JMI Mechanical Services is a commercial heating, ventilation, and AC company located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and it has recently implemented AT&T's two-year netbook contract to keep employees connected when on the job.
AT&T is providing JMI technicians with Acer netbooks with 3G access as well as "a third-party application that pushes important data and company news to technicians, whether at home, on the road or in the field." JMI President Rick Johnson commented on the effect this netbook plan is having on the company's productivity:
"A mobilized, expert service force gives us greater business velocity in today's marketplace, and we started to see the benefits of our netbooks from AT&T within the first week of deployment… Thanks to AT&T, our technicians are connected wherever they are to the information and resources they need to provide the service our customers have come to expect over the past 28 years."
The 3G netbook service will also be used to coordinate technician placement and help JMI attend to customers' needs.
