“... Now that Verizon is offering the HP X3, I would love it if they switched to Windows Phone....”
I had to support ONE once. Odd how hard it was to set up with Exchange Server. Android and Apple were SO easy. I made the salesman go back and exchange it for an Android or Apple. Didn’t matter to me. Either were easy to support.
Another failed Microsoft attempt. Day late and a dollar short. Heck, a million dollars short. Never was a viable contender, and who wanted to develop for such a tiny market share platform? ESPECIALLY considering the history of what happened to companies doing business with Microsoft!
Like I said the last time this came up, I’m not sure what your problem was, but I had my two Exchange accounts, from two different domains, set up within seconds on my Windows Phone with the Outlook app. It was not any different than iOS or Android.
“... Bean counter, the #3 occupation I despise the most just behind college ‘professors’ and salesmen....”
You hold lawyers and politicians in high regard? How about preachers asking for millions for a new jet?
Yes, yes I do.
I expect he's using Heinlein's microscope to differentiate "Bean Counters" from "Accountants", much like how Lawyers can be split into "Ambulance Chasers" and "People who Genuinely want to Help People"...
...which remains, me, I need to read "Friday" again...
I have no idea what a Heinlein is, haven’t used a microscope since middle school and Friday means nothing more to me then my favorite day of the week. I’m just a simple blue collar redneck who works in IT, who had a grandfather that ran a successful family farm and a great uncle with a successful auto repair business from after WWII to the late ‘80s. It absolutely amazes me how two of my family members from The Greatest Generation managed to build lives for themselves with no fancy degrees or no knowledge of cost analysis, no micro managing of credit ledgers or whatever fancy things businesses do these days.
Businesses are generally way too worried about the present instead of thinking about the future. Save a dollar now, only to spend two next quarter. I’ve got new computers that I can’t order until Jan 1 2018 because of budget reasons. I have one user who can charge their laptop, and one with a screen that’s held on with gorilla tape because the Service dept is too close to their budget. $2400 is $2400, who cares if it’s spent in November 2017 or January 2018. I am incapable of understanding that logic. But whatever, I just order this stuff and configure it. I don’t understand business nor do I want to.
Where the availability of apps that connect your phone with enterprise software applications like Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Resource Planning are concerned, there isn't anything on the WinMo side.
Office really isn't all that. I use it only to deal with documents that, because Office was used to create them, only Office can deal with them. That is absolutely not a recommendation.
Not really. We use Microsoft Dynamics CRM and there is a Windows Mobile app available. Our ERP is from Infor. Other than managers, no one who has a company issued phone even has a logon on for our ERP. The guys out in the field in both sales and service have no use for it. While we haven’t upgraded, and have no plans to do so unless it’s required, the new feature pack of Infor’s ERP systems are web based, and it’s pretty mobile friendly, taking out the need for an app.
