Business Booms on a Mac
There’s a Reason You Started Your Business
Perhaps you wanted the freedom to control your own destiny. Or to spend more time engaging in your craft. Or to turn an idea into reality. Whatever the case may be, Apple’s innovative and easy-to-use solutions are designed to help you better manage, market and mobilize your business — whether it’s designing buildings, baking bread, practicing medicine or creating marketing campaigns.
Innovative, Reliable Solutions for Managing Your Business
Macs come with many critically acclaimed Apple-designed applications necessary for running a business — such as an email client, web browser and calendar — so you can be productive right out of the box. Applications universally used by small businesses, like Microsoft Office, QuickBooks and FileMaker Pro, are all available and run on the Mac. And Macs are based on industry standards, allowing straightforward file sharing with Windows-based clients and easy integration with PCs, printers and networks already in place. Plus, Apple’s business customers swear by the Mac’s ease of use and worry-free maintenance, so there’s no need to incur the cost of an in-house IT department. Has your business ever been affected by system crashes, viruses or security breaches? With Mac OS X, you have a reliable and secure operating system so you don’t have to worry about downtime affecting your revenue stream.
Creative, Cost-Effective Ways to Market Your Business
To help you communicate with your clients and potential clients more effectively, Macs come with a powerful, intuitive, Apple-designed software suite called iLife, which can help you promote your business using digital photos, movies, music and DVD media. And there’s Keynote, Apple’s presentation software that lets you create cinema-quaility presentations featuring 3D transitions and eye-catching animations. Need a website? It’s easy to extend your reach to the Internet by creating a homepage on .Mac. And, of course, Macs run mainstream creative applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Contribute, so you can customize your brand and web campaigns to meet your marketing needs, save money and put your business where it belongs — front and center.
Powerful, Portable Tools to Mobilize Your Business
Work on your business anywhere with the sleek, full-featured PowerBook and iBook notebook computers — and extend your freedom even further with the AirPort Extreme wireless solution. Offering built-in Ethernet and wireless-ready with the industry-standard 802.11g (“WiFi”) protocol, Apple notebook computers fit into any networking environment, whether you’re at the office, home, client site, airport or coffee house. Create your own wireless network using the industrial strength AirPort Extreme or the portable AirPort Express, which allows you to bring your wireless network with you just about anywhere. And with the widescreen 17-inch PowerBook, you have an unparalleled mobile presentation platform, meaning you won’t need a second chance to create a first impression. And finally, Macs can sync your important information such as contacts and calendar with your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone or PDA, so you always have critical business information at your fingertips.
