thomson, cch going mobile

there’s an app for that.

both cch and thomson reuters headlined their user conferences with new mobile apps.

first, thomson reuters released mobile cs, “a first-of-its-kind iphone app for tax and accounting professionals.”  as a practice management tool, it extends practice cs from desktop to iphone. practice cs has 60,000 users.

then, cch launched cch mobile, a mobile app providing smartphone access to intelliconnect tax research.

to jim boomer of boomer consulting, the trend is clear:

these two announcements signal to me that the capabilities of mobile devices like the ipad and smartphones will continue to expand in regards to business applications. i don’t think it’s a surprise that both companies are headed in this direction. what is eye-opening is the speed with which they’ve responded to the market’s rapid adoption of new mobile devices. hold on for the ride, i think the next several months will be quite interesting!
