The era we live in is digital, and this has meant numerous devices can enhance our lives both at home and in the office. If you are reading this post, then you already know this. You are using a computer, or a smartphone and have found it through either a search engine or a social media post. But what tech is available for our business, and how can we make sure we are using it in the right way?
Computers have been around for many years now. We have desktop computers, laptops and smaller smart devices that can run multiple office apps to help us deliver work and increase our productivity. Our smartphones are now able to run as well as our laptops. Offering multiple apps to store and share your work with your team. Google Suite is a remarkable service that you can access from anywhere in the world at any time. With Google Docs giving you the ability to work live with other people online. This can be done from your mobile phone or your desktop computer. Which means it fits any working situation. You can even tap in and access documents when you are travelling, enabling you to be productive when you would usually be sitting still wasting hours.
We can now take money through our phones too. People can pay for services using PayPal, or you can link up a small card reader which works with your smartphone, to take card payments on the go.
It’s now possible to use the internet of things to monitor stock levels, cut your energy usage or to help with waste reduction. We use this throughout our homes too, with systems like Alexa that can turn on our central heating or tell you when you need to top up on food. Intelligent machines can help boost the productivity of our offices so we should use the applications at work as well as at home.
Talking to IT companies about what is available to boost your success and grow your company will help you understand all the options you have. Teams like umbrella-ms.com not only have their finger on the pulse of up to date systems, they also manage everything to ensure you don’t have delays in service or any cyberattacks.
Looking towards the future, we will see more companies using virtual reality headsets and augmented reality. These technologies are changing the way we do a multitude of things. They can be great for designers, allowing them to give clients a 360 view of their ideas. Companies are using this technology in its most simple form on websites already. You can now spin and rotate products you want to buy or use apps to see what colour or furniture will look like in your home. We will start to see more from this technology as it develops and soon every home will have some form of virtual reality device, particularly those who enjoy gaming—allowing you to be fully immersed in the experience.
