Perseus Development Corporation has released Perseus MobileForms, a new mobile information collection software system. Based on the company's SurveySolutions product family, Perseus said MobileForms is designed to address the growing need for advanced mobile data collection and reporting.

According to the company, with MobileForms, survey forms are deployed on a Palm OS PDA, eliminating the need for paper-based surveys. Form creation is done using Perseus SurveySolutions word processing interface. The forms are transferred to the handheld device using the SurveySolutions wireless Internet library or through a hotsync. Responses are collected and stored on the handheld device and transferred through wireless or wire-based connections to either an Internet SQL database or a desktop Microsoft Access database.

Perseus said MobileForms can be used to collect, analyze, and report data for a wide-range of applications including market research, customer service, field sales reporting, inventory management, site inspections, and field audits. Applications for Perseus' MobileForms exist within the retail, government, market research, healthcare, general business and education markets.

Perseus MobileForms is licensed per handheld device. Support for form design for the Palm device is included with SurveySolutions Professional and Enterprise products version 4.1 and above. Wireless support requires Perseus SurveySolutions Enterprise.
