How much time do you spend flicking between windows - from email, to Excel, to Word, to the accounting system? Staff that spend their day flipping between applications suffer a productivity shortfall due to lose of continuity. It effects some people more than others, but we know that people hwo use a computer for most of their work day suffer the most. Thats typically accounting and call centre staff who often need to enter similar data in two places or simultaneously view activity in two applications.
There is a simple answer to this and it’s called "Dual Monitors." Dual monitors take advantage of windows multitasking, allowing you to have two applications running full screen at the same time. I use Dual Monitors on my office PC and I’m amazed how I ever managed to get anything done with out them.
Figures of 30% productivity gains have been quoted in some places. I can believe that, although only in a small number of cases. I personally believe that most sales, call centre, accounting and management staff will see a productivity increase from Dual Monitors. At an average cost of less than $650 for a 2nd 17” LCD monitor and a Dual Monitor card, its not hard to see the logic in doing this. Even a very modest 2.5% productivity gain makes the ROI amazingly short.
What is needed to do this? We just need the make and model of the PC and we can get a price on the card to suit. Installing the card and setting it up typically takes around an hour. Training on its usage takes only moments, few things are simpler to grasp than a second monitor.
Let us help you kick these people up a gear with "Dual Monitors."
