Tuesday Tips: Step Up Your Office With Technology

The definition of “office” may continue to change as office technology advances. While in the past going to the office meant going to an actual office, that’s not always the case today. The “office” may be at home, in the car, in a hotel room, in another country or in a local coffee shop. To keep up with the changing definition of the term “office,” you may consider integrating upgraded technology into your business processes.

Mobile Technology

Mobile phones and tablets can make it possible for employees to be accessible anytime, anywhere. The devices can be used for functions ranging from old-fashioned phone calls to videoconferencing, from reading and sending emails to inputting data on shared spreadsheets and accessing presentations in real-time. Designing and installing apps can also increase productivity and effectiveness.

Cloud Technology

Storing and using data from cloud-based processes can give real-time access to team members located anywhere. While security is still one of the primary concerns with using cloud technology, steps can be taken to reduce both internal and external threats. Cloud technology can also support collaboration and project management.

Your Technology Is Your Office

Office technology can make it possible to be at the office serving customers or supporting co-workers no matter where you are. That’s why it’s important for remote employees to have the right equipment to make them as productive and connected as possible.
