Entering 2015 behind on your holiday shopping is one thing, but being behind on your mobile tech is another. Having all of your information on hand is essential in today’s society. You never know when you will have to provide a document or edit a basic spreadsheet on the go. To keep you better prepared, we at Vertical IT have prepared the top five mobile apps you need on all of your smart devices in 2015.

5. Adobe Reader

Reading a PDF document shouldn’t be difficult, and you should be able to do it properly. Adobe is the best software when it comes to PDFs. Free on all app stores, you shouldn’t have a problem viewing all of your important documents with easy tools and proper display settings.

4. Google Chrome

If you’ve ever found yourself interrupted while reading a site on your desktop, and wished you could pick up where you left off on your smartphone, you’ll want to get Google Chrome. It’s easy to sync up all your bookmarks and tabs between your various devices, so you are ready on the go. Don’t go anywhere without your favorites, because they wouldn’t be called that if you didn’t always want them.

3. Norton Mobile Security

A paid internet security software has to be part of this list. There is a lot of malware in the internet world and it hijacks your applications. Don’t let it infect files that are on your device, you wouldn’t want them to spread to your computers. Norton comes with other handy features: contact backup, parental control, and lost phone finder as a start. For more security options, contact Vertical IT as they deal with IT support issues on all devices. Knowing how to protect your device and not infecting the rest will keep you running properly and efficiently. Give them a call at (888) 505-8215 or send them an email, info@verticalitcorp.com.

2. A Cloud Storage App

You can pick any cloud storage app, but it is preferred you use Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive for security reasons. Keep your important files with you, and edit them on your device or office unit. Be careful to make sure viruses, malware and security threats don’t transfer over. Following suggestion 3 is a good guideline, but the more security the better. Contact Vertical IT for top malware prevention. They know how to connect your devices via the cloud and keep everything secure with proper IT support. It never hurts to have a second opinion. Contact Vertical IT for your IT consultation, today.

1. Office 365

Office 365 comes with Office Mobile for your smart devices. This is the number one must-have app on all of your devices. Being able to adapt, edit and execute projects on the go is key to success. Need to edit a file on the subway or add to your budget sheet? No problem! Access it through your cloud and get editing. Sure, there are free document processing programs, but they don’t give you the formatting and security like Microsoft does.

Vertical IT also deals with Office 365, network administration and security. Don’t go unprotected on some devices, as they have the ability to infect your entire network. Tighten up your links and patch over the gaps. A weak link can cause an entire network to fall.
