adj. 1. Unwise to implement or maintain in practice: Refloating the sunken ship proved impractical because of the great expense. 2. . The small screen size makes the fonts too small to read and navigating the application is difficult without a keyboard and function keys. Whenever the device loses coverage, the workflow is interrupted, requiring the user to start over when coverage is restored. Strategi mobileACCESS has been purpose-built for use on small portable devices and engineered to resolve these usability challenges. Its innovative features also make it a superior solution for laptop Same as laptop computer. laptop - portable computer and sub-notebook power users. "Emulation solutions have been around for a long time, but they have not performed well on small, limited-capability devices such as PDAs and handhelds. Despite the business benefits, most companies were not successful in deploying these types of solutions," said Chris Lategan, chief executive officer. "Strategi mobileACCESS is a new breed of solution built to make the wireless PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). a robust and capable client for enterprise host applications, overcoming the limitations with smart software. It looks great and is fast and fun to use, which should ensure strong adoption by mobile workers." Strategi mobileACCESS enables mobile devices to become fully functional iSeries clients, providing access to enterprise 5250 enterprise applications over WiFi and wide area networks. It installs natively in the IBM iSeries host, avoiding the potential risks of gateways and front-end processors front-end processor - (FEP) 1. A small computer necessary to enable an IBM mainframe using SNA to communicate beyond the limits of the dinosaur pen. 2. A small computer controlling the screen and keyboard of a Symbolics 3600 LISP Machine. . Strategi mobileACCESS' smart technology features include: * SmartPanning[TM] -- Enables the use of larger, easier-to-read fonts by dynamically panning the screen as the user navigates the application * Hotspot Navigation -- Easily navigate applications by touching dynamically generated hotspots * Dynamic Function Icons -- Generates dynamic icons to replace function keys and other common functions with touch screen navigation * Intelligent Screen Compaction -- Dynamically removes wasted screen space to maximize the viewable data at the optimum font font or typeface or type family Assortment or set of type (alphanumeric characters used for printing), all of one coherent style. Before the advent of computers, fonts were expressed in cast metal that was used as a template for printing. size * Workflow Continuity -- Enables user to move in and out of network coverage without interrupting the session and losing work in progress Workflow continuity has been a significant challenge in the past. Imagine using a barcode scanner See bar code scanner. and scanning 30 of 50 pallets when the wireless connection is lost or the scanner is dropped and broken. The result is lost work and the need to start over. With Strategi mobileACCESS, the user can pick up another device, log back into the application and continue where they left off. When wireless access is interrupted, workflow remains uninterrupted after network coverage is restored.
