Keeping your best people
Introducing unified communications
Skilled, expert people are the lifeblood of
every organisation but how do you keep the finest? How do you
give them the freedom to work where and how they want within your
organisation? Keeping the best is a challenge but it’s more cost
effective than finding and training new employees.
With today's networks,
you can afford to be flexible, to accommodate changing working
practices and life-style preferences and make it easy for your
experts to stay with you. Fast communications networks have shrunk
distances, making geographic location irrelevant - time and money
spent travelling to and from meetings can be avoided, while
employees can still talk face-to-face wherever they are working
from.
A single IP network can be used for all
data, video and voice needs, meaning an employee with an IP
connection has access to both voice and data applications through
their PC or a new range of advanced feature phones. Unified
communications offers incredible functionality, including sending
and receiving instant messages or data files in parallel with a
voice or video conversation, audio and video conferencing, managing
address books and checking the availability of colleagues online.
This isn't just an improvement to communications - it's a whole new
way of working. Here's some of the benefits it can bring to your
employees.
Unified communications
Many of us find ourselves having to deal
with the increasing complexity created by the sheer range of
communication methods in today's workplaces; phones, email, instant
messaging, mobile phones, voicemail and conferencing applications.
The outcome is all too often that email is sent to people that are
out of the office and inboxes are overloaded. Decision making gets
bogged down and productivity is damaged. Unified communications
solutions integrate voice and video along with collaborative
working, conferencing, messaging and mobility applications to meet
the video and communications needs of today's offices and
workplaces.
Realtime working
Business today places employees under a lot
of pressure to respond immediately to the latest text, email or
phone call. All too often the outcome is that employees get
distracted from important tasks and it becomes difficult to stick
to key priorities. Tying all these applications into a single
system (by converging voicemail and email inboxes, for instance)
makes communications easier and simpler to manage all round.
Remote working
Employees will benefit from the flexibility
of being able to work from home and other locations via secure
internet connections and other offices on the internal network.
They will be in far greater control of their time, improving their
work-life balance and productivity. Incoming phone calls can be
automatically routed, irrespective of where they are connected to
the network. By taking their laptop and soft phone with them on a
trip, they can receive incoming calls and make calls wherever they
can connect to the Internet.
