factor [11:50am] AlexMahrou_ left the chat room.

[11:50am] ChrisMcClain: and cost of connectivity [11:51am] AlexMahrou: nomadic has been the best for us. Realtime is toooo troublesome for dynamic field activity [11:51am] kas673 left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [11:53am] ChrisMcClain: Also depends on where your backend is big issue - Cloud vs local. [11:53am] DruidSmith: Lots of areas in US that still don't have good coverage - and often they are the ones that have the worst data [11:54am] DruidSmith: Alaska basemaps are often misregistered and untrustworthy for example - field GPS data will not align. [11:54am] geo_will: lots os spaces up here in teh frozen north with no connectivity [11:54am] geo_will: iridium does a decent data burst by satellite now [11:54am] AlexMahrou: yeah either too many subscibers (sf or ny) or not enough cell towers (midwest) [11:55am] MF__ left the chat room.
