Making the most out of remote working | Armstrong Communications ...

It does not surprise us at Armstrong Communications that so many businesses choose to employ staff who work remotely, as there are so many benefits to doing so. Sometimes remote working is absolutely essential for the job ? such as for travelling salesmen and engineers ? but often a company makes a choice to create cross-branch teams or put a project in the hands of a homeworker, because there is very little stopping them from doing so anymore.

Some of the advantages of working with others from a remote location is that it reduces the cost of office space and travel, and allows the very best staff across the country ? or even internationally ? to collaborate on projects, rather than being limited by the geographical distribution of talent.

The technology available to achieve an ideal working environment for remote workers has been around for years, and comes on in leaps and bounds all the time. In fact, there is very little now that a remote worker cannot do that an office-bound employee can.

Take the ShoreTel Communicator for example. Let?s say you have five top-notch employee located in disparate locations and you want to bring their talents together to work on a brand new project. With the use of the ShoreTel Communicator, these workers do not have to leave their desk to speak with each other and share files live. The technology allows for video conferencing, instant messaging, phone calls and VoIP, and file sharing from a whole host of different devices, so colleagues can speak face to face and refer to the same document, even if they are hundreds of miles apart.

So what if your colleague is not at their desk today? No problem. A quick instant message or invite to a video conference can be sent directly to their mobile and you can have a video chat and share files just as easily as if they were sitting by a computer.

The team behind the ShoreTel Communicator have worked hard to break down all the boundaries stopping remote employees from being able to effectively communicate with each other. But now that teams can collaborate as if they were in the same room, so employers and their staff gain all the benefits of working remotely without the cons.

With technological improvements, increasing requests for flexible working as people?s family lives change, and ? for many companies ? a global workforce, remote working is the future and we believe the demand for solutions like the ShoreTel Communicator is just going to grow and grow. In fact, with our years of expertise as a ShoreTel reseller, engineering service and support provider, we are seeing a rise in the number of people coming to us to get ahead of the game now and give themselves an edge over their competitors.
