Connecting Address Book Software Everywhere

By Allyson Burke


The one piece of software that everyone uses is address book software. It is used on all the various types of computers, cell phones, tablets and all electronic devices. The one problem is however, when we try to use or send data to a program that is not compatible with the one that we are using or normally use.

The programs that run on all of these devices is mostly the same even though it may be produced by different companies. Even though different companies make these programs many of them have the same functions and some of them can even still work with one another. This is an advantage to the end user when they can still communicate with people on different programs.

Of course if it was up to the individual companies they would want people all on the same program. On their software of course. Still, the main thing is to be in touch and have the opportunity to contact people we need to talk to. This is important for both business and our personal lives. This is the basis of social media today.

The contact information that we use in order to get in touch with others is what the address book software stores for us. The data it collects is very important because without it we would not know how to reach other people unless we could memorize everything, which we cannot. This is why we use it.

Sometimes however the software has problems, loses data, uses the wrong data, or cannot sync up with numerous other devices that we use on a daily basis. When this happens we could have a major problem. Especially if something we need to do or talk about is time sensitive. It is for this reason that the programs sync function is one of the main tools that it has.

As long as the function works properly there is no problem. However, there are sometimes issues with devices manufactured by various different companies. Things such as Android connecting with iPhone. This is not always possible and can be a troublesome issue if the topic of the conversation is business related or an emergency of some kind.

Trying to get in touch with people just by memory is impossible today if we are not using one of these devices that we have gotten so used to. Our family even, we cannot even think of their numbers when we need them if it is not for the phone or tablet that we always have attached to our fingertips. This is how our lives are managed today.

The different address book software that we all use will work best for us when it can communicate with all the various other programs and devices on the market. That means either total functionality or we all just utilize one program across the board. Either way it will be a tough sell because there is still money being made. All the companies that are making these programs are selling millions of them so it will be hard to change.
