Until 2020, remote working was a rare accommodation, usually only made to meet very specific needs. The outbreak of COVID-19 made teleconferencing and telework technology a vital solution to help many businesses survive. Now, more and more businesses are taking advantage of the full value remote work technologies can offer. Many companies are even proposing remote work as a long-term option to their entire staff. TELECO has emerged as the market leader in helping organizations set up remote working solutions for their employees.
As the world begins to re-open from the vast shutdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic, remote working is seen as a major trend. According to a survey from U.S.-based Enterprise Technology Research (ETR), the percentage of employees worldwide who are working from home is expected to double in 2021 as remote productivity has allowed businesses to thrive during the coronavirus pandemic.
In the US alone, 25-30% of the workforce will be working from home multiple days a week by the end of the current year. With this change comes the need for business owners to continue implementing the right technologies for their business, making sure operations run smoothly on and off-site. When the pandemic first hit, TELECO quickly implemented the technologies needed to make sure its employees were able to work remotely utilizing the latest remote work tools that keep the team connected seamlessly across any location.
And by any location, we really mean ‘ANY’ location. This was recently demonstrated by Florencia Hernandez, VP of Marketing at TELECO. After a whole year without being able to visit her family in Buenos Aires, Argentina due to the current pandemic, Florencia was finally able to fly in December 2020.
She stayed in Argentina for almost a month, where she took her business laptop and gave her native city a “try” to see how working remotely would work being so far away. It was a total success!! All technologies used performed without any interruption. Working from a foreign country really put the remote work tools to the test. The remote work tools Florencia used while in Buenos Aires included:
- Video meetings via both laptop and mobile device: 100% browser-based, so she could join anytime, anywhere without having to download any software.
- Desktop as a service (DaaS): She was able to access any document stored in the cloud, from anywhere, at any time.
- Microsoft Teams: A tool that allowed her to not only interact with TELECO team members but also bring external participants to join Team meetings when necessary.
- Mobile softphone and desktop softphone: Made her computer a fully featured phone at all times.
- Call forwarding: A feature that routed her incoming calls to her cell phone and softphones.
The combination of these technologies resulted in a successful workflow throughout the month she was working remotely. In one of her Teams meetings, her boss made the joke:
“Flor, your internet works better out of the country than when you’re just a few minutes from the office!”
TELECO’s more confident than ever that wherever its customers are in the world, TELECO has them covered! The company has also partnered with Star2Star to offer many business solutions to assist with remote work tools such as:
