  • Artikel

Profitable growth is the primary business driver behind corporate efforts to improve productivity. Measuring personal productivity is an elusive goal, yet the ultimate objective is improved corporate performance and the two are inextricably linked. Aberdeen Group has published excellent research findings that explore feedback from over 250 information workers on the convergence of enterprise applications with desktop tools and the role it plays in providing visibility to enterprise data, improving communication, and facilitating real-time decision-making.

  • Eliminate the need to switch between multiple applications.
  • Easily share data (via "cut and paste' and 'drag and drop') between applications
  • Provide a uniform user interface across multiple applications
  • Reduce learning curves and training requirements for enterprise applications

So whether your company is trying to move its corporate productivity and performance from Laggard to Industry Average or Industry Average to Best-in-Class, there are some actions that will help you achieve this status:
