Enterprise Applications: 10 iPhone Apps for IT Administrators

Apple's iPhone Apps have seen a nearly exponential rate of proliferation since the launch of the App Store in July 2008, with many of the smartphone applications aimed at helping users with small, routine tasks (or procrastinate with several games of Pong). Big-name companies such as Google, Salesforce.com and Oracle have all created software designed to let users engage with their products even while on the road.

Even if out of the office, IT administrators can use the following Apps—all available from the iTunes App Store—to access and manage their systems remotely. By Nicholas Kolakowski
