New app for business cards makes it easier to store data

New app may make it easier to store business cards.

In the age of smartphones, social media and increasingly sophisticated technology the possibilities for networking are seemingly endless.

Around the world a range of new media platforms are being developed in a bid to mix the old with the new and update the ways companies do business.

For example, yesterday (November 1) the software team at ABBYY, a leading provider of data services, announced the launch of its "digital card case".

The new app, which was developed for iPhone, has been fine-tuned to keep up to speed with modern business practices.

And it uses award-winning Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to make sure that users can easily take a photo of a business card and have the information stored automatically on their phone.

The new system may be of benefit to brands for two reasons - firstly, it reduces the time it takes to store contact details, and secondly it takes away any fear business leaders may have that their card is not being used appropriately.

Yet this is just one of the various examples of the way individuals and brands are opening communication channels and sharing information.

Updating the type of information that is placed on cards, such as a URL address, is also a sure fire way to guarantee your business stays relevant.

And by enlisting the help of expert printing services, you can ensure that the information on your company's business card photographs easily.

However, this may involve changing the colour scheme or layout of the data provided so will likely require ongoing consultation.

But having clear, concise and easy-to-read contact details will make it easier for the app, as well as similar products, to store your information.

It will also present a professional image that is sure to make a lasting impression on the person receiving you card.
