Business
s don’t like the idea of upgrading their IT systems because it not only slows down productivity but also is time-consuming and expensive.
In the case of Windows 8, its new interface has recently shifted from the Windows of old, making it even more difficult to embrace at the enterprise level.
However, there are some benefits that businesses can stand to gain if they do choose to mae the Windows 8 upgrade, and here are 4 of them:
#1: Faster Boot Time
Compared to Windows 7, where boot times averaged at 38 seconds, Windows 8 took all of 17 seconds to reach the Windows login screen. In the world of business, this makes a big difference. Again, if your hardware is state-of-the-art, boot times are even faster.
#2: Better Security
Secure Boot and SmartScreen Technology are two features that have upgraded security in Windows 8. The former only allows certified software to boot up while the latter prevents the download of malicious files over the internet regardless of whether you are using a browser or just downloading it from the network.
#3: Flexible Hardware Options
Desktops and laptops are changing form and function. In the case of a Dell XPS 12 Convertible Touch Ultrabook or even the Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13, the machine can be used as both a computer and a tablet, and the Windows 8 platform work for both – giving businesses flexibility in more ways than one.
#4: Networking
This feature is something that Windows users have had to grapple with whenever working from customer locations or remote locations. Thankfully, Windows 8 has made improvements making it easier to use in being more intuitive. Whether it’s the Airplane Mode or even the simple manner in which you can join a new network, the difficulties of the past remain where they belong – in the past.
