How often do you use apps in your everyday life? As I’m writing this, it’s only 9 a.m. and I’ve already used my weather app, news app (make that multiple news apps), calendar app, Twitter app, iTunes app and a podcast app, just to name a few. For most of us, apps have become indispensable tools for simplifying our daily lives, offering convenience at the tap of a screen.
But at work, it’s sometimes a different story. Chances are your team’s day-to-day duties include plenty of time-consuming manual tasks. With so much technology at our fingertips, why aren’t we taking full advantage of apps to improve efficiency and productivity in the workplace?
