Compare 3-GIS Field Express Chameleon to ArcGIS Mobile out of the box in Server Side Configuration to Client Side Functionality and of course your IT Considerations.

First let’s consider the Server Side Configuration.

Although the ArcGIS Server Mobile configuration tools have come a way, 3-GIS’ Express Conductor still provides serious configuration capabilities by way of comparison. 3-GIS' geospatial engine Express Conductor allows an administrator to perform various configurations and then modify them. Express Conductor is much more in tune with the needs of a utility company and has considered how to handle task-level configuration capabilities and GIS schema changes. When configurations are done, procedures exist to generate the information to quickly get it to the user base.

A Client Side Functionality Comparison Highlights the Extreme Differences.

In turn Field Express Chameleon streamlines the user’s tasks with customized commands. ArcGIS Mobile’s placement methodology is convoluted. Multiple screens have to be accessed in order to place one device. Field Express is designed to be task specific. This is done to minimize training and increase adoption. ArcGIS Mobile has a generic, one size fits all, set of tasks available. Field Express has this capability of Related Records built in, making the addition of an inspection record or the viewing of transformer or regulator unit information easy to accomplish. AGS Mobile has no capability to add or access a feature’s related records.

IT Considerations can be Administrative and Financial

Although a number of differences between the default AGS Mobile application and Field Express Chameleon could be overcome through custom development. However, the ease of which Field Express’s configuration can be updated through Express Conductor should be considered in an effort to reduce future customization requests. In addition it should be noted that between ArcGIS 9.2 and 9.3 major changes were made to the ArcGIS Mobile API resulting in excessive development costs for existing code. By staying with a product such as Field Express, this risk is managed by 3-GIS, not a utility managing a custom project.
