Are You Mobile?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being mobile brings more efficient and better communication and saves time when calling on people. With the right mobile devices you can have remote access to your RDS Advantage and RDS Connect database.<\/p>\n

Pastor Jones is calling on members at the hospital, and wants to look up all those who are in Mercy Hospital. With a Mini Laptop or tablet he can access the RDS Contact Management records at the church and find information for each person in that hospital. Or he can see any information in his RDS system and make entries about his contacts.<\/p>\n

Almost every month sees more equipment available for this purpose. So here are some ideas you might consider.<\/p>\n

Tablets and laptops are the best choice because their screens are large enough to see data and make entries. Be sure the tablet you buy supports the app, PocketCloud Pro, which is available for both Android and Apple tablets. This gives you secure access to your data.<\/p>\n

Laptops are another choice. PocketCloud is not needed for this purpose, and you will establish a \u2018Remote Desktop\u2019 connection. Remote Desktop is used for both Windows and Mac laptops.
\nE-readers can be used, but many on the market today do not yet support PocketCloud Pro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
