“The HP iPAQ Pocket PC is the best match for our needs. It gives our field
sales staff a durable, compact tool with all the functionality they need.”
Vincent Fernicola, Senior Director of Field Sales Technology, 
inVentiv Commercial
When a pharmaceutical sales representative visits a
physician’s office, he or she needs an electronic tool
for tracking the visit, jotting a few notes, and often
collecting a signature (when a sample is left behind). 
“Smaller is almost always better. Our representatives
are in the office to make contact with the physician.
We want them to have a one-on-one, interactive
experience. We want them to maintain eye contact,”
explains Vincent Fernicola, Senior Director of Field
Sales Technology for inVentiv Commercial. “The HP
iPAQ Pocket PC is the best match for our needs. It
gives our field sales staff a durable, compact tool 
with all the functionality they need.”
