Colin Bosa, CEO, Bosa Properties—
"Honestly, there isn’t an app out there right now that I truly couldn’t live without. What I couldn’t live without, however, is my Kindle. It’s how I receive my newspaper every morning and read my book every evening."
Janet Austin, CEO, YWCA Metro Vancouver—
"As one of the largest and most diversified non-profits in Metro Vancouver, a big part of my job is thanking people for their various contributions to the YWCA. I like to make my own thank you cards for our many supporters that have a personal touch and allow me to be creative, so my favourite app is Brushes, an app that allows me to draw special images on my iPad to share with our supporters and friends."
Jason Cohenour, president and CEO, Sierra Wireless—
“Good old Outlook email and calendar—it’s the best way to stay in touch with all stakeholders and stay on time in any country, any time zone and on any device.”
Michael Smit, CEO, Invoke Media—
“The one app that becomes a critical part of the business day is mail. By quickly getting through the inbox, when time allows, on your smartphone, time at the office can be spent building relationships, solving strategic problems or thinking and working creatively. With the volume of email that is inherent to business today, it's far too easy to get caught in a vicious cycle of assuming that a productive session in front of your computer is spent sending and receiving."
Sean Heather, owner, Heather Hospitality Group—
“The app that I can’t do without is the one that allows me to read the Irish Times newspaper on my iPhone. Even though I no longer live in Ireland and haven’t for many years, I am still very much in touch with friends and family back there and it is important to me that I am up to speed on all things Irish. It also gives me the Irish rugby coverage that I crave and can never find in North American publications.”
Tamara Vrooman, CEO, Vancouver City Savings Credit Union—
“The app I can’t live without, is of course, my Vancity mobile banking app because it allows me access to my accounts anywhere at any time, and it’s fast, safe and secure. I also use the Vancouver Sun app on a daily basis to stay connected with local daily news.”
Wynne Powell, president and CEO, London Drugs—
“Email is number one, but after email, it’s PressReader because I can dial in up to 1700 different newspapers around the world and get up to date news from those regions. Say... I want to know what’s going on in the Winnipeg community, I dial up one of the Winnipeg community papers and read it. It’s a fantastic product.”
