If your business has decided that it’s time to choose a tablet
It’s worth considering what kind of things you are going to use it for. This way you know that you’ll match the right machine to your employee and business needs allowing your business to be more productive when out the office.
The major decisions are:
Which operating system do you prefer?
Google’s Android, Apple’s iOS and Microsoft’s Windows 8, or something else? If you use Macs in your office then iOS is the obvious choice, however if you run Windows PCs or a combination of the two then you might be better off using Google’s android. If you need to use your desktop applications on the go then Windows Surface tablets have better integration with desktop computers running Windows. Our experts can help you decide which is best for your business and talk you through the pros and cons of each operating system and type of tablet.
How big do you want the screen to be?
The difference between a 10-inch screen and a 7-inch screen may sound minimal, but the latter will slip into your coat pocket while the former will require a bag or a briefcase. 10-inch tablets are great for meetings and presentations, allowing you to share your documents with a group. 7-inch tablets are more portable and generally have better battery life, making them better for working while you commute.
Which features do you need?
Wifi, mobile wireless capabilities or both, which apps for your business and more.

Testimonials
I’d like to thank you and all at Lister Unified Communications very much for your help during the Rugby World Cup. From the first contact, taking requirements, giving advice, to accommodating our late changes and needs. I can say that your professionalism and service have been exemplary.
We have used Lister Unified Communications for the last 3 years. I find the simplicity of our bill and the ability to talk to our account manager when we need to is essential to keeping our mobile communications always working at peak efficiency. I thoroughly recommend Lister services to any business looking for the highest levels of service.
As a top 40 firm of chartered accountants and business advisers with strong reputation both regionally and nationally, we are focused on working with suppliers that we can truly depend on. For over 7 years Lister Unified Communications has delivered quality telephone services throughout our business. The unification of our services over the last few years has really improved the efficiently and cost effectiveness of the solutions that we use. If your business is looking for a strong backbone to its telecoms infrastructure we highly recommend Lister.
Communications is key to our business as we deliver to over 260 retail stores across the UK every single night. It is not untypical for us to deliver 1,000 trailers per day across the country. For each one, we deliver within a window of 15 minutes. Lister Communications play a key role in our telecommunications strategy.
We use Lister for our company communications, they provide us with the benefit of their expertise and knowledge and we reply on their experience and advisory service when helping our clients with new challenges.
Since moving to Lister Communications the thing that has impressed me the most is the service. They are quick, efficient, proactive and do what they say they will. From a customer point of view, what you want from a supplier is someone who offers competitive pricing, excellent service, fast response and takes all the work off of your hands. The team at Lister’s do all of that and more and I would be happy to recommend them to any business.
The Lister team are excellent account managers, giving clear and prompt communication in a friendly, pragmatic fashion. They continually impresses with their manner, commitment and willingness to go the extra mile.
We decided to install the TomTom WORK system to provide our office with live information as to vehicle locations, two way communications between van and office for emergency call outs and navigation for the engineers direct to the customer’s premises. We are able to respond efficiently to customer call outs and monitor live progress of the engineer’s response to the call out through confirmed notification of job completion.
This new telephone system has really brought the sites together and that’s something that really pleases me. As a business we provide our divisions with the latest and most suitable equipment for the job and we have also now done this with our communications systems. I particularly like the visibility we have across all the sites and this has made our customer service far more seamless and we are of course now enjoying free calls between sites.
