Tablet
for offices and being on street
Sally
runs Sally’s Sunny Daycare in an area she rents at the shopping mall. Randy
owns A1 Painting, a paint company he runs at home. Both have a tablet, and both
gain a lot of benefits from it in commercial facet. How? Actually, there are
many ways.
In
addition to keeping an eye on the salary sheets for Sally’s part-time
assistants, a tablet enables her to jot down the schedule, have access to
emergency contact information and write memos; then create emails and weekly
news reports which are related to the forth-coming trips, study plans,
vacations and so on. During the trips, she takes photos and records videos by
tablet from which she would use later for advertising materials and news. At home,
she sets up plans for lunch menus; updates the inventories, and shops online
for toys, books and other materials. In her spare time, she uses tablet to read
ebooks which are attached video and cartoon.
While,
Rand gets used to bring along with him many painting samples and wood dyes in
order to coordinate the color schemes with customers. At the moment, tablets
allow him to surf over more images from paint suppliers, together with the
previous jobs’ images. While working, he can have a look at home design, make
an order, and even read news at lunch. At home, he can make contracts and join auctions,
make an order list, update inventory information, set up the schedules for the
up-coming tasks, and monitor working hours of his four staffs.

Tablet at work
Those
are two examples of the way tablets give us practical producing benefits, save
time, and stay effective at offices or at home (SOHO). Furniture designers,
event planners, freelancers, home builders, customers, consultants, architects,
project managers, sellers, cameramen, repairing stores and so on have benefits.
With the increasing number of tablet users, Zeff Zbar, the founder of
ChiefHomeOfficer.com, said that who use SOHO can all seek out some good things
from tablets.
“With
people who need instruction or rewrite the attendance book, or check the number
of working hours needed for accomplishing a project in order to write receipts,
possibly make a presentation about a digital investment index, post something
on the Internet, even establish a web page or make a short online conversation
with somebody and so on, a tablet is an almost perfect tool.”.
Richard
Shim, DisplaySearch’s high-level analysis, said that SOHO users already have a
core computer, so finding tablet’s additional support is unnecessary.
“Basically
what they want is to have access to the information faster, and in their small
office (might be at home), they can balance different kinds of task at the same
time. Whether you can access the information faster or not allows you to make
better decisions in shorter time, be more flexible and increase more
productivity”.
Many
analysis’s and experts in the field agree that tablets are especially
beneficial to organizations which set the high priority for visual information.
For instance, tablets can simplify the task of displaying samples, materials
and real examples for customers of furniture designers. “The actual matter is
that computing is becoming more and more visual because we are partly transferring
the previous applications to increase productivity”, Shim stated.
Martin
Frid-Nielsen, CEO of Soonr, services base on cloud to organize and share the
resources to rise up productivity. He believes that the current economy is
making small companies “save by applying creative methods, such as creating
virtual offices where staffs work at home and meet customers as they are doing
it in coffee shops. Tablets’ mobile capability and internet connection options
are perfect to “introduce a project or share a demo with potential customers”,
he said. “And because almost all tablets have longer battery duration than
laptops, you do not need to worry about finding a seat near the socket”.
Furthermore,
he said that through services based on cloud, small enterprises’ owners who
usually work outside “are just being away from team members and important
materials by a mouse click”.
