5 day-to-day technologies that can improve your business

5 day-to-day technologies that can improve your business

As a business professional, knowing the specific technologies that can help your business grow is important. Not all technology will work for you and your coworkers, but the technology that will work can do things like increase efficiency, minimize downtime, and support daily productivity.

Here are a handful of workplace technologies to consider for your daily IT consumption.

Apps

Use the right apps, and your productivity can reach a level you never dreamed possible. With the right string of apps by your side, every part of your workday stands to improve.

Do more, in less time. Take better, more strategic breaks. Get to work quicker and with less hassle. Share and collaborate with ease. It’s all possible with an app… you just need to know where to look and what integrates best with your working style.

Dual Monitors

Just because your computer came with one screen, doesn’t mean you always have to limit yourself to one screen. In fact, if you do a lot of data entry or if you’re consistently involved in multiple activities at once (for example, scheduling, checking-in, and order processing), two or three monitors can improve your productivity and even help reduce on-the-job stress.

Website

Good technology doesn’t just exist to improve your productivity. It also exists to create a more modern business, strengthen your relationship with consumers, and build up your brand. And what better way to do this then with a website? However, these days, if you have a website that is outdated and not mobile-friendly, this can hurt your business more than help it.

With a good website, your business can reduce communication hurdles, limit consumer frustrations, and market your products and brand with ease. But to do this, you’ll need a website that looks good on a phone, is easy to get to, and even easier to maneuver through.

Document Sharing

Documents are an old-fashioned piece of business, but the way you use, share, and move these documents around doesn’t have to be so old-fashioned. Find a more modern way to handle document sharing, and you can improve a whole mess of things, like productivity, collaboration, and even employee morale. With a tool like Dropbox, OneNote, Evernote, or Trello, document sharing will take on an entirely new meaning.

Instant Messaging

Communication is an important aspect of any team, and ultimately, it can have a major impact on how successful your business can become. However, the best business communication is multilayered, and one piece you should definitely incorporate within your multilayered communication strategy is instant messaging.

This method of communication makes it easy to communicate with coworkers – whether they’re sitting across the building from you or across the room. And with a platform like Skype, for example, you can integrate your messaging capabilities with your email, share documents, and even see if someone is available to chat or currently tied up in a meeting.
