"I am very honored to be asked to share my experience with this group," said Holleran, who noted that Xplore has had a relationship with Microsoft for the past ten years. "The tablet as a form factor is replacing notebooks as the choice of the enterprise. As a result there is a growing need for tablet computers that can be used by those in the enterprise whose jobs take place in challenging environments. At Xplore we are seeing an increased awareness and acceptance of rugged tablet computers." Holleran explains that rugged tablets have been used for the past 15 years by the military, and in industries as broad as warehousing, manufacturing and utilities.
