Hi,
I have been tasked with sourcing some tablets for work to enable us to be as efficient as possible during our busy summer period when we are out of office a lot and needing access to information on the fly (summer schools)
Budget is not an issue.

Essentially we need tablets that will be able to access information on a cloud service (no idea which one?!?!?) to get spreadsheets etc from.
We exclusively use pcs in the office and all our work is on pdfs, excel, word with two database points that holds all the information in MS Access and CASPIO.

any ideas?
 
Yeh was leaning towards the surfaces so its good for confirmation that im on the right track... how do cloud based services work on the surfaces? Espexially the rt...do they have the apps or is skydrive used?? I dont think we have skydrive atm which is the only problem
 
You've come to ask a question armed with less than half the facts. What cloud services do you use? Do they have a tablet app? Does it exist on the platform's you're looking at? If not, is the mobile website utter trash or is it usable?

If you're trying to use a made-in-the-90s Access database on a tablet then there's not a tablet in existence that will be anything approaching remotely good at that task.

No I havent, I have clearly said what cloud service we use, I run all the services we use at work, I have all the facts and lol please made in the 90s database? were not in school here.....

I have realised though that people have been suggesting the Windows tablets, but the offical ones dont even have a 3g socket in them??? So i presume i will have to go with another maker.
