Technology in business is always changing. Pop in a VHS of any 80s movie and you’ll see cell phones the size of bricks and computers with monitors the size of your car! And there was a lot of faxing: as you may have noticed, we rarely fax anything anymore. Even just 10 years ago we didn’t have the plethora of gadgets and apps that we do today. Let’s go over four recently released services that are particularly helpful to business professionals:<\/p>\n
Uber (est. 2009)<\/strong><\/p>\n Uber is much less expensive than renting a car, and this cost difference alone makes it more appealing for business professionals to use compared to the previous method of using taxis and other car services. Uber recently released Uber for Business<\/a>, which offers a number of features for employers. These features include centralized billing, which allows all employees under a company to link to a single payment source, and they can even attach expense memos to eliminate the hassle of saving receipts.<\/p>\n Another key feature of Uber for Business is that it allows employers to track transportation costs in real time, and they can decide to cut an employee off from the company dime at any time if it seems they are using the service more than necessary.<\/p>\n Airbnb (est. 2008)<\/strong><\/p>\n Like Uber, Airbnb<\/a> takes a traditional business expense (lodging in hotels) and provides the same service for a fraction of the cost. Not only is the price attractive, but the service is better than what you would find at a hotel as well.<\/p>\n A hotel is just a series of pods, every room near identical. A stay at one of the homes and apartments listed on Airbnb is just the opposite: every listing represents a unique experience, a slice of someone’s life that you get all to yourself for a few nights. If you’re looking to find a place for multiple employees, you can select a place with a gourmet kitchen and a spacious meeting place to accommodate as many people as you need.<\/p>\n In addition to this more personal and memorable experience, Airbnb has recently teamed up with Concur<\/a> to allow employers to have their expense reports pre-populated.<\/p>\n
