Should telecommuting be considered more than just an employee perk? One author thinks that it should be considered a fundamental business strategy. Telecommuting has been shown to increase productivity, encourage city revitalization (workers no longer have to leave rural areas to find high-paying jobs), and reduce pollution caused by traffic congestion.
Simplified communication tools make telecommuting easier now than ever before. High-speed Internet services allow secure and speedy connections from remote locations to the main office. Advanced phone systems provide the ability to work from any location and have all of the tools of an office at your fingertips.

In spite of all of your advanced communication devices, do you find yourself spending too much of your time managing tools rather than communicating with people?
I confess that I get caught in this technology trap from time to time, like when I spend 15 minutes communicating in email what could have been handled in a two minute phone call. But since I have started using the technology supplied by SDN, my life has been simplified.
For example, I give out only my desk phone number, and calls are delivered to my office and mobile phone, which allows me to answer calls without being tied to my desk. Additionally, all voicemails are delivered to my desk phone, but I don’t have to call in to check for messages—it all gets delivered to my Blackberry as a .WAV file. Further simplification comes from our corporate Instant Messaging that enables communication with SDN employees in real time while observing their automatically-updated availability as ‘in a meeting’, ‘on the phone’, ‘away’, and more.
SDN specializes in integrating these various technologies. For more on how to make your communications devices work for you, and not vice versa, contact SDN. Click here to see more on our website.
