MWI Veterinary Supply Selects MobileDataforce’s Professional Services Group

Boise ID, - March 1, 2009 MobileDataforce (www.mobiledataforce.com), a leader in the development of enterprise class and business critical software solutions, announces that MWI Veterinary Supply Inc., a leading national distributor of animal health products, has selected MobileDataforce’s Professional Services Group to co-develop a mobile solution.

"MobileDataforce was a great fit to work with our internal IT group based on their Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status and their extensive knowledge of mobile solutions." said Jim Hay, VP & CIO of MWI. "We also saw this as a great opportunity to work together with a Boise-based company in an effort to support the local economy."

The solution is an inventory application that is provided by MWI to their customers to assist them in inventory tracking and enable them to easily build their orders for veterinary supplies. The solution was originally written on a platform that will soon be phased out and needed to be enhanced for better integration with an advanced web store that has been developed by MWI. With the help of MobileDataforce, the mobile application will be redesigned making the user experience simpler and more streamlined.

"Our flexible project process allows us to engage with our clients using a style that makes sense for their business. Depending on the customer and on the project, we have the ability to solve their problem using multiple technologies and a wide range of engagement models," stated Eric Shankel, Professional Services Manager for MobileDataforce. "In the case of MWI, we are planning to utilize a mix of project and staffing models. Since the project involves replacing an existing solution, a co-development effort with the MWI IT organization makes the most sense. We plan to place a Senior Developer onsite at MWI to generate the kind of collaborative development environment that we strive for on all of our projects. MWI’s development team is clearly talented and we’re excited about what this team can produce together."
