Introduction

The emergence of the Apple-iPad in 2010, further spur these technological advancements with the addition of several questions associated with the use of Tablet devices in business processes and productivity. Several surveys and researches have been carried out to answer these questions. However the Tablets have quickly proved to lift up the capabilities of employees, organisations, and business processes that ultimately results in improving productively, performance and revenues (Desisto, 2011). Recently, there has been significant growth in the sales of Tablet PCs, which expected to exceed in 2016 by replacing the desktop and laptop computers. As determined by the Tablet manufacturing companies in UK and US the reason of increasing usage of Tablet PCs in organisation may also increase due to the enhanced compatibility, accessibility, and productivity that can be achieved while using Tablet PCs for business purposes (See Appendix Chart.7).

The major business benefits of Tablet also include the enhanced responsiveness, faster decision-making ability, speedy solutions for internal problems, and enhanced productivity in employees (Enterasys, 2011, p.5). In future the number of organisation supporting the use of Table PCs for their employees may also increase.

Findings and Analysis

The joint researches have exposed the primary use of tablet PCs for purposes of emailing and browsing that increases the communication and collaboration amongst employees as well as employees and clients and enhanced productivity (See Appendix Chart.6). It has been observed that tablet PCs are suitable for presentations and reading but, have limitations for more creative purposes. Therefore, the Tablets are not considered to be the replacement or substitute of Desktop or Laptop, but regarded as a supplement to other devices such as Smartphone and laptop for business and organisations (Mobile Demand, 2009). However, the employees found Tablets better as compared to laptops. The employees have been observed to use Smartphone and Laptops 23% lesser than it was used before the emergence of Tablet ...
