As soon as you acquire an iPad, the common thought is “what can I do with this?” Although the iPad is a fantastic device, it is not necessarily simple to implement in the business environment. There are thousands of apps, many with the same, or similar, capabilities.
Our suggestion to any business executive new to the iPad is to play with it and identify some “easy win” type of items that can be implemented quickly to gain Company buy-in and momentum towards iPad integration.
Here are a couple of ideas that we have found successful in moving forward quickly:
- Create a basic “Document Library”. The iPad can literally hold a library of content, which is readily accessible at all times. Content typically includes anything an executive might want access to – marketing materials, technical reference documents, books, peer information, and relevant industry information, among others. This can be implemented quickly, is easy to maintain, and requires no executive interaction (other than using it) once the process is set in place. An excellent article published at iPadCTO.com specifically regarding this topic can be found here.
- News Management. Get your favorite news apps loaded and start using the iPad for all news review. It will quickly come to be your favorite way to digest news, simply because of the convenience and touch-screen interface. Also consider “read-later” apps such as Instapaper and Read It Later. These provide incredible flexibility to accumulate things for later reading.
