If only Alexander Graham Bell could see us now!

On this day, 147 years ago, the very first telephone invention was patented.

Fast-forward to 2023 and we’re experiencing the seamless integration of telephony with cloud-based workforces, multiple devices, software apps and more.

Over 100 years after Bell’s invention came the mobile phone. A concept that rapidly evolved over the decade that followed. Who remembers their first flip-phone, life before touch screen and that fiddly connecting camera?

Today, we can achieve so much more than just a conversation to stay in touch. Unified Communications allows us to connect with our entire business, whatever we are doing and wherever we are. Migrating to Cloud Services provides us with the security to capture memories, share conversations, access data and update files simultaneously. We can now be virtually present in our business from just about anywhere, making the office a luxury rather than a necessity.

The adoption of the Microsoft Teams application allows for unrivalled synergy between IT and Telephony – one of the most cost-effective and time-effective movements in business. It’s also a little bit awesome having the functionality to successfully host meetings from the beach or having your dog as your full-time co-worker!

Although many of us have returned to the office, the accelerated modernisation of telephony and IT integration will outlive the pandemic. The Microsoft EcoSystem offers a robust ‘work anywhere’ set up. A set up that offers great security, scalability and ease, to keep businesses (big and small) thriving when the world isn’t.

So, wherever your office is today, make it integrated!
