Using dead time, 1,000,000,000 mobile workers

1 BILLION mobile workers by 2011, that's the forecast by IDC.

So if you're one of the 84% of SMEs who believe technology gives them a competitive advantage and plays an key role in improving profitability, then this is crucial for you.

Yoolaa - our mission is Your Office Online Anywhere Anytime. At Yoolaa we perceive that this means Using Dead Time to its fullest extent. Let me explain.

Mobile phones mean that you can use Dead Time to call people to progress anything you can remember needs doing; and also take incoming calls where somemone needs information from you.
PDAs mean that you can use Dead Time more effectively because you can see your diary and your tasks outstanding.

Dead Time can include: time waiting for a flight, sitting on a train, having a coffee because you're early for a meeting, a planned gap in your diary and it can also mean time lost in commuting.

On-line Business Management system. With Yoolaa we really do mean your office online, so we need to provide your office filing and control system as we well as making you a direct participart in the phone system. We make your business management system available in full to you wherever you can use a laptop or notebook PC, so you have as much information as if you are in the office; to this we've added an Internet based PBX system so that you can accept calls as if you are in the office.

Another report states that SMEs lose £60,000 pa from DEAD time. so lets look at them more closely:
- sitting on the bus, train or plane
- waiting for your connection
- arriving early for a meeting
- taking notes during the course of the meeting
- creating new actions during the meeting for other team members to handle before leaving the meeting
- using up-to-date information during the meeting

Really we need to go beyond this because it may not really be necessary to travel to the meeting, can we get 'eye-contact' in another way - and that's what we at Yoolaa are working on next.

using the ASUS eee PC is just a dream come true.

I think you'll be more interested in how a particular person uses Yoolaa and the direct benefits that flow.

So far we've added videos for you to show:
- faster phoning, not least because ALL the information you may need is at your fingertips
- version control or how to stop using the phrase "Oh, no, I'll have to do it all again."
- converting an email into an action, diary entry or just filing it as a document, only for emails where you need to do something
- for security and systems resilience, you just try and beat this!!
