ABSTRACT
The process of design and creating software products is shifting day by day to mobile devices. But what happens when the user must perform complex tasks with mobile applications, such as managing a small or medium business. Is it really usable and efficient a mobile application to manage a company? In this paper we conducted a study to measure the efficiency and perceived usability of a desktop application, facing the results to those obtained in a study of the tablet version of the same application. This way, we have obtained an efficiency ratio of a desktop application regarding to its respective tablet version, which may be relevant for the development of future mobile or desktop applications.
