Tablets are Becoming the New Paper

We have been developing new products for the iPad and Android tablets lately.

One of the things that is becoming really clear to me is that tablets are becoming the new paper.

Just like a piece of paper, the tablet is a flat rectangular surface. You can write and draw on it with a stylus just like you use a pencil or pen to write on a piece of paper.

So you can use it exactly like a piece of paper, but then it gets better. You can save what you do to an electronic document, email it, save the data to a database. To do all these things if you had written on a piece of paper would require scanning and re-keying.

As compared to a laptop or desktop computer, the tablet starts instantly and gives you a touch screen. Big deals when you need a signature.

Here is a short - 2 minute and 34 second - video of our small contribution to the re-imagining paper as a tablet.

This is our ACORD One and Field Agent service. It includes mobile ACORD forms, best practices forms, and field survey and diagram forms.

Enjoy.
