Dear Bill and Tom,
I have done an extensive analysis on the use of iPads for
you Vice President Bill and Sales Operation Manager, Tom. As you may notice, iPads
are currently being tested with companies across the globes, even across
college campuses across the country. Why are iPads so important and necessary,
you may ask? Well after interviewing with professionals in our Sales,
Marketing, and Finance divisions, I was able to gather important information
that may decide our case in order to meet the both functional and technical
requirements.
As I found some functional positives that the iPad would
bring to the company such as:
v
Strong Battery life (7 + hours)
v
Access by quick movements on apps
v
Ability to use the iPad as a phone to call Drs
v
Convenience because of weight and size
v
Cheaper than some laptops
v
Ability to have virtual sessions
v
Efficient note taking
v
Access to important information on the fly
I also came across a major negative about having the ability
to safeguard client information such as no ability to erase memory if found or
stolen. Even though Apple does provide security
with its products, we contain sensitive information and we will need higher security
just in case if we face lost iPads because of their easy and light weight
figure. Also, the inability to show clients videos on certain sites because of
no flash player on the Apple products. The lack of Microsoft support will cause
a burden on some of our sales team that are use to show presentations on
PowerPoint and use programs such as Excel.
I strongly trust our team to be technological capable
associates so we would not have an issue with transitioning, but it will take
some training and time to get used to the iPad device. I believe that dealing
with a new tech device will incur higher motivation to move quicker and more
efficient with clients during the day. In the interview, I noticed quite a cost
reduction if we moved to the iPad. The iPad ranges in the $700-$750 range,
while the laptops surpass the $1000+ range with all the necessary equipment.
This is another main reason why our company should move into this integration
of new technology.
Thank you,
