Enterprise Communications Featured Article

In the age of mobility, enterprise communications have taken on a whole new flavor. Executives no longer need to be chained to a desk phone, and large PBX (News - Alert) systems with unified communications no longer need to claim the majority of the budget. Companies today have more choices than they do the devices, opening up a whole new world of staying connected.

Today, managers can practice a concept known as MBWA, or management-by-walking-around. Forget the paper reports and static dashboards; these innovative thinkers are on the floor, getting their hands dirty and working side-by-side with the very people focused on advancing the company’s success. To help in the process, AudioCodes (News - Alert), a Tadiran Telecom technology partner, is offering one-stop shopping for such solutions.

By adding unified communications capabilities to their mobile devices, employees can leverage optimal enterprise communications regardless of their location. AudioCodes delivers this access through its MobilityPLUS, a solution that includes real-time presence, VoIP connectivity and instant messaging, all through a mobile client designed to be both intuitive and user-friendly.

MobilityPLUS allows employees to turn their smartphones into an extension of the unified communications or PBX system as it connects directly. This not only provides users with greater access to features and functionality, it also reduces the communications charges associated with cellular calls and streamlines mobile collaboration between employees.

In addition, the solution reduces roaming charges and also enables high quality mobile VoIP and SIP calls, single number enterprise DID, secure VoIP/SIP connectivity, simultaneous ring, comprehensive mobile client management and is scalable for the enterprise.

For those companies wanting to branch out into offering hosted enterprise communications for the end user, AudioCodes also offers its MobilityPLUS as an option that can be privately branded. With an enterprise service-oriented architecture, the enterprise can benefit from the Mobile UC as a service, easy integration with current PBX deployments, security, full IT control and management and enhanced productivity.

That often means leaning on new innovations and solutions that tie together current assets with new offerings. When partners are well suited to support this environment, everyone wins. The latest offering from AudioCodes keeps the focus on the end user and the technology needed to make the most of new trends and traditional demands.
