Here are the 10 business apps that every business owner with a Windows phone or mobile device should download and utilize. I am a big fan off Windows 8 and I believe that Microsoft is going in the right direction with their products.
Meetings don’t always have to happen face-to-face. The videoconferencing app that most sales departments use – GoToMeeting – is the next best thing since the invention of sliced bread. It was developed in July 2004 by the Online Services division of Citrix in Santa Barbara, California. It lets up to 25 attendees remotely join the virtual meeting from almost any Web-connected device across the world. The service streamlines even the process of scheduling a meeting and will send out the invitations. Its best features include screen sharing and speaker identification, so you always know who is the one speaking.
The Office Remote app transforms the smartphone into a smart remote – compatible with Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It lets you start PowerPoint presentations, advance the slides and control an on-screen laser pointer from your phone’s display. In Excel, you can navigate between graphs and control data slicers, and in Word you can scroll through a document or quickly jump to a certain section. And since your Windows Phone syncs seamlessly with the desktop version of Microsoft Office, it’s a great tool when you take your presentations while you are traveling. Apple is really behind on their compatibility with Microsoft products. Most businesses prefer windows phones because there is no conversion involved.
This application translates phrases, sentences, and even whole paragraphs of text in over 35 languages. The cost is free. Very handy – when you are traveling in foreign countries.
RedFlagDeals.com for the Windows Phone makes it easy to stay on top of the latest deals, coupons, and freebies from wherever you are! Check for deals and compare prices while you’re in the store and never have to pay extra again!
Argent is am expense-tracking app that could be easily downloaded to your Windows Phone. Its purpose is to add up individual expenses and then sort them into customizable categories. The app also allows you to organize your transactions and balance for the day, week or month at a glance. Additionally, Argent includes the ability to export your transactions to Microsoft Excel, so that you can easily view the data on a desktop version.
Check Free/Busy is an app used by business owners to determine the availability status of people in your email system. It can be a useful tool if you want to know when a coworker is available to schedule a conference call.
