The programme is also great for planning, co-ordinating and tracking office moves from one building to another, as employees can be notified with the appropriate information, whilst the facilities manager can oversee the whole transition. The software can also generate reports, reduce the need to physically examine a new office premises and create a visual directory that can be used by everyone in the office to locate equipment, co-workers and conference rooms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Evernote<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/evernote.com\/evernote\/\">Evernote<\/a> is a popular application that essentially allows you to take notes, and then store them across all your devices, syncing your updates so that you always have your latest version to hand. Indeed, you can take notes, capture photos, create to-do lists, record voice reminders and save tweets, among other handy functions. Whether you need to jot down points at a meeting, capture ideas or organise tasks, Evernote is the perfect productivity solution.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Dropbox<\/h2>\n<p>Another fantastic application is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/\">Dropbox<\/a>, which is an online storage system for all your documents, photographs and other files. With multiple storage space options, Dropbox can be accessed from all your devices, so that you can work on a specific document on your computer at work, and then update it later at home from your tablet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>CamCard<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.camcard.com\/\">CamCard<\/a> is a digital business card reader, which takes a picture of the business card and extracts the information, saving it and syncing across your smart devices. The app also allows you to create your own business card, with personalised content and rich media. No more will you have to dig through a drawer full of small pieces of cardboard with various people\u2019s business info \u2013 CamCard allows you to effectively manage all your contacts, and easily search for the person whom you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Asana<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.asana.com\/\">Asana<\/a> is an extremely useful collaborative tool where users can work together on projects, update on progress, and share documents.
