Having the best IT support, network and telecommunication systems make your business able to work worldwide. CIO.com has discussed the simplicity of the iPad and the wonders it does when it comes to security and tech support on computers.
One reason that business people love the iPad is because it’s so darn easy to use. Just whip it out and get a little work done on the iPad whenever there’s a little downtime, which often means collaborating on projects, whether it’s the presentations that look so good on the iPad display, or routine work documents.
“It’s not unusual for me (in one country), an employee in Europe and another in Japan all to be working on a project,” says Lance Locher, senior vice president of Total Traffic Network, a division of Clear Channel that delivers traffic data to the company’s radio and television stations and other outlets.
Locher, an avid iPad owner, taps the power of collaboration in the cloud with an app called Box. Like the iPad itself, Box is a simple file sharing tool and cloud storage service built for the enterprise.
It’s so easy to use that his team, spread out across the United States and Europe, was recently able to write a response to a complex request for quote, or RFQ, in only two-and-a-half weeks. “That’s unheard of,” Locher says. “It normally would have taken anywhere from six to nine weeks.”
Collaboration in the cloud just might be the iPad’s killer enterprise app. If Apple could advertise their computer repairs and service more, it could make people even more interested in buying their products.
