  • The Importance of the Tablet Market, Today and in the Future


    Were you a good boy or girl last year?  Did Santa leave you a shiny new tablet under the Christmas tree?  Chances are that he did as there are now over 56 million of them in the US alone with an estimate of that figure rising to 90 million by 2014 (Techcrunch).  Consumers now have the option to browse and comparison shop whenever the mood takes them…waiting for kids, a coffee break, on the subway, etc – instead of having to allocate a time to sit down in front of a traditional static computer.  This is a marketing angle that no business can afford to ignore.

    An article by Julia Peterson (Why You Should be Targeting Tablet Users) further highlights the reasons why being tablet friendly is now more important than ever and asks pertinent questions such as “how can you attract tablet traffic” and “why you should be targeting tablet users”.   A persuasive argument when you realize the sheer spending power of the average tablet user, as more than half of all tablet users have a household income of over $75K.  This is a big indicator that sites that are not mobile friendly or tablet compatible are missing the opportunity of connecting with these 50 million consumers.

  • The benefits of an intranet to business


    What is Intranet?
    Intranet is a network based on the Internet that is accessed by the employees of an organization. An Intranet provides easy access to internal files and documents to the various employees of the organization, from their individual workstations. Sharing of data, made possible through the Intranet, not only helps in saving time of employees, but also allows employees from various levels to access data. It also contributes to a paperless office.

    Benefits of Intranet
    Most of today’s modern businesses are adopting intranet technology due its competitive advantages in dealing with the corporate information essential for any business.

    Communication: Intranet is extremely useful for communication and collaboration between the employees for successful functioning of any business organization. Intranet provides this to businesses in the form of tools like discussion groups, Intranet forms, and bulletin boards. Using intranet tools help in conveying and distributing necessary information or documents among the employees of an organization. This results in easy communication and sound relationship between the employees and top level management. Today, many business houses working on projects use intranet tools, discussion forms, chats, emails, electronic bulletin boards, etc. that help in communicating between different departments of an organization.
