Tensing announced today that it has successfully tested Tensing Mobile GIS on Windows Mobile 6, the newest mobile platform software from Microsoft.

Tensing announced today that it has successfully tested Tensing Mobile GIS on Windows Vista, Microsoft’s newest operating system.

According to Arjan Plomp, Managing Director, “we are in an industry where innovation and change are constant, therefore we must readily adapt to those changes. As a Microsoft Gold Partner we felt it was imperative that our solutions work on their latest operating system.”

Completing the testing was especially important because “a large number of our customers use laptops as their mobile device so should they upgrade to Windows Vista, we wanted to be ready,” said Plomp. “Also Tensing Mobile GIS was designed with the mobile workforce in mind, but our customers have found it to be a cost effective and powerful tool in the office. We wanted to be able to support office users as well should they install Windows Vista.”

The testing was completed by technicians in the Rockville, MD office. All functionalities of Tensing Mobile GIS were tested including but not limited to: redlining, data updates, data queries, zoom, custom draws, and scale controls.
