advice, mobility
Handling technology infrastructure is tough, you're always on. You need up-
to-the-minute data, permanent access to corporate systems (even from the
beach), you need to be committed, connected and planning and resource
management are critical. If you've purchased a tablet in the last few months
it's probably an iPad, so we've put together a short list of apps every CIO's
iPad should have on board.

Desktop ($0.99)
Many complain the iPad won't let you run apps beside each other, as you can Enter your email address to receive live blog updates
on a Mac or PC. Desktop lets you run up to three of the following side-by-side in your mailbox:
in one window: email, browser, calculator, notepad, currency converter,
maps, translator, unit conversion, voice recorder, a world clock, even US weather reports. An excellent OK
productivity tool. Delivered by FeedBurner
Dropbox (free)
We're not recommending you use this service for those mission critical top secret files but for sharing
stay connected
work-in-progress between platforms, mobile devices and workgroups, Dropbox is hard to beat. The free
service is available on almost every platform and allows you to store Gigabytes of data at no charge, all
of which is mirrored on each registered device. ICTtoday

Dragon Dictation (free) ecosystem

There's some who dislike the iPad’s built-in keyboard. Others just want a way to jot down a quick memo
on-the-go. Using Dragon Dictation you can dictate emails or any other form of text, which you can then
copy-and-paste into your chosen word processing app, such as the Word-compatible Pages app.

Keynote ($9.99)
Apple's version of PowerPoint, Keynote is nicely compatible with Microsoft's presentation software and
makes for a good tool for going through your slides, editing or even creating PPT files. The big draw is
that, in conjunction with Apple's Digital AV Adaptor, you can use your iPad to show your presentations.
WebEx (free)
Web conferencing using Cisco's meeting standard is easy and, now the iPad 2 has a camera, pleasing.
Everything is supported: view presentations, take a look at the presenters desktop, be involved. blogroll archive
Alternative collaboration apps could include Skype, GoToMeeting and Apple's FaceTime.

Citrix Receiver for iPad (free) EMC

or back-end database your firm has on its machines. There's alternatives, too: iTeleport ($24.99) amd monthly
Green IT: Corporate

WinAdmin, iPad Edition ($7.99) Webex - web authors
conferencing
As a CIO, you might have to drop into your Windows-based network from time-to-time. Take a look at
this app, which provides a Microsoft Windows RDP (remote desktop protocol) client to connect with
remote Windows systems. Run applications remotely, change configurations, and more.
OmniGraffle ($4.99)
You want to create flow charts for ideas, network changes, site design, you need OmniGraffle. Equally
useful for idea development or event planning. You may also like Popplet, which helps you organise and
develop your ideas.
These are just a taste of the many handy iPad apps out there for business users, with more appearing on
the platform every day.
