Smart Phone and other such devices have apps that will allow you to remotely connect to your server and retrieve information. They use Remote Desktop to connect to your server or other pc.

Web-Based Services, such as LogMeIn.com™ or GoToMyPc.com™, allow you to remotely connect to your office computers from anywhere you have an internet connection, with an experience as if sitting in the office.

SLATE (iPad ) Access

As Slate computers become integrated into the computer world, New Horizons adapts as well. All slate computers allow you to purchase a remote desktop app that will connect to your office computers. The option works with Windows based slates as well as Android™ and Apple's iPad™.
