The New York Times also reported a movement in that direction, noting a 79% increase in the telecommuting workforce from 2005 to 2012.
While this rapidly changing environment comes with its own challenges and potential headaches, there’s a simple solution that can keep your business ahead of the curve: a cloud-based VoIP phone system. Cloud-based solutions allow employees to access any application, file, network, or communication service from anywhere. All they need is a secure Internet connection.
Businesses that wait to make the switch from traditional, on-site phone systems will face increasing threats to connectivity as well as employee and customer satisfaction alike. As the workforce becomes more remote, these challenges will present themselves sooner than later:
Cloud-based solutions improve the speed and capabilities of each of your remote employees—whether they’re in Denver, Salt Lake City, or New Mexico—making your company more scalable, flexible, and reliable.
