Making the Best of a Difficult Situation with Remote Work Tools from TELECO

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, we are seeing more and more businesses 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.

THE CHALLENGE 

As the world begins to re-open from the vast shutdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic, we continue to see remote working 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 offsite.

THE APPROACH

When the pandemic first hit, TELECO quickly implemented the technologies needed to make sure OUR employees were able to work remotely utilizing the latest remote work tools that keep the team connected seamlessly across any location. And when we say “ANY” location, we mean it!

This was recently demonstrated by Florencia Hernandez, VP of Marketing at TELECO.

THE OUTCOME 

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.

Making The Best Of A Difficult Situation With Remote Work Tools From Teleco

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 anytime.
  • 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 which 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!”. We are more confident than ever that wherever you are in the world, TELECO has you covered!
