The Current Landscape
In today's vibrant and fast-paced business world,
staying ahead of the competition is ever more important and can
sometimes make the difference between success and failure. A
decade ago, portable computers became almost a necessity. The
mobile workforce needed to be more effective outside of the
office and away from their desks and hence the 'shrunk PC', or
laptop, became de rigueur for professionals everywhere.
The laptop is still a very viable business tool, but do we
really need all of that computing power? Examine the kind of
things that a mobile workforce may need to do when away from the
office:
- E-mail
- Produce documents
- Take notes
- Exchange e-cards
- Access company data
- Browse the web
- Manage centralized scheduling
There are undoubtedly other tasks, but the question is how many
of these tasks require a laptop? |
