After years of triumph in the consumer marketplace, tech giants Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Google Inc. are boosting efforts to court the business sector.

Bloomberg reported that Apple, which expects business clients to account for at least 15 percent of Apple's profits by 2016, is upgrading its iOS operating system with management tools.
