Was it only a few years ago that traveling away from the office meant descending into a black hole of missed emails, delayed communication, and diminished productivity? Looking back on it now, I wonder how I survived it all without a smart phone or tablet.

Luckily for workers today, there has been an incredible shift towards mobility, which has changed the way people work and communicate. A survey by Forrester revealed that more than half of all employees today are using three or more devices at work. This means that as a worker, you not only need a solution that is mobile, but you also must be able to sync and access your information across multiple devices.

Here at salesforce.com, one of our most important goals is to create a seamless experience among the range of devices that sales teams use in a normal workday. We know this is critical to driving on-the-go productivity. Particularly in sales, we understand it is not uncommon for a rep to work in different modes, whether at a customer location, at the airport or back in the office. 

Touch, available in just a few short weeks in our Winter '13 release, allows sales reps like you to get instant access to everything you need to move your deals to a close while on the road.  You’ll be able to connect with your account team, update your opportunities and stay in touch with your business from anywhere on your iPad.

But don’t take my word for it. Hear from one of our Strategic Account Executives, Ken Bowman, this week at Dreamforce. Join us for an exciting 30 minute session around how salesforce.com reps use our own mobility solutions to increase their efficiency. Learn how you can improve your sales productivity using our new Touch functionality, Chatter, Mobile Dashboards and more.

Come join us on Wednesday at 4:30pm.  See you at Dreamforce!
