If the idea of a 9 to 5 workday
spent sitting behind a desk
sounds completely foreign to
you, you’re not alone. Today’s
business professionals spend as
much time working outside of
the office as they do in it, with
mobile technology helping to
create a mobile workforce.
For many mobile businesses,
communication
technology
is their Achilles’ heel. While
employees can call in to check
voice messages left on their
office line, traditional telephony
systems canmake this a real pain.
Instead, employees are using
their personal mobile numbers
to conduct business, creating
a host of issues around privacy
and continuity of customer care,
not to mention confusion for
clients and associates trying to
track down a specific person.
Luckily, there is a business
telephony solution that not
only gets rid of these common
frustrations, but offers a more
reliable and cost-effective means
of handling all of your business’
communication needs. Cloud-
based VoIP (Voice over Internet
Protocol) phone systems give your
team access to a wide selection of
helpful features, and lets them
turn their mobile device into a
portable version of your internal
communications infrastructure.
Cloud-based VoIP gives your
team the freedom to:
•
Enjoy features like extension
dialing and direct voicemail
access from their mobile
device.
•
Use the same contact
number for phone, fax,
and text - making them
easily reachable by clients,
colleagues, and associates.
•
Access SMS, voicemail, online
faxing, audio conferencing,
and web meetings using a
mobile app.
•
Store contact information
for clients, vendors, and
associates in a cloud
directory where authorized
users can access needed
information through the app
without storing potentially
sensitive information directly
on their personal devices.
The benefits of cloud-based
VoIP aren’t limited to just your
