Hardware and Software

For companies across the globe the innovation and progress of hardware and software plays a big roll in the future. Every company uses databases to hold information for the organization, while all of this information can add up to an immense amount of data, companies should resort to external hard-drives (1). External hard-drives are bigger and more complex versions of USB drives. I happen to own an external hard-drive myself and it has really come in handy. These devices can decrease the amount of memory used by each individual. With all the information that has significance within the company, the company can cut down on the memory usage of all its departments’ computers. Also within a company I think that each employee that has a job description that requires excessive computer access, then this employee should have their own laptop or computer (2) personally. With this approach each employee can keep track of their own data accordingly and with the addition of the external hard-drive they can keep their own personal computer up and running smoothly for a long period of time. Also keeping all of their jobs information very organized and secured within their own personal computer and/ or specific external hard-drive.

 Software within devices has become one of the largest online industries in the world. With almost every mobile phone you can purchase a variety of applications that offer all kinds of different features. These applications can be found through programs such as: Android Market, iPhone, BlackBerry Market and more (3). Companies could utilize these programs and offer their employees applications that can aid them in their line of work. One example is an application from the Android Market called ‘Epocrates’. This application is for people studying or working in pharmaceuticals. It offers you a list and search engine strictly for pharmacy work. This can help figure out what is beneficial for what type of condition or situation according to pharmaceutical needs. This type of application can help people working in that specific field but all across these application markets you can find applications that apply to your desired topic. From pharmaceuticals to sports marketing there can be applications founds, and every day these programs release new applications for the publics use.

 These programs can be used through your mobile devices and can be accessed wherever your network provider gives access. However, some of these programs are exclusive to certain companies and plans. I think businesses should proposed a deal with the programs companies to provide their workers with these applications for the companies needs. If all of these devices can be upgraded to enable workers to update information and work on the move so easily then all companies can progress very positively.
