I have pretty much the same need. My users will export data from an Oracle DB (most likely using xml) and then travel to remote locations with no connectivity to perform inspections. They will need to record their findings with the application and then push the data back to the DB at a later time. We have a client/server application that was developed 15 years ago that does this now but this forces us to own the computer that is used for inspection. We would prefer to convert this application to something browser based so that the contractor can use their own equipment.
