Fonality just released PBXtra 4.0, the latest version of its workplace phone system and it’s got some very cool new features. Among them is FindMe with Boomerang Mobile Integration.
Say what?
FindMe with Boomerang Mobile Integration is a sophisticated call-forwarding system that can automatically detect whether to send calls to a desk extension or a mobile phone by monitoring mouse clicks and keystrokes.
According to Fonality:
The new FindMe capability in PBXtra 4.0 ups the ante in the Find-Me-Follow-Me feature wars. Not only does it allow employees to decide when and how they will be found according to their personal schedule and rules, but FindMe also has built-in presence detection. The system observes a person’s keyboard and mouse activity and can route calls to their mobile phone or other number when they are inactive on their computer.
Boomerang Mobile Integration deepens Fonality’s commitment toward unifying the PC, the desk phone and the mobile phone. It allows calls sent to mobile phones to be boomeranged back to any extension by pressing a few keys on the mobile phone. Boomeranged calls can also be recorded from a mobile phone and automatically stored on the PBXtra server.
Other features integrate the PBXtra with mobile phones and web browsers and ease phone system management. For instance, FONcall is a PBXtra plug-in for Firefox, which allows for one-click dialing.
Back to the FindMe . . . I could see its benefits: never having to miss a call while leaving your desk for a minute, not being chained to one spot for hours waiting for that important call . . . but there is a downside too. Does anyone really need to be that accessible?
