Home Working

Work is no longer a place you go, but something you do. Home working is certainly not a new concept, but many companies are not making the most of what is available.   Information and communications technology have provided the means for millions of people to work remotely, yet many businesses are hampered by an outdated communication infrastructure.

Home working may not suit every business, but for many, it makes clear economic sense, not just in terms of reducing office space and reducing working hours spent commuting, but also to provide a back-up plan for disaster recovery such as adverse weather or a flu outbreak.  With recent legislation making it possible for millions of workers to now request to work from home, businesses need to be prepared to provide this as an option for their employees.

In technology terms, traditional concerns about home workers have included the danger that the user doesn't have the same access to IT and communications systems that they are used to and whether the company comes across as being less professional.

This no longer needs to be the case.  8el’s CallPort hosted telephony platform provides the employee with the ability to use one single number, regardless of location. 

With a complete package of Internet connectivity, DSL connection and phone, 8el can provide your business with a cost effective, efficient solution.
