Hardware and Software

Hardware 1 An Apple IPhone or similar mobile device. The first step to mobilizing my business. My employees can use tools and programs that they would normally have to be at a home computer for on the go. Has mobile tethering to access internet anywhere. 199 2 A laptop is also important. More tools and programs available on the computer, and it’s a much more reliable and user-friendly instrument to do business on than a cell phone. Inspiron 14z ultrabook dell 699.99 3 Neat Desk (Scanner) This is hardware one can use on the field to scan a document to turn into digital files. 399.95 Software 4 A program like Skyper/Oovoo for conducting face-to-face talks and even group communication. Helps show more clearly who is talking about what than a phone call, and more personal than an email. Free 5 I would get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to allow my employees to access files remotely and securely. This allows them the same freedom of information on a mobile device as if they were in the office. “Establish encrypted VPN tunnels with the Cisco VPN Client for highly secure remote connectivity for your mobile employees or teleworkers.“(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2308/index.html )  It’s also safe, so I don’t have to worry about security issues. Cisco would seem to be the particular brand/product. Not sure of price Software
