Mobilising your workforce, increasing productivity and lowering costs
Today’s work environment is dramatically different to what it was 10 years ago. The concept of most employees driving into work, conducting business in the office then driving home is no longer relevant to the majority of businesses. Instead organisations demand their employees to be just as productive and responsive out of the office as they are sat at their desk. Employees require access to their critical data applications, the ability to collaborate with colleagues, partners and customers.
Intrinsic Technology can mobilise your workforce delivering convenience delivering a number of benefits including:
- Improved customer interactions: customers only require a single number to contact employees whether those workers are roaming the office or campus, working from a virtual office or working in a hotel room or onsite at a customer’s location
- Increased productivity: mobile workers are reachable and available anywhere, anytime and conversely can reach others – enabling them and the entire organisation to be more efficient and productive
- Reduced costs: mobility helps workers achieve cost savings in a variety of ways such as the ability to place lower cost IP calls and to minimise use of the public cellular network
Intrinsic’s mobility solutions fall in 4 categories:
Teleworker
Since teleworkers work from a fixed, remote location e.g. home or a customer site, Intrinsic has a variety of remote working solutions that extend the office environment to other locations. Data, applications, network connections and voice services are all made available to employees remotely whether to extend the working day or simply to work away from the office.
Campus bound
The employee on campus typically remains within the boundaries of the organisation but needs to move freely within its confines whilst still having access to communications. Nurses and retail staff are two examples of such workers. Intrinsic is able to help businesses maintain agility and create new ways of doing business through unifying the wireless and wired networks to provide a secure, scalable and management platform for delivering mobility.
On the Road
Field based workers are almost always out of the office and need a flexible solution which will enable them to recreate their office resources at home or other internet-connected locations using a laptop or other network-accessible device. Intrinsic has a number of solutions that ensure workers on the road retain the level of access required to do their jobs and can securely access data applications remotely including email, instant messaging, client server applications, file servers, databases and intranet services. Solutions can encompass voice mail and employee office phone extensions directly to the employee’s PC or an IP phone.
Hot Desker
Working within the enterprise but with no desk to call their own, the hotdesker will claim any available free space and will change locations as projects and other factors dictate. Intrinsic has deployed hot desk solutions for a number of clients. Generally employees will find a desk and log on to the phone system. The phone at that desk will automatically reflect the user’s preferences and phone number. This can be implemented across multiple sites, even overseas.
