Snow showers ahead – is your business prepared for disaster recovery?

Top tools for flexible working:

With snow showers due, the last thing a business needs this New Year is the chaos that the frozen forecast entails. At Callmaster Mobile, we’ve invested in technology that allows us to work wherever and whenever we want to – even when faced with a snowfall.

Our tools of choice

Vodafone One Net

Ideal for small to medium-sized businesses, Vodafone One Net Business is a cloud-based service that seamlessly integrates your landlines, mobiles, desktop and tablet connectivity, into a single system. This means you can connect with customers, prospects and colleagues at any moment, through any device.

Even though landlines and mobiles are combined, just one number will appear to customers. Ensuring you can take or make calls from any phone – irrelevant or whether you’re snowed in at home, off-site or made it to the office.

One Net also offers the ability to share a single voicemail box for all your numbers, ensuring any messages can be retrieved and acted on by anyone in your company, so a customer call is never truly missed.

With built-in disaster recovery, we highly recommend One Net as both a reliable and intelligent solution for your business. To find out more about One Net please visit: https://business-onenet.co.uk/ or take advantage of our free in-house One Net demonstrations.

VoIP

Thanks to bigger and better data capabilities, businesses can take advantage of VoIP aka the “Voice Over Internet Protocol”. This flexible phone system allows you to make calls over your internet connection.

Incoming phone calls are routed to your VOIP phone where-ever you plug it into the network so you can unplug your desk-phone from the office, plug it in at home and work as normal – providing complete flexibility.

Better yet if the snow strikes, you can record a message remotely to inform customers that although the office may be closed, business is still open as usual.

Office 365

Microsoft Office 365 is the cost-effective smart solution to cloud computing. Office 365 ensures emails, calendar and contacts are automatically updated across your PC’s and Smartphones so you can access customer details and schedule that prospect meeting whether at home or in the office.

Better yet, Office 365 Web Apps are companions to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote so vital business applications and documents can be accessed, viewed and/or edited directly from a web browser.

If the snow hits, you can hold your sales and support meetings via Skye (the conferencing and instant messaging part of Office 365), and share your sales forecast in Excel on everyone’s device of choice at the same time and any member of your team can edit it accordingly.
