Additionally, mobile devices should also allow professionals to capture, review, edit, and submit billable time information. Expert Handheld Time and Expert Handheld Inquiries allow firms to accomplish these tasks. The new applications leverage Onset Technology's industry-leading METAmessage solution to provide firms with a secure data exchange mechanism that supports the offline capture and online retrieval and synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission.
