We at the U of U Hospital have purchased Maximo Everyplace and we need to know if anyone has come up with a successful solution for either the iPad or an android device that successfully integrates scanning within Everyplace.
We need to purchase devices (not software) either apple or android OS. Bar coding is essential. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!!

There are several external devices that you can attach to an iOS / Android device to give you a barcode scanner. Lowes comes to mind as having a large implementation using iPhones with wrapped case barcoding scanners (http://www.ipcprint.com/)
Maximo Everyplace is more of a tool to format the screen to fit other devices instead of a real mobile solution. So any hardware solution should work with it in the same way it would work with any other app. Get an external barcode scanner you like, browse to maximo URL, open application, click in field to enter data / barcode into, scan barcode, click search, next field, etc. Everyplace isn't an app you load on the devices, it just uses the devices native browser. So instead of using a PC you're using an iPad.
You should know though, you can use Maximo on iPad without Everyplace.
If you're interested in truly integrated barcode scanning solutions, should look at Maximo Mobile, Syclo, or Datasplice (there are others too). These are software solutions, but some support multiple devices (iOS, Android, WinCE). I've personally had experience with Syclo from an iOS device, it's pretty slick.
