Business VoIP Means Greater Mobility

Mobile communications have made it a lot easier to be productive while on-the-go. The leaps and bounds made in mobile technology have given remote workers the keys to being rather successful in their jobs as if they were in a physical office with their very own desks. There isn’t much you can’t do these days while away from a traditional office and one of the main ingredients to a successful workday while working remotely is business VoIP.

Of course, working outside of any corporate headquarters is not without its challenges, which is why telecommuters should focus on a few tips to keep the momentum going.

Aside from having a dedicated workspace, like a room for your home office, it’s important to get rid of any distractions and setting hours that work for you.

It’s crucial to always be reliable and dependable as a remote worker. When colleagues don’t see you on a daily basis, they may feel uneasy about your progress on projects or your ability to meet agreed-upon deadlines. Using technology to mitigate these concerns and developing a healthy schedule will ensure that your dependability and relationship is intact. It is also important to maintain good, clear contact with whomever it is you have professional working relationships. These could be coworkers, clients, or your employer.

The aforementioned are made possible by utilizing available technology at home. VoIP technology can enhance remote worker productivity by allowing workers to control how, when and where calls are received.

Business VoIP makes call routing easy as well. Clients and customers can dial the same number they always have and get the person they are trying to reach despite their location. Calls can be forwarded to landlines or mobile phones and clients or colleagues never need to know.

In addition to home offices, VoIP is available on current smartphones and other mobile devices so that remote workers can still work while on field visits or client appointments. Mobile VoIP expands the call cost advantages of VoIP business phone systems to mobile or geographically dispersed workforces. Staff can make calls from their mobile phone as if they were sitting at their workstations, without incurring excess mobile charges.

By integrating business VoIP technology on mobile phones, staff can access VoIP features that can increase productivity including call forwarding, call recording, three way conference calling and software integration.

More companies are enabling their employees to work remotely, and the technology is here to support most job functions. Business VoIP is an integral part of the mobile and remote worker.
