The CPA Technology Toolkit
Summary
The CPA Technology Toolkit includes desktops and laptops, tablets, smartphones, Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and so forth. One thing to be aware of in relation to this is that most hardware manufacturers provide two types of computers: a consumer model and a business model. The business product lines are targeted toward the business market in which the buyer may be price conscious but is also concerned about quality, performance, and longevity. In order to deploy multiple monitors, the desktop or laptop must have the required video components. This is a two-fold issue: a physical connection and the video capabilities. Google Apps™ service is a cloud/SaaS based bundle of applications designed to compete directly with Microsoft Office. Smartphones and Tablets are the foundation of mobile computing. There are three primary platforms in the smartphone and tablet markets: Apple iOS (iPhone®), Google Android™, and Microsoft Windows Mobile.
