I also work for a leading company that is far and away more prestigious and well known. BIG Whoop! The point I was making is that everything you can do on a windows machine you can do with an iPad. Thats the bottom line. Your company's technological failures are nothing to boast about....just sayin'.
Really ? anything on an iPad i can do on a windows machine,
ok, on an iPad, have two applications open, at the same time, next to each other, so you can read information from one, whilst working on the other...
or, on your iPad, offer remote assistance to a client, allowing you to take control of their "PC" and help them through an issue, again whilst having another window open showing needed information.
Or show me any iPad domain tools that allow me to add users, manage my OUs, reset passwords, etc.
Or an iPad tool that lets me start and stop services on servers remotely,
Or an iPad call monitoring tool that connects up with the office phone system and corporate mail server,
Or an iPad that will run a time management punch card and door entry system
and you certainly cant run the payroll software or HR software for a decent sized company on an iPad
Sure you can mess around with a basic text document, send a short email, browse the web, watch video and play music and games on an iPad ,but for any serious work, you still need a decent input system , which means a keyboard and mouse, and more importantly, the ability to stack windows, and run apps side by side, without these features, productivity suffers.
I "Could" use an iPad to create documents for work, im not going to, because id like to do the task in 15 minutes rather than and hour and a half.
if you can do your job on your iPad, your either an overpaid exec (Tim is that you ?), or replaceable by a monkey with a typewriter
