2015: Pushing Technology Further
2015: Pushing Technology Further
We have spoken before on the increase of technology and how it is changing the modern office, yet 2015 is looking to push the idea of the digital office even further than ever before. Smart devices, programs, and interfaces are breaking out of their former molds and spiraling into new directions. Windows is looking to bring their Microsoft Office software fully into a touchscreen format. Samsung is designing a smart phone with a bending screen, and apple is working on it’s next iPad. These advances are big news for not just the business world, but also the normal everyday world we live in. It is both of these demographics that help shape the business world and how it operates.
This technology being available to the masses means that more people are becoming connected every single day. Every new phone that comes out finds it’s way into the hands of waiting customers. Within the week these phones are connected to their Facebook, their Twitter, their Instagram and their email. They are portals to a digital world that can fit inside our pocket. With so many being connected, this of course means that these technologies will enter the business world. From almost any point in the country, anyone can check their bank account, write a review, check their social media, send photos, and read emails. This opens the possibilities of not only the digital office, but also the mobile office.
Imagine having the ability to pull out a smartphone, swipe the screen, and in just a minute be staring at your bank account, seeing if your paycheck has been deposited. Another minute and you are looking at a digital paystub, telling you how much your paycheck was and how much was taken out in taxes. Two more minutes and you are opening an email seeing your work schedule for the next week. You did all this while sitting at a dinner table grabbing a quick lunch at a local restaurant. With the advances we have already made, you don’t have to just imagine this, you can now experience it. With the changes that are coming in 2015, you will be capable of doing these activities in a more simplified and faster format.
Like all great things though, these are advantages that we our self must make use of. We have to take the steps forward to implement this new technology into our professional life else we sit back and watch the world advance without us. How do you gain access to technology like this? It may require some outside help. Consider outsourcing departments that can be improved with the use of technology to outside companies. Payroll companies such as Vision H.R. can implement the latest in technology and trends into your payroll, keeping it at it’s full potential. Not only is your payroll being placed in good hands, but your employees are also connected to their payroll digitally.
