Meet the sectors in which Brazil already betting on Mobile

Replace paper medical records available for tablets or mobile payments are some trends

One of the greatest scholars programming, Alan Kay once said that “technology is technology only for those born before it was invented.” I have observed that this phrase long fitted the use of new technological resources by enterprises. For example, before it was easier to find programs on mobile devices and newer companies, with little time to market, and that until then were more open to these novelties. I now realize that there is no distinction in the adoption of these features: There are many companies and more traditional sectors who are seeking innovation and getting good results with it.

But also, it’s no wonder. Organizations are increasingly available to its hardware and software that perform tasks that greatly facilitate the management of the business. And expectations are that the options are even more varied with the passage of time. Gartner, for example, published a list of predictions for IT in the coming years, and one of them points out that by 2020 there will be a proliferation of intelligent machines. Aware systems, intelligent consultants and advanced global manufacturing systems will be able to do what we now believe can be only be done by people.

So it is not hard to find sectors betting systems and mobile devices. Below is a list of some examples that will show how technology combined with good strategies can positively contribute to the business:

Medicine: Although it is not common to all hospitals in Brazil, some medical centers are investing in tablets and applications that facilitate access to patients’ medical records. In addition to bringing agility to the work of doctors, the system allows saving paper, more efficient data sharing and probably fewer errors.

Security: The internet has allowed the security sector access to information and images anytime, anywhere. And the big tech companies in this sector have seen a great market to bring news. Apple announced during the Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, the launch of HomeKit, which is part of the company entering the home automation market strategy. The system will allow the user to control the entry and exit of your home through your smartphone, this is the internet of things. Surely this integration of safety devices is a trend for the coming years has begun to attract the interest of tech giants.

Education: While in Brazil the schools that use mobile devices as a complement to school are minorities, this scenario tends to change. This is because, besides the children have gained a greater familiarity with the Internet, smartphones, and all the online resources, teachers are finding an opportunity to stimulate learning through the use of specific hardware and apps. In addition, the collaborative content platforms have become popular. They bring the discussion and explanation of content, being accessed by mobile devices allow people to view this information from anywhere, anytime.

Retail: Can you believe there are about 40 years when the credit card arrived in Brazil, people used only cash and checks? If payment on credit and debt has been a major breakthrough at the time of purchase, forms of mobile payment today who are advancing the country will significantly change the retail. It is possible to pay by mobile phone in some stores of major Brazilian cities.

Of course it will not be overnight that it will happen, but do not take too many years as previously. Still depends on many variables: economy, user behavior, demand, among others. But my suggestion is to start thinking about it, if you have not already.
