Asif Ali, BigHand Head of Products, commented:
“While mobile professionals face a myriad of challenges in working effectively away from their main office or site, using BigHand they can significantly and instantly improve their out-of-office document production efficiency. Now, for example, any CEO only needs to be armed with their iPhone plus the BigHand app to instantly record and send verbal tasks to team members and track the progress of delegated work in real time. It will also enable them to take photos and record associated notes, convert those notes to text, and access office-based secretarial assistance for their longer document or report requirements.”
