Get your company started with Evernote for Business

March 15, 2013

If your staffers simply need a note-taking application, Evernote is an obvious choice—it's the 800-pound gorilla, having grown in five years to 50 million users. But the program also offers an eclectic assortment of productivity features, and this is where its utility in business environments is much less obvious. Yes, Evernote runs on nearly every platform, and it can capture whatever information you collect in the wild, including notes, images, videos, links, voice recordings, and even handwritten scribbles. The app is packed with possibility, yet Evernote's CEO admits that its usefulness isn't immediately self-evident. But try it for at least a few weeks, Phil Libin says, and you'll appreciate how Evernote provides direct access to everything you might mentally and physically bookmark during a day's worth of work. You might even consider it your "second brain," surfacing data you didn't know you could live without. Why Evernote? Anywhere-access is a major selling point. Evernote can archive organizational wisdom. Think of the notes you scribbled on a business card two years ago. Or your manager's instructions that you (thankfully) recorded last week. Or the obscure article you clipped about a key competitor. Now, what if the rest of your colleagues could access that kind of Evernote data from any device, and what if you could access their data too? With Evernote, that archive of data doesn't collect dust. Instead, it grows and adapts along with your business. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
