#10: Google app suite
As a small business, you are going to need a core suite of apps that accomplish basic tasks. As I write this article with Google Docs, I have the power to add comments, share, outline, format, and everything you may think of with text. Google Sheets in akin to Excel, Google Slides akin to Powerpoint, etc. The Google suite of apps is an essential tool to drive success in your business. Ensure you can access your files from anywhere with AT&T’s fast mobile solutions.
