At the Wireless Leadership Awards 2008, the largest Blackberry conference of the year, 3i Consulting together with British American Tabacco, Viigo and Neverfail won the Innovation of the Private Sector award.
Winner: British American Tobacco, 3i Consulting, Viigo and Neverfail
British American Tobacco demonstrates the power of mobility with three of their many BlackBerry solutions. First, working with 3i Consulting, they've extended mobile access to internal SAP systems, which ensures executives can approve purchase requests and Human Resources needs, even when they're traveling. Bottlenecks in the system are a thing of the past.
Second, Viigo helped harness the power of RSS feeds, giving employees current information that's valuable for professional and personal use on their BlackBerry smartphones. Third, Neverfail created a wireless disaster recovery system for the BlackBerry smartphones that is so seamless employees have no idea anything has happened, even when server maintenance is underway.
