inVentiv Commercial prefers the small form factor of 
the iPAQ Pocket PC for physician visits. “It’s less bulky
and typically faster for what our sales force needs to
do,” Fernicola says. “Sales representatives tell us they
gain credibility with the physicians because of the HP
handheld. They’re able to maintain eye contact during
a conversation with the physicians, which is important
in sales.”
The ability to quickly capture signatures, which are
required to dispense pharmaceutical samples, is a firm
requirement for inVentiv Commercial’s field sales staff.
The iPAQ Pocket PC is typically loaded with the 
mobile SFA application, as well as Microsoft Outlook
for calendar and contact applications. Representatives 
are also equipped with an HP notebook PC (most
recently, the HP Compaq 6910p Notebook) loaded
with Microsoft Office for standard productivity
applications. The HP 6910p notebook provides 
sales representatives with all the computing capability
they need for other tasks including correspondence,
email, database and spreadsheet work, as well as 
full Internet functionality.

The company typically upgrades iPAQ Pocket PCs 
in the field every two years. Fernicola says HP
marketing gathers input from his staff on existing
models for future product development, and shares
information on new models before they’re available. 
“We want sales staff to have a one-on-one, interactive
experience with the physician. We want them to
maintain eye contact. This is possible with the HP
handheld.”
Vincent Fernicola, Senior Director of Field Sales
Technology, inVentiv Commercial
“About every six months, we get a roadmap of 
the future products they’re building. It helps us plan
and keeps us abreast of new product benefits,” he
says. Such give-and-take, he says, is part of inVentiv
Commercial’s continuing relationship with HP. “HP 
has helped to keep our field staff well equipped 
and productive. It’s a relationship that works well 
for both  of us, and we trust it will continue to 
for years to come.”
