    • Need to factor in security requirements on both the front end and the backend

    • Need support for full CRUD operations with multi table hierarchical data

    • Need to run across multiple brands of devices with a modern mobile user experience

    • Need to responsively adapt to different screen sizes and orientation

    • Need to take full advantage of the media capabilities that the camera & microphone affords

    • Need to allow for marking up media with electronic ink and annotation

    • Need to speed up data entry by eliminating the “soft” keyboard that keeps “jumping up and down” by the use of custom editors that are optimized for filling in each field type
