While all things seem to change at one point or another, the business world seems to be stuck in a state of constant transformation, with new businesses being spawned and old businesses either prospering or falling into failure. With such a huge wildcard being thrown up, if you want to survive contemporary business, then it is absolutely vital that you keep with the times, adapting to the ever-changing environment and taking advantage of new technology.
Speaking of technology, if you have not noticed, you see that more and more business is being conducted through mobile and virtual means; in other words—smartphones, computers, and tablets such as the iPad. These nifty devices are now home to a world of helpful resources and tools, but most people refer to these aspects as “apps,” short for applications. Whether you find yourself playing a few rounds of bingo over at www.partybingo.com during a long, boring business flight, or you simply need to use your iPad to give a brief presentation, as common media puts it, “there’s an app for that.”
However, as far as business-oriented apps are concerned, there are several out there that can make an array of tasks much more convenient for business owners. Three of these apps can be found below:
Keynote: If you are a business owner, as well as a Mac-user, then chances are good that you have a little (or a lot) of experience with the Keynote app. The techies over at Apple have been working hard though, now being able to offer Keynote for iPad users as well.
Keynote is a presentation app, and a rather powerful one at that. Using this app, users are able to do everything from full-color presentations equipped with transitions, to building a pie chart to show expenditures.
Numbers: Also debuting on a Mac, but being completely reworked to coordinate with iPad users, is the Numbers app. If there is one thing business owners probably see too much of, it is the dreaded spreadsheet. As dreaded as it can be sometimes, it is vital to create important financial reports and charts compiled from inputted data that has been collected.
Boasting more than 250 features and functions, the Numbers app offers users a variety of charts, tables, graphics, and photos, making any spreadsheet go from bland and boring, to sleek and edgy. Need to distribute a spreadsheet or two? Not a problem for the Numbers app as it allows user to export data to Excel, convert to PDF, or simply send it as an email.
Roambi Analytics: What is more important to a business owner, small and large alike, than the status of his or her business? Luckily, the Roambi Analytics app allows users to do just that. Even better, this app is not just for iPad, but it also works on the iPhone too, allowing one to become even more mobile.
The Roambi Analytics app is capable of converting important statistics and other data from Excel, Google Docs, and other financially-oriented program, into nifty little visual “presentations” for you to view on your iPad or iPhone. Pretty simple, eh?
There you have it folks! The three apps mentioned above are sublime at making the complicated, and broad, task of business, and making it much more convenient. Naturally, the three above are just a tiny portion of the literally thousands of apps available to business owners. Plus, should you find yourself with some free time, you could always play Angry Birds or some other game.
