Streamline Your Business with Smartphones

Millions of consumers have learned how smartphones can enhance their daily lives and, according to research conducted by Forrester, 2010 is going to be the year the business world really discovers the many benefits of smartphones.



While only 11 percent of American professionals currently use smartphones that are supported by their employer, 64 percent of U.S. workers who use a computer for work want a smartphone, and a majority is willing to pay at least a portion of the cost.



This comes with little surprise as smartphones provide the flexibility and constant connectivity today’s professionals desire. To help employers decide if providing or subsidizing smartphones for employees could be a good investment, U.S. Cellular demonstrates how smartphones can help streamline their business.



Office on the go

Having a smartphone is like carrying your desktop computer in your pocket. The device provides instant access to company data, which can allow for a flexible work schedule. Users can access multiple email accounts, view embedded links and open, edit and save company documents, just to name a few.



Stay in sync

Company networks sync with smartphones, such as BlackBerry and Windows, so that you can have your calendar, e-mail and contacts up-to-date at all times.



Get information anytime

Smartphones give employees the Internet at their fingertips. Most smartphones also have GPS capabilities to help users navigate their way to a business meeting.



Constantly connected

Texting enables professionals to reach one another during meetings, seminars and other situations when a traditional call is deemed inappropriate. Instant messaging options help customers stay in touch and get answers in real-time.



Get organized
