What are the advantages of PDAs for organizations?

Today's PDAs are becoming more and more essential tools for organizations. For managers who travel a lot, instead of carrying laptops they now carry a compact small device that allows them to do everything in one. In addition, they can carry their PDA in their pocket.

Another main advantage for organizations is that with the use of PDAs, managers, employees, CEOs, and everyone who has to work with information have it ready to use on their device. Because a lot of information can be kept on a PDA, people can now keep crucial information on them, and they are able to use it anytime and anywhere in the world, as soon as needed.

New softwares that can be installed on PDAs allow the tracking of patients, writing prescriptions, doing research on specific drugs, consulting files etc. However, as it will be discussed in the next section, for the health sector, PDAs also carry disadvantages.
