The business world has witnessed a significant shift in recent years. This revolution is changing the way employees use the telephone and how companies do business.
It’s likely that you have heard of it. This is called Internet telephony. Experts agree that it has rendered office PBX systems obsolete and increased employee productivity. It allows a mobile workforce to remain connected to their business lines regardless of where they are working or using what device.
This is the new technology that makes the phone system digital. It takes advantage of the internet and any other phone or computer connected to it.
This is the goal Switcha San Francisco-based communications company is pushing the cloud-based business phone concept further by developing a system that can be integrated into Google Apps and, more recently, Microsoft Office 365.
“Work is a thing you do, not a place you go,”Craig Walker, Switch Communications CEO. “We understand the value of mobility and giving people control over the tools they need to be productive, and Switch is designed with them in mind.”
Office 365 users can benefit from this new feature by Switch that integrates with Outlook email, Outlook calendar, LinkedIn and other services. Log in using your Microsoft credentials to sync Outlook contacts, integrate email and calendar so users can instantly see the latest shared emails and appointments during a Switch call.
For any business, ease of administration is crucial. Switch’s interface makes it simple to sign up. It uses dropdown menus that allow you to set up a virtual receptionist to work for your business, create custom greetings and add department lines.
“Regardless of productivity suite, platform or size — your business can be an enterprise or a three-person shop — with Switch your phone system and your experience is and should be the same: easy-to-use, scalable and with the flexibility of a true cloud service.”
For companies of any size, the cost per employee is just $15 per calendar month.
“Switch makes sense for anyone who realizes their business phone system that serves a desk is broken,”Walker
