Making the Most of Mobile Device Technology For Business
Be your best digital mobile self whether on the road or in the office.
With up to 70% of the world’s population using mobile devices, the ability for businesses to make effective use of mobile technology is vital to their success. Yet despite these numbers, too many companies fail to take full advantage of the technology.
The typical smartphone includes several standard features such as email and voice mail capabilities, a web browser, map app, camera, and simple text notepad. It seems silly not to take advantage of these features when it comes to managing your business.
Your mobile toolset
Let’s look at the collection of tools available to you.
Camera
Let’s start with the most forgotten tool every smartphone features — the camera. I’ve found this incredibly helpful. On the one hand, it’s useful for taking pictures of serial numbers, equipment, and products. Also, when partnered with a conversion app, it can be used as a document scanner to create PDFs, record receipts, and automatically convert business card information to one’s contact list.
