Connecticut Policy and Economic Council Deployment of River Run OnSite Software Receives Award from Mobile Insights

Las Vegas, NV, September 12, 2000: River Run Software Group®, Inc., today announced that the implementation of its popular River Run OnSite TM software by the Connecticut Policy and Economic Council (CPEC) has been awarded a Moby Award by Mobile Insights at the Go Mobile 2000 conference in Las Vegas. Mobile Insights, the leading information source for the mobile computing and data communications markets, created the Moby Awards to honor the best and finest implementations of mobile computing technology in end user organizations.

When CPEC’s City Scan project, which trains high school students and other neighborhood residents how to capture accurate information on neighborhood conditions to promote better public services, was looking for a solution, the individuals responsible for making the project a success decided to use state-of-the-art technology that would provide information about community conditions to government agencies as quickly as possible.

CPEC selected the River Run OnSite Windows CE-based software product because of its leading-edge features, including comprehensive management of multiple field-based questionnaires and surveys, analysis-based reporting, and the ability to quickly transmit the data captured on the mobile device to the home office database over wireline or wireless networks with just one tap. For the data collection portion alone, CPEC staffers say it has reduced the time to gather and distribute information by more than sixty percent.

“River Run OnSite software enabled a small non-profit organization like CPEC to turn a potential administrative nightmare into a technology breakthrough,” said Michael P. Meotti, President of CPEC. “OnSite gave us the unbeatable combination of being so user-friendly to permit fast implementation and so flexible to capture the most powerful information.”

“It is gratifying to see that organizations such as CPEC and the City Scan project are using technology to help build a better future for all of us,” said Theresa Nozick, Industry Analyst and Vice President of Publishing, Mobile Insights. “We are pleased that once again River Run’s products have been recognized for their positive impact on the end user.”

“We were very pleased that the solution deployed by the Connecticut Policy and Economic Council based on our River Run OnSite software has been recognized by such a prestigious organization as Mobile Insights,” said Dr. Trilok Manocha, president of River Run Software Group. “We are right now working with CPEC to see how we can improve the solution by incorporating additional features that can benefit communities even further.”
