Mobile technology can help you go green and reduce your overall paper consumption while giving you the access you need. And not carrying paper means you’re less likely to lose important information, saving trees and your sanity at the same time.

Carry your important contact info in your smartphone. Calendar apps help you keep track of appointments, and note-taking apps let you jot down your thoughts on your latest project or organize your to-do list. Navigate to your next meeting with VZ Navigator® or Google Maps™ with Navigation. Use Lemon – Receipts Refreshed to organize your receipts and make them taggable and searchable. Track your work-related expenses with a financial app. Store images of contacts’ business cards in your phone so you don’t have to add bulk to your wallet.

Stay on top of current events with newspaper and magazine apps. Need to know more about the business your client just mentioned? Access the Internet on any of your mobile devices.

Exchange files between devices, such as your desktop, tablet and phone so you can work on the go, including creating and editing Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. You can even give a PowerPoint presentation from your phone.

With mobile technology, you can work unencumbered by tons of paper, so you can move faster than your competition.
