“The Future of Business Interactions”
By Michael Danilov & Malko Ebers
The recent TabletBiz
conference in New York was a showcase for cutting edge technology and recent
developments in tablet hard and software. Moreover the conference allowed us to
get insights into App based business solutions and how mobility, apps and
smartphones are changing our lifestyle and the way modern business is
conducted. The way how people use IT solutions is already transforming our
societies.
Nowadays tablets
have become much cheaper than traditional computers or laptops while increasing the
mobility and functionality for the user for business and leisure alike. Big
companies are finally getting it mining the data of their users, putting
software applications into the cloud which can dramatically reduce costs and
gives companies more instant feedback which applications and functions the
users are actually using.
A company
that realizes and takes advantage of these stable trends can operate cheaper
faster and easier. We can think of mobile payment
options, real time inventory, the easy of reward systems, the advertisements
and incentives for a mobile customer and much more. The metaphor of the flat
world got realized also through tablets. Prices have come down, processor and
internet speed have gone up and fast internet has become a commodity for
creative people and start ups to take advantage off. In a way this development
has transformed apps into a commodity, a true mass customization where every
user picks the functions that he or she demands. This development has democratized
the access to IT.
Paperless data entry, payment and visualization
that tables and mobile applications allow for will continue to transform our
economies, they will make the way we shop, work and educate each other more
mobile, faster and more suitable to our modern individualized lifestyle.
The TabletBiz
Team showed a lot of different cases where you can use tablet in your everyday
business. The closing of the event was the Tabby Awards ceremony with some
beautiful app solutions. Have a look for example at dictionary.com.
