If you pick the right tablet, your employees can be productive from anywhere. If you pick the wrong one—one that doesn’t stand up to the unique demands of your business or the dangers your employees will put it through—you’re just working to recoup the costs.
Essentially, it’s a difference between consumer computing (the machines you buy at Best Buy, for example) and rugged computing (the machines you buy from, say, us). Here’s what to look for in a rugged mobile device:
- Operating systems and applications that go beyond consumer use
- Windows®-based software that employees already know how to use and are optimized for business
- Proof of ROI to help gauge the total cost of ownership
- A clear picture of short- and long-term costs
In short, don’t make the investment unless the machine can take it. Test our strength.
