I'm a big believer that technology can't solve all problems. sometimes places try to shoehorn in a tech solution because they don't know what else to do. I support a marine department and they wanted all these expensive satellite connections and junk so they could stay connected to their maintenance programs while at sea. I recommended the get an index card, hole puncher, and piece of yarn to hang the cards on their equipment and then when they return to port, gather them up and spend a day doing data entry. it didn't go over to well but in my opinion it works better and is cheaper than connecting to satellite.
