Psion has announced it will move to an open innovation business model called Open Source Mobility. The maker of handheld devices for warehouse environments plans to co-create new mobile hardware, software, and services in cooperation with customers, partners and outside developers. The focal point of the new initiative is a new online community called Ingenuity Working, intended to “accelerate a uniquely open dialogue with the Psion customer and reseller community,” the company announced. Open Source Mobility (OSM) is expected to make Psion products more affordable, and more closely tailored to the needs of customer. It will also create new business opportunities for developers, resellers and partners, as well as enhance Psion’s ability to grow and develop its business. Psion chief executive John Conoley said: “OSM is a significant evolution of our business model and has the potential to completely change the industrial mobile computing market.” He said OSM will leverage “the collective ingenuity of Psion, its resellers, partners, developers and customers, globally.” The key enabler of OSM is a new, open and online community, called Ingenuity Working which has been created to bring developers, partners and customers closer together.
