Today, we clunk away at a keyboard and end up with half a gigabyte of meeting minutes on our hard drive that we’ll never read again to go with the two dozen scribbled receipts we keep shoved in the glove box. That chaos can be tamed. With the right tools and attitude, we can capitalise on this familiar tool to boost productivity and innovation. Modern note taking takes the familiar scrawl of handwritten notes and pairs it with the sharing and storage capabilities of the Digital Age.
In addition, modern note taking gives you opportunities to visualise ideas in ways you never have before, expanding the innovative space and transforming the way you create. Together, this allows a method of note taking that’s easy to organise, share, save and access while improving retention, creativity and collaboration.
Take the first step to excellence with modern note taking.
There’s a big change happening in how small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) think about IT security as they take advantage of mobility and the cloud. They’re recognising the need for mobile device management (MDM), cloud security, and the importance of choosing the right devices.
In this paper, we’ll consider why blending on-site security with MDM will give you a more flexible and scalable way to secure your mobile devices, data, and user identities. We’ll also outline some key considerations when investing in new mobile devices, so your business gets the full benefits of the latest trends in IT. Plus, we’ll explore some typical workplace scenarios to show how this results in practical benefits for your people and your business.
Productivity remains one of the top issues facing small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) today. And while there’s no doubting the importance of trying to get the most out of your talent, the approach many SMBs take actually has the reverse effect. This is the ‘productivity puzzle.’
In an increasingly competitive environment, ideas can differentiate businesses and fuel their growth. SMBs need to get behind ideas and the people that create them. They can do that by encouraging a culture in which ideas thrive, and by giving people the tools they need to shape, share, and sell their ideas.
The right tools are carefully crafted around what people need. They put people in the driver's seat, making it easier for them to bring their ideas to life and achieve more, faster.
These tools have been tried and tested, and this paper shares examples of how they’re supporting ideation and strengthening business for SMBs across the globe.
