Moreover, EUROCOM mobile workstations provide a better Return on Investment than traditional workstation class desktop computers. Where is the office going? As concept of modern office is changing towards a portable/mobile or home based office, majority of companies today need to make their employees fully mobile, working from various places or on the road. That means decrease of traditional work space: companies go into smaller and cheaper workspace (smaller cubicles). Portable Office enables workers to get rid of a traditional desktop computer, get on the road, work from home, meet clients, deliver presentations, or even get together with other team members in a boardroom during a brainstorming session. A portable computer system allows to meet operational and job requirements of mobile workers ( i.e.: engineers, graphics designers, traders, financial professionals, sales reps, etc. � different workers needing different computer form factors).

Mobile Workstations as alternative to workstation class desktop computers Professionals using desktop-based workstations are limited today to working with large expensive systems that are complicated to operate, to fixed work locations, lack of portability, and the need to work and maintain at least two computer systems, one in the office and one outside, resulting in high operating costs ($6000 USD per system in yearly cost of support). They are unable to work outside of office due to lack of sufficient power and flexibility of traditional notebooks currently available on the market. With a Mobile Workstation, design professionals, producers, engineers, architects, programmers, animators, film editors and special effects gurus are no longer be limited to working on multiple computer systems. Now, they can practice their craft anywhere they see fit equipped with a portable single computer solution capable of running 3D modeling and engineering software. A growing section of outsource professionals, freelance workers, especially in the finance and accounting market, does also need to be mobile while demanding a high degree of productivity from their equipment. Gamers are looking more and more at mobile workstations that allow them to come together at LAN parties and compete en-masse for prizes and pride. Hardware customization is an important factor for all gamers and Eurocom mobile workstations have found much success with this group already. A EUROCOM mobile workstation provides a better Return on Investment than a traditional workstation class desktop computer due to numerous benefits of portable high-end computing technology: users get a complete single computer unit with integrated LCD display (no big and heavy cpu tower to connect to a monitor and configure, no messy bundle of cables on desk) When considering workstation class desktop computer replacement users have options: - to stay with traditional desktop-based computers - to get notebooks for some PC projects Most computer purchasers still think of a desktop-based PC as a main computer workstation and consider adding a laptop/notebook for any mobile computing needs. A mobile workstation saves users money by replacing two computer systems (desktop and notebook) with just one complete computer solution that is fully upgradeable and fully configurable yet portable. Users purchase only 1 computer instead of 2. EUROCOM mobile workstations are ideal systems for corporate customers who used to buy workstation class desktop computers and notebooks, but who now do not want to exceed their IT budget buying both. Users can upgrade aging desktop PCs to the latest and portable computer technology and: - lower IT management cost, - reduce energy consumption and cost, - prolong the lifespan of new equipment through future expandability of fully upgradeable and configurable mobile workstations. An average computer today has a life span of eighteen months, while EUROCOM systems offer a much longer life thanks to upgrade ability of motherboards, memory, hard drive, optical drives and graphics. When planning computer purchases, forward-thinking IT managers and buyers should consider migrating to more innovative mobile workstation technology, which offers a perfect alternative to existing workstation class desktop computer hardware. Fully upgradeable and configurable mobile workstations provide much higher Return on Investment, help reduce power consumption and allow workers to become mobile by taking their work outside of office or on the road when necessary.
