Conducting business in this technology-driven world today means that most business leaders are probably attached to your mobile device for things such as social media management, business travel plans, productivity, accessing data, checking your calendar/â€to-do†list, and many more daily tasks. Mobile devices have made our business (and personal) lives easier on many levels especially through the ease of communication wherever and whenever. But this also means that there is no real “down time†to relax or even catch up on the latest technology or apps to use on your mobile device. With millions of apps available and more coming out every month, which ones are worth trying? Which ones could really help your business stay organized and on track? That is where we come in. Here is a quick list of some favorite business apps.
- Password Security – The average small or medium sized business has multiple passwords for different accounts. Combine that with the ever-growing list of data breaches that happen daily and a password app is needed to safeguard your private data. A favorite of many businesses is 1Password. It is the best app for managing your web log-ins and sensitive information. It has a user-friendly interface and it’s available on whatever device you have with you at the moment, whether it be your desktop, phone, or even Apple Watch.
- Storage – Â When employees are on the move for meetings and travel they depend on storage services to maintain data in a safe and organized manner. Apple’s iCloud Drive and Google Drive are excellent for storage. Â But you may want to also consider Dropbox. Dropbox is a reliable and well-designed cloud-storage app that works well on multiple devices.
- Productivity/Internal Communication – Business productivity apps will let you work faster, smarter, better. Evernote is a must-have note-taking app chock full of features and third-party add-on apps. You can take notes, clip web pages, store images, take audio notes, and then share them across devices and among coworkers. (Source: Business Insider)
- Travel and Entertainment – When getting around to meet with clients and trying to find venues for dinner or entertaining there really is no match for Google Maps. Â This app keeps getting smarter and offering more options.
- Finances and Expenses – Keeping track of spending while being mobile can be a challenge. Expensify helps you easily log expenses, capture receipt images, and manage reports.
