For today’s increasingly connected employees, work is no longer a place but is instead a fully-immersive activity. The adoption of cloud communication technologies, mobile devices, software, applications, and social media has removed the boundaries set by traditional workplaces and has instead enabled organizations and their teams to achieve greater flexibility as to how, when, and where they work.
Conference calls have become an essential part of the digital workplace. When everyone can’t be in the same room to facilitate a discussion or participate in a collaborative effort, meeting through a virtual channel is a good alternative to help bring team members, clients, and customers together. Unfortunately, some employees consider conference calls as boring and less than productive, especially when participants have unclear agendas and repetitive questions.
In today's modern business world, there are applications for everything. From email to voice calls to file sharing and even collaboration, applications are helping employees get work done smarter and faster. The explosion of mobile technologies has enabled businesses to go beyond the limited functionality of traditional landline telephones and tap into a range of apps that improve performance and productivity across all business departments. But, this exponential app growth has also given birth to another dilemma: app overload.
This Week in Telecom is a weekly news round-up on VoipReview.org that aims to give our readers a fast and easy way to catch up on the latest news and top stories that are trending in the voice and telecommunications space. Check in each and every Friday to find out more about stories you may have missed in regards to new companies, mergers, trends, and other telecom advancements.
Let’s take a look at some stories you may have missed this week:
Nowhere is change more evident in the world of business than in the communications field. Gone are the days when businesses simply relied on their landline phones and email to stay in touch with employees, clients, and customers. Today, enterprises have access to a plethora of communication tools and technologies that let them communicate and collaborate in an instant--regardless of their location or the device they use.
Digital transformation is no longer just a buzzword--it has become imperative for enterprises who desire to stay relevant and profitable in the market. Organizations are leveraging digital technologies (particularly cloud-based communications and collaboration services) to enhance customer experiences, boost business operations, and support the changing needs of a more mobile and more global workforce. Upgrading a company's communications infrastructure and achieving successful digital transformation, however, can be a complex task without the right tools and the right partners.
Agility has never been more important for organizations, especially given the changing landscape of business communications and available communication channels. Adapting to the ever-changing communications space and efficiently managing costs while monitoring customer behavior are all must-haves in order to stay competitive. But all too often, rigid and complex business processes and communication silos can reduce a company’s agility; and therefore, affect their competitiveness.
The old adage that says “a business is only as good as its people” is important to remember, especially for organizations running contact centers. Highly skilled, knowledgeable, and motivated contact center agents will definitely help a company succeed, especially given that the customer experience has become a key differentiator in today's competitive market.
Poor call quality was considered a major deterrent and hindered the rise and adoption of business Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology early on in business communications. The infrastructure and the technology in these infancy stages of VoIP had not yet been fully developed, and inevitably caused early VoIP phone systems to suffer from delays, dropped calls, noise, and echoes--issues that were (no doubt) bad for business.
Sticky notes, index cards, markers, and flip chart papers: these are some of the most common traditional tools that teams use when getting ideas off the ground, solving a problem, or discussing projects. While these materials have helped countless teams achieve their goals, in today’s digital age most (if not all) organizations need access to better, faster tools and technologies that can enable them to effectively collaborate and work creatively together.
Twilio, the leading cloud-based Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) platform for developers, continues to reinvent business communications with its two new offerings: Twilio Proxy and Twilio Functions. Announced at Twilio’s biannual SIGNAL conference, a developer conference for communications, Twilio Proxy and Twilio Functions are two key components of the company’s broader suite of services designed to enable developers to make building multi-channel communications faster and much easier.
Business agility, or the ability of an organization to spot change and quickly respond to it, is critical for companies who seek to grow and thrive in today’s constantly evolving and competitive marketplace. Becoming more agile and dynamic enables teams to work faster and better. However, agility doesn’t happen by accident. It is achieved through establishing a good company culture, implementing solid strategies, and, of course, using efficient team communication techniques and tools.
