Mi-Co’s Next Step: Support for the Logitech io2 Digital Pen with Bluetooth Technology

May 09, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Research Triangle Park, NC – To continue its role as the leading enterprise mobile data capture company, Mi-Co announced today that the company is offering the Logitech® io™2 Digital Pen with Bluetooth technology for use in pilot programs.

“Mi-Co is committed to providing our enterprise customers the flexibility they desire,” said Dr. Greg Clary, Chief Technology Officer at Mi-Co, “and we are taking steps to support and exploit the next generation of Logitech digital pens. We are pleased to be able to offer the new Logitech io2 Digital Pen as part of our pilot program.”

The Logitech io2 Digital Pen with Bluetooth technology allows users to digitally capture their handwritten forms and then transmit that data to another Bluetooth wireless device, such as a smartphone or PDA. In this way, the user can interact directly with back end systems and run business rules associated with data capture - advantages often associated with a Tablet PC. The digital pen is inexpensive compared to a Tablet PC and can be used in places where Tablet PC use is not feasible due to environmental conditions.

“The combination of Logitech digital pens with Mi-Forms has helped Mi-Co customers cut costs and improve efficiency by automating the data collection process,” said Vanessa Mills, senior sales development manager for Logitech’s digital writing division. “The Logitech io2 Digital Pen with Bluetooth wireless technology will help mobile workforces instantly transmit and share valuable data with their organizations – in real time.”

The Logitech io2 Digital Pen featuring Bluetooth will be on display at the Mi-Forms User Day in Research Triangle Park, NC on May 10.
