Smartphones For Business

Many of us consider our desktop computers primarily as work devices. These are the machines we use when we're writing documents, updating spreadsheets, creating slideshows and presentations and pretty much whenever we have any kind of work to do. But desktop computers are not portable and they are prone to going wrong occasionally. As such, it's very possible to imagine you might end up stuck without your computer and having to make do with your smartphone – which is always on and always on your person. Could you make do? Let's find out… Software The main challenges would be finding compatible software. If you only tend to use Microsoft Office for your work, then the good news is that both iOS and Android have fully functional office suits from Microsoft in the form of Office365. You'll need an Office subscription and some features are lacking but overall it will be sufficient for most people looking for a way to write their documents on the move. If you don't have an office subscription then you can alternatively use free alternatives like Kingsoft Office or Documents to Go. Unfortunately, some businesses will require their own specialist software and this is where things can get a little bit more difficult for those who need to work on the move. Unless you can find a way to stream your computer to your smartphone (which will be fiddly) you'll probably be stumped.
