Incredible Business Tools Your Staff Need Training On Today

When the world is awash with supposedly useful apps, how do you know which are truly valuable? Here we’ve assembled a host of useful apps that help with everything from communication to program building.

Roambi Analytics
Businesses are getting savvy to the idea that data is relevant to them. Up until this point, however, they couldn’t put it to much use without investing a lot of time and money. But now thanks to Apps like Roambi Analytics cost is no longer a concern. The app collects all the data that it thinks is relevant to your website. And then it reports these data in a friendly fashion. What’s more, the app only requires minimal training to get started. So it’s one of those things you can introduce to your business rapidly.

Visual Studio
The purpose of Microsoft’s visual studio is to serve as a tool for building apps. This is a must for any business in the software field. But it’s also useful for any business that just wants to build its own bespoke applications. Rather than hiring an expensive web app developer, why not invest in visual studio training for staff? Once developers are trained, they can then go on to produce new projects and software for your business.

Yammer
Yammer is one of the most exciting business chat apps we’ve seen this year. Why? First off it’s free. Secondly, it works across all platforms, even Blackberry. And finally, you can customize it with dozens of add-ons.

Many businesses are going down the chatbox route. It helps to cut down on meeting times and streamlines business operations. And it also helps employees be more concise so that they can get more done. Getting started with group chat apps is easy. You’ll want to do a bit of training to make sure that employees understand how to use it. But from then on, it’s pretty intuitive.

Mileage Tracker
As business people, many of us are used to traveling. Or if we’re not, we’re used to people in our organization traveling on our behalf. That’s where Mileage Tracker can really come in handy. This app automatically tracks the distance you have driven, using your smartphone location. And then it calculates the expenses depending on the user or vehicle. Again, it’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. But you might want to spend an hour or two bring staff up to speed.

Swift
Businesses tend to spend a lot of time focusing on the Android ecosystem in the mobile space. They forget that there is a whole swathe of consumers using Apple’s rival platform. Here’s where Swift can come in handy. Swifty is a toolset that allows businesses to create iOS apps with little fuss. Of course, you’ll need to have an understanding of programming language. But one you’ve nailed it, you’ll have invaluable in-house expertise. You’ll learn how to design interactions that rely on multi-touch devices. And you’ll be able to do things like manage memory and device power usage.
