Some of those that I follow on twitter are TechCrunch, HuffPostBiz, and TED, so when asked to write a weekly blog post on the relevance of e-Business I thought it would be a no-brainer. However, after scanning my Twitter homepage, I realized how seldom I really choose to click and bookmark those articles, let alone those specifically related to e-Business. The beauty of this weekly task is that I am now more inclined to read about something that is tremendously relevant, especially as a Management student entering the workforce in a short few months.
The idea for this blog post happened to be right at my fingertip. My paper cut fingertip to be exact. While starting a new chapter of my holiday read I happened to slice my finger and thought to myself “how easily could this have been avoided if I was reading an e-book”. Ironically, the book I was reading is Steve Jobs, so I couldn’t help but think of the iPad. I believe it is inarguable when I say that the iPad has completely changed the way business is done. I know I may sound passé considering the latest talks about digital wallets and apps such as Siri, but portable tablets are allowing us to stay productive, whenever and wherever. One example of an extraordinary app is ‘Fuze Meeting’, which allows for you to attend/host online meetings or share documents. One can even go as far as completing invoices, managing customers and databases – all of this while on the go. It’s functionality, portability, and usability makes it one of the hottest products on the market for today’s businesses. The innovative nature of the iPad has and will continue to change the way that we conduct business by incorporating e-commerce into the mix, making transactions more rapid, simple, and seamless.
