APPS THAT I USE Bongani Gosa NOTES APP ON IPHONE All iPhones come with a built-in Notes app. This is a great application for business that also syncs to iCloud so you access it from multiple Apple devices. The app allows users to create checklists in the notes. As you create a list, you are able to easily turn it into an interactive checklist with just a few taps. Once this is achieved, it becomes simple to check off items as you complete them at own will. This is great for every business man/woman ‘on the go’ because it increases efficiency. Using notes, one can also add photos, maps or a URL directly into a note and be able to view it formatted in-line. Another great feature is the ability to use your finger to sketch your ideas down. This is great because it means that you never have to worry about forgetting brilliant ideas that could grow your business. I mainly use Notes on iPhone to jot down notes throughout the day, meaning, no fresh idea I may get during the day goes to waste.
GOOGLE HANGOUTS Google Hangouts, a communication platform developed by Google, is another convenient application used at BWD Advertising. The app includes instant messaging, video chat, SMS and VOIP features, which makes communication and collaboration between team members seamless. Google Hangouts replaced three 32 www.incub8mag.co.za · Volume 1 · 2017
messaging products that Google had previously implemented concurrently within its services. The app is effective in both one-on-one implementation and in a group. Furthermore, Google Hangouts has mobile apps for IOS and Android devices, which means it is ideal for mobility and a great tool for handling communication demands of corporate environments with ease. I have found that, using Google Hangouts, colleagues are more comfortable to share information as they are aware that is secured in accordance with contemporary protection standards. The platform is also great in regards to cost saving. It allows for costeffective collaboration for enterprise customers; entrepreneurs are able to interact with their business associate and clients/customers via HD video, voice or text. This also means that you save on time and expenses as you do not have to travel great distances for meetings and conferences.
