In the office
The iPad and tablet have long had a role to play in business when it comes to the office setting, but often they take a bit of a back seat to the traditional PC or laptop.
In recent years it’s become obvious that’s no longer the case, with iPads and tablets now capable of fulfilling a host of business tasks including working on the go, presentations and so much more.
Remote working
In today’s ‘remote working’ world, iPads and tablets are often the preferred device for a mobile workforce, and their manufacturers have recognised this with add-ons like styluses, and keyboards that include track pads.
Load your device up with apps like Microsoft Office and you now have a mobile tablet that functions very much like a laptop or PC but is far more lightweight and portable when it comes to remote working.
Presentations on the go
iPad Pros and a variety of other tablets all feature USB-C, which facilitates presentations on big screens. Meanwhile, if your particular model doesn’t have it, there are adaptors available to suit various ports.
As tablets are a lot more lightweight and convenient that laptops, it’s an ideal way to present without lugging round a host of tech.
Meeting room bookings
We’ve all been there, mid meeting, making a totally salient point when someone knocks on the meeting room door to ask how much longer you’ll be.
That’s where tablets can be a bit of a game changer courtesy of booking software that allows staff to book the meeting room for the length of time required.
Virtual meetings
Right about now we’re all pretty au fait with the idea of virtual meetings. Tablets including iPads have proved a bit of a fame changer in this space, allowing us to quickly join the latest Zoom meet from anywhere via a simple app.
Visitor management
In the era of COVID-19, it’s never been more important to track exactly who is on site at your premises and how long they’re there.
Again, this is where tablets come into their own as visitor management systems. Set up at reception, they can utilise QR-codes and questionnaires to gather that data that complies with:
- Workplace health and safety
- Contact tracing
