Autodesks's solution to enterprise asset management for mobile field workforces is one of the first products for handheld devices designed for managing maps, data, and designs while in the field. The outcome of a partnership between Autodesk and Oracle, Autodesk® OnSite "is an end-to-end enterprise business system that delivers interactive map and design information to a mobile workforce."
