How Organisations are Now Using Tablets

By Ben Jarvis


Smart phones have just helped businessmen stay connected while they are on the go. With the uprising of tablets, this trend has advanced one level higher, and the monitor size has gotten bigger, but the portability remains.

SDLC

Tablets are not just standing symbols or shopper toys, but business tools that add value to any organization. The advanced technology trend hasn't negatively affected the SDLC that's highly loved among techies.

Some features which make the tablets favored are:

Intensive battery lifespan

Portability

Touch interface and easy applications

B2C applications that are made simpler

High replacement, damage, and loss rates

Goal setting

It is exceedingly important to set goals when it comes to tablet deployment. Without determining goals, it is hard to evaluate the correct software and hardware combos. This goal setting process should involve management, IT, and the possible users of the hardware.

But what should be the goal? To serve a mobile user base? This is an important thing that organisations are doing presently. They're setting targets per their tablet use.

OS

Deciding the right operating software is urgent also. The selection of the right operating software is not as easy to make as on a PC or a Mac. The major operating systems for tablets are iOs, Android, WebOS, Windows 7, and Rim OS. While there are more operating systems too , these are the major ones. Another vital point is USB protection and if the OS provides it.

Size

Tablets come in various sizes, and it's mainly a matter of private preference. In general, 7 in. tablets are best for content consumption rather than content generation. Since viewing documents, reading e-mails, browsing the Net etc are less complicated on a 7 inch screen, this size is more popular in tablets. Besides, tablets don't have their own keyboards, but rely on virtual keyboard, so screen size becomes a vital consideration.

Support

The last critical point that organizations keep in mind while using tablets is support and coaching for the use of the tablet. With the correct sort of support and training, the workers can use the tablet effectively in virtually no time.
