Here is the list of software I use to make my work life easier when I moved from Windows+Blackberry to Mac+iPhone.
-
Microsoft Office for Mac
- There is really no alternative to Microsoft Entourage (part of Microsoft Office for Mac) if one uses MS Exchange-shared calendars.
- If the office workflow requires documents formatted in Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint or Word, then its best to buy this to ensure full formatting compatibility
-
Evernote for Mac and Evernote for iPhone
- A very good note taking application for your Mac and iPhone.
- Data sync automatically between the two over the air.
- Can also sync variety of files formats, images taken from camera (capture whiteboards and wine labels ) and web links.
-
OmniFocus for Mac and OmniFocus for iPhone
- A solid task-management tool based on GTD methodology
- Has a sharp learning curve for a GTD newbie but is very powerful when mastered
- iPhone and Mac versions sync automatically over the air.
-
Parallels Desktop
- Virtualization Software to run Windows on Mac
- Not required for most cases unless there is that one windows app that you need to run.
