Multi-touch software programs can be developed for specific business uses, for general industry purposes, or to integrate with existing business software and hardware systems. These programs can be used simply for navigation purposes and to control functions of a touch screen display, or they can be developed as complex, proprietary protocols to run the everyday operations of even the most sophisticated companies. And while start-ups and some well-established businesses have chosen to have complete hardware and software solutions developed and deployed, other business have taken advantage of the fact that multi-touch software can integrate with current hardware systems and save a substantial amount of money and resources.

Multi-touch software can take your existing Windows based systems and streamline them for better performance. This is accomplished by the reorganization of the desktop and icons in a more visual-friendly format. Clutter is reduced or completely eliminated and the most prominent functions are quite literally at hand with logical placement of critical operating functions. These intuitive systems allow a user to drill into items to uncover related pieces of information and access sub-files and sub-folders. Research and the accumulation of data are relegated to the tap of a finger, the swipe of a hand or the flip of a wrist.

The most convenient feature of multi-touch software is that it does not change the normal Windows operating system. Files, folders, videos, pictures, programs and applications can all be found in their customary places and are run using the same commands. Web browsers are launched and controlled as normal, only with the human hand versus a clunky, insensitive and outdated mouse or other pointing device. With all of the benefits that a touch screen display has to offer, it's no wonder that former Macintosh OS users are switching to Windows based programs in order to take advantage of multi-touch software.

One of the principle goals of professional multi-touch software developers was to create a technologically advanced solution for people that are not technologically savvy. This means that despite the fact that touch screen displays and multi-touch hardware and software programs are extraordinarily sophisticated and boast incredible capabilities, they can be used by virtually anyone. This is a critical concern for businesses that need to be able to use the technology immediately and without downtime normally associated with the launch of new software or hardware programs and systems.

Currently multi-touch software can integrate with existing Windows based business systems, or industry-specific software can be installed. This includes software for the medical community, the legal profession, public safety departments, sports groups, professional services businesses and retailers. If your business does not fall into one of these categories, specialized multi-touch software can be developed to meet your specific business needs. Furthermore, technologies and applications that you see employed in other industries' software programs can be easily adapted to your own needs, so parallel industries may be a good place to look for development and implementation ideas.
