With recent events, a lot of people are working from home for the very first time. Workers who shift from an office environment to a home set-up quickly realize that the two are not the same and that a few changes are needed to achieve the same level of success had at the office.
With an unprecedented number of businesses encouraging or mandating personnel to work from home, both business leaders and employees are suddenly faced with the challenge of operating effectively as a distributed workforce. Suddenly there are a lot of questions about what it takes to support remote employees.
Contact centers that embrace the “remote-enable” paradigm aren’t bound by geographic restrictions. Cloud contact centers can have agents not only in different rooms – but in separate buildings, cities, states, or even different countries.
Even in light of recent travel concerns, businesses have increasingly been looking for opportunities to cut down on the travel of their employees, while at the same time maintaining the level of collaboration and important sense of connectedness that face-to-face meetings can afford.

In seeking out communication tools for your company, you’ve probably come across the terms Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) and voice over internet protocol (VoIP). While VoIP has been the standard for many years, UCaaS is relatively new. So, what’s the difference?

Using VoIP instead of a traditional phone system offers wide-ranging advantages to businesses, which is why so many companies are making the switch. A 2019 Future Market Insights study projected corporate VoIP subscribers worldwide to reach 204.8 billion by 2020. The benefits of VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, go far beyond easier communication and reduced costs. They can help your company remain competitive and thrive in the digital age.
The benefits of video conferencing today are too big to ignore. The 2019 Impact of Video Report revealed that 78% of business professionals are already using video conferencing for meetings, and the market for this technology is predicted to hit $4.48 billion by 2023.
Even though many safeguards have been put in place to keep you from having to deal with email spam, robocalls are becoming more prevalent than ever; some would call it an epidemic.
