iPad Repair: Apple Is Telling Who Makes Their Parts (What Is An OEM Part And Why Do You Care?)

After decades of secrecy, Apple is spilling some information about who makes components for them. Some of the companies named for the majority of what is made for Apple: Intel Corp., Broadcom Corp., Amphenol Corp. and Sanyo Electric Co. Why is this important or not important for you? Before we go there, what has Apple really told the world - probably not a lot of information.
What is OEM?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. In the case of the repair of your iPad, that would be the company that made the glass (for example) for your iPad in the first place.
Just because Apple named some names, the game still remains.
China has a population about four times the USA. As you can imagine, there are manufacturers everywhere in that population. Intel Corporation (for example) may be one of Apple's suppliers, but the bigger question is, who are Intel's subcontractors in China? It could be a very long list.
Add to that: China is famous for making good copies and bad copies of nearly everything. In other words, if you hold a replacement glass for the iPad in your hand, and it has the Apple logo on it, you have no way on this earth of knowing if it is OEM or not. All you CAN know is - does it fit properly and work properly?
Is it important to use OEM parts?
You may have seen the insurance company ads. Usually, it is an ad by an insurance company suggesting you use them because they insist your car be repaired using only OEM and not "after market" parts. They might show you a car repaired with a poorly made after market fender, and the same model repaired with the correctly fitting OEM fender. Why do they do this?
The insurance company wants you to believe that they have superior standards, and therefore it is worth paying their superior premiums.
What can you do if you can't tell if a part is OEM?
If you have your Apple device repaired by Apple, the parts will be OEM. If you have your Apple device repaired by an independent Apple device repair shop, they won't know if what the parts they use are OEM. They may tell you they are OEM. They may believe they are OEM, but there is no way for them or you to know for sure.
Here's what to do:
As in anything, there are good, great and so-so iPhone, iPad and iPod repair shops. The good independent shops use parts which fit well and work well. Those same shops offer a real warranty that covers parts and labor.
Your job is to let them know (before they work on your iPad) that you expect a part which fits perfectly, and operates perfectly - up to the standard of the original.
WARNING:
Take a few minutes while deciding where to have your iPhone, iPad or iPod fixed, to go to the review websites, and see if you can check out the repair shop you're thinking of using.
Look, yelp, Google, Yahoo and others are not perfect, by far.
A small business can be a 5 Star one day, and fall to 3 Star with a few bad reviews. We were 5 Star on yelp. One day, a very happy customer wrote a perfect review, but for whatever reason, didn't rate us as 5 Star, but did rate us as 4 Star. That great review lowered our yelp rating to 4.5 Star.
However, that doesn't mean that review websites don't matter, they do. Do your best to a feel of the flavor of the place from the reviews. Once you get to the shop, remember to make a big deal about how critical you're going to be about the repair - you'll be looking at the fit, finish, and function of the repair. Remember to make it a big deal before they do the repair.

Android Apps And Their Integration With An ERP Solution

ByAndrew V Mark
Mobile field personnel are always at wit's end when they are out in the field for their regular rounds. It is very difficult for them to first note down sales orders manually and then again update the information once they are back in their office. They have to manually enter the data again to the company ERP database. This is wastage of resource time since there is a definite time lag in the sales order update. Chances are that once the sales order is made, the personnel might realize that they are short on inventory once they are back. Additionally, sales personnel might find it hard to plan their rounds out since they are not sure of the customer's location and might end up wasting their time for every visit.
Mobile field service applications in the form of Android apps are the latest utility applications that have stormed the market. These apps can be integrated with any ERP solution so that there is a fantastic synchronization of information between the sales personnel and the company ERP database on a real-time basis.
This integration between the ERP and Android apps is aimed for simplification of operations in organizations that attach huge importance to its after-sales service for existing as well as new customers. Services constitute the pivotal indicator of success industry. Without a real-time connection to back-end business applications, field personnel are forced to use paper forms to gather information for a wide variety of transactions - and then manually enter the information into their company database, once they return back to their stationary desks. As a result, there is a definite time lag in the business processes and overall operations - delays that affect service levels, employee productivity, cash flow and overall profitability. The basic requirement of such organizations which are unable to meet customer service satisfaction levels is to facilitate quick service to its customers and maximize efficiency in the proceedings.
There are complete field service applications available for Android-enabled devices that can be easily installed, portable enough and provide a fantastic solution for reducing the lag in service for enhanced productivity. This is how the applications work. An executive logs into the mobile application and look into the service tasks/activities assigned to him. He can sort them out status-wise and priority-wise. The personnel can then plan the route for their activities through the Optimum Routing Feature and the Google Maps functionality which is integrated within the applications. The Android apps shows the real-time inventory status using different search parameters which allows the executive to update information like Activity Status too.
