Our alternative is to develop a platform that only involves input from the scouts and virtually no data processing on site. Our tablet system is all programmed to do the data analysis on a remote server and then spit out the results. That makes our scouting much less stressful. (Except when the system glitches, but then that's the app programmers' headache.) We have 2 whitepapers up on setting up the system and will prepare another soon.
