IP OFFICE USER PRODUCTIVITY PROFILES

KEEP ALL YOUR ASSOCIATES PRODUCTIVE, EFFICIENT AND CONNECTED

Every worker has unique communications needs that are mainly driven by where and how they work. Office workers are primarily at their desks. Mobile associates need to connect wherever they happen to be. Remote workers want to collaborate with the same capabilities they would have in a company office. IP Office User Productivity Solutions – the Basic User, Office Worker and Power User applications – can quickly and easily deliver the right level of communications capabilities to every associate in your organisation.
