Mobility and Employees

When you deploy VoIP for more than just cost savings you get something else - flexibility. This means many things, such as flexibility in location, flexibility in device, and even flexibility in communication method; between text, video, and phone. For example, think about installing a VoIP application on a smartphone, so that when using the Internet, your company’s phone network can be accessed by using the employee’s username and password. Now employees can check in with the office to see who is online, who is on the phone, whether there are any missed calls or awaiting messages. Most importantly, your mobile phone can now reach and be reached by the company’s network because of the communication applications. Once you have access to the network, you can look up co-workers in the directory and ring them right from your mobile. Since you’re calling from the company’s VoIP solution, the recipient’s caller ID will show your desk phone extension, not your mobile phone number. As such, wherever you are, callers just need to use one number to reach you.
