There you are enjoying a long summer evening, maybe you're sitting on the porch with the paper (or your iPad) or barbequing with your friends in the yard. Whatever it is, you find yourself thinking, "why am I not doing more of this?" Then you remember all the things that are keeping you at work in the evenings. It doesn’t have to be like this. With apps you can change your entire summer by working more efficiently. The AppExchange is here to help you be more productive at work and have more time for fun this summer.
