With workers being spread out more far and wide, it can be a challenge to keep everyone connected without spending gobs of money. After all, the key to being a successful, spread-out organization is ensuring accountability through regular communication and check points.
That’s why Sipera Systems’s new workforce communications solution is so interesting. It combines secure VoIP, video messaging, collaboration and other unified communication features to connect workforces that are spread out geographically. The Sipera Business Continuity Communications Solution (SBCCS) is a solution that can connect to any worker in anywhere with IP network connectivity, using full encryption, access control, policy enforcement and other security.
“Disruptive events like floods, pandemics, and workplace security breaches may be relatively rare, but in a global market, the odds increase that businesses large and small will eventually be adversely affected, if only for a brief time. Over the past 24 months, we’ve been working with several major banks, hospitals and school campuses to plan ahead for potential disruptions, primarily by enabling remote and home office communications,” said Andy Asava, Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Sipera. “Our UC-Sec solutions enable and secure complete UC services at employee’s homes and remote offices, without requiring anything more than existing office VoIP phones and laptop PCs. This enables ongoing business operations outside enterprise headquarters, to remote workers wherever they might be and whenever circumstances dictate staff should not commute to their usual workplaces.”
Here’s some detes of this solution:
Simplicity and security are the two highlights of Sipera’s teleworking solutions, which require no configuration changes on IP-PBX or unified communication servers when employees are directed to work from home or other offices.
