• Business cards are certainly not the most exciting essential business tool but they could be if you adopted the latest technology. The CamCard app is a great example of this allowing you to create an AR Card with your image, product images, videos and audio files all attached.

Presenter capabilities can be passed to other users and other users can be invited to join the meeting at any time. Available on Apple, Android and BlackBerry.

• Task lists have moved on a long way too with the Asana Mobile app delivering shared task lists with up to 15 staff. Perfect for managing projects users can add tasks, completion dates, priorities, attach files including those stored in Dropbox, attach images and set-up recurring items. Asana Mobile is available on Apple and Android devices.

Smartphones and tablets can now open, review and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and perform rich editing tasks with items such as charts and animations. Available on Android and Apple files can easily be stored on Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive and Google Drive.

An additional benefit delivered by Expensify is that lost receipts can be recreated in the form of an IRS guaranteed eReceipt by importing credit card transactions. The app can also track business mileage and is available on Apple, Android, BlackBerry and Windows smartphones.

You only need to look back 12 months to see how quickly mobile phone technology is developing: our handsets are getting faster, lighter and smarter with each passing year. There’s plenty more to come too, as phone manufacturers continue to push the limits of what’s possible with a mobile.

The good news for consumers is that there will be more choice than ever before as the major players look to out-manoeuvre each other. When your current contract expires and it’s time to view mobile phone deals again, you’ll find there are plenty of handsets to pick from, covering the whole spectrum of price and capabilities.

More sensors

Your phone can already tell where you are in the world and how you’re holding your mobile, and there are more sensors on the way. This year, expect to see more accurate fitness tracking sensors (to measure jogging, sleep patterns and so on), that remove the need to wear any kind of wristband or strap.

Further down the line, advanced sensors in our phones could measure data like humidity and air quality, feeding this information back to the web to provide a real-time weather map for anyone to access. The phones of the future will one day be able to monitor your heart-rate and general health too.

Screen sizes

No matter what size screen you’re comfortable with, chances are that there’s a phone out there to match. While the general trend throughout 2013 has been for phones to get bigger (with some ‘phablets’ looking more like tablets than phones), 2014 will see new handsets launching that offer a wide range of display sizes. Whether you prefer something bigger or smaller, you should be able to find a mobile to your taste.

Curved screens made an appearance right at the end of 2013, and more are on the way in the next 12 months. With manufacturing processes improving, you might see many different screen shapes emerge, particularly if they prove popular with consumers. 2013 might be the last year that the traditional flat slab mobile phone had its last hurrah.

Speed and data

It goes without saying that the hardware inside our phones will get faster and more capable, opening up opportunities for app developers to make tools that are increasingly powerful. Quad-core processors are now the norm for top-end phones and you can expect to see these mini CPUs getting increasingly powerful as the year goes on.

Data speeds are an important part of the mobile experience, with so much of what we do on our phones relying on a good web connection. 4G has at last started to roll out across the UK, and as the infrastructure improvements continue, you should find you have a much faster and more stable connection from your handset by the time Christmas 2014 arrives.

Making predictions in the world of technology is always a tricky business but this much is certain: 2014 is set to be the most exciting year yet for mobile phones, as they grow smarter, more powerful and more versatile.

The CompTIA Project+ certification is used to validate that project managers possess the necessary skills to be able to complete specific IT centered projects within a specified time frame, while maintaining the budget for the project. The examination reviews over the entire life of a project cycle. The lifespan of project cycles begin at the initiation and planning faces, along with execution, acceptance, support, as well as closure.

Unlike other project management certifications that exist, the CompTIA Project+ certification can be obtained in a reasonable time span, and the cost for the examination is economically friendly. Individuals interested in completing the examination will not need to possess any type of prerequisites to be able to do so. They are not required to submit applications to take the exam, nor will they have to complete additional higher education courses.

The examination is available in three different languages, English, Korean, and Japanese. It consists of one hundred questions, and applicants are given ninety minutes to complete the examination in entirety. The examination, known by its exam code PK0-003 is graded on a sliding grade scale.

The sliding grade scale starts at one hundred and goes to nine hundred. The minimum passing score for the examination is 710 and higher. Individuals that successfully pass the examination and receive the accompanied certification will be able to obtain employment as business analysts, project managers, as well as project team members. Major IT corporations such as Dell, Alltel, and CDW hold this certification in high regards.
