Apple is all about to try to get its act together and in top form.
Apple is to start a creative foray into the corporate world. A salesmanship worth millions of dollars will work for Apple exclusively. And its job will be consulting with clientele such as Citigroup Inc. It will also act in sync with about 12 developers.
The halted progress in growth figures can be stymied thanks to this move. iPads are not selling well and so this widening of the work will be a welcome step. It’s been almost a hundred days since Apple’s partnership with IBM got off the ground.
The main aim was to make applications for corporate customers. These will then get sold on gadgets. Among the competitors /4/be included: HP, Dell, Oracle and SAP. Further plans are not being revealed by Apple which likes to keep things under wraps.
The partnership with Big Blue will only help Apple in its quest to beat its rivals in the market. The whole matter was kept hushed up and the few sources that spoke up did so only on the condition of total anonymity.
Apple has also worked in tandem with ServiceMax and PlanGrid to sell apps to the corporate sector in the United States of America. PlanGrid is an app for builders to discuss blueprints with each other.
ServiceMax is an app that allows field service workers to get easy access to the proper information they require. Apple is definitely wheeling and dealing its way to the top. Its partners can only benefit it in the long run.
Service Max has Procter & Gamble and DuPont among its client list. Already eight dine-ins have been hosted for Apple by these clients in the past 365 days or so. Many officers visited the sites on these occasions.
The execs at Service Max say that the majority of their people use Apple contraptions. These often consist of iPads and iPhones. It is a market worth $15 billion which is a lot. The opportunity and risk for Apple is equally great. But this is a giant step that must be taken since such challenges often occur in business dealings.
Apple thinks this whole new operation is chaotic at best since it involves too many factors. Apple definitely wants a piece of the action though. It is hungry for more. And its competitors in the market have their eyes set on the same target. Ultimately, all this shall come to pass and finally in the end things will dovetail for Apple much to its satisfaction.
