When you are on the move, and your office needs to move with you, having these apps on your mobile phone or tablet can help you to stay connected, organised and on top of your game.
Skype
Skype is essential for anybody who needs to stay in touch with colleagues, friends and family while travelling, allowing you to make free calls to other Skype users. Even when you're not near a Wi-Fi point, you can still communicate over 3G, and enjoy Skype's low data rates.
Dropbox
Need to get that file to New York ahead of your arrival in the Big Apple? Dropbox allows you to share files with others no matter where you are, or what device you are using. Simply upload your file, enter the email addresses of the people you want to share your data with, and you're done.
Tripit
When your business budget won't allow for your personal assistant to travel with you, let Tripit do the hard work. Tripit will keep your flights, hotel and car bookings together in one handy itinerary, and can also give you directions, local weather data and the ability to sync your trip details with Outlook or Gmail. Just don't tell your PA, as they might start to feel inadequate!
Jetlag Genie (IOS Only)
Jetlag is the curse of many business travellers, and can make the difference between nailing that sales pitch or bombing completely. Step forward Jetlag Genie. This little app will help you to get your sleeping patterns in sync and can even tell you when it's time to get some sunshine, or simply sit in the dark. Simply tap in your flight details and your destination, and let Jetlag Genie set your sleep and napping schedule for you. You'll be acclimatised in no time!
Evernote
Once you've had Evernote installed for a few weeks, you'll wonder how you managed without it. This cloud-based service allows you to store voice and text memos, take photos, save entire web pages or snippets and keep yourself organised on the go. What's more, it syncs for offline access.
