PCWorld: SMB Sales People Get iPads To Replace Laptops
Is this a lead you should follow in your small business? One company is replacing its sales force’s laptops with iPads. They’ll be able to show spiffy product demos and will include a custom app to tap into a corporate CRM system.
“In the next few months, Jeff Letasse, vice president of IT for Conceptus, will hand out more than 220 iPads to every salesperson in the company. He plans to wean them off of their trusty laptops and PDAs, with the hope of never having to buy another laptop for a salesperson again.
The dam holding back consumer devices in the enterprise ‘has broken wide open,’ Letasse says.”
