O-bit Face the Fear of Snow Head On!

As the past month has proven, adverse weather conditions only bring upset and headaches for anyone foolishly trying to get work done!

A few inches of snow leads to a half empty office and consequent reduction in output for businesses. In fact, the Forum of Private Business has said that the cold snap potentially caused businesses to lose up to £230m from people failing to make it into work and the important calls that were lost.

Even though the thought of snow had many businesses sweating, O-bit faced this new challenge head on. At their Loudwater office, they used their own technology to allow staff to efficiently work from home – meaning nothing hampered O-bit’s performance throughout a very tough January.

The recent cold weather saw a 20% rise in interest for unified communications amongst small and medium sized companies – and O-bit can vouch for this as they’ve seen firsthand the interest that has been generated for non-geographical numbers and call redirect technology.

O-bit can deliver ANY call on ANY number to ANY destination – a small investment that means businesses keep going whilst their competitors are still struggling.

More companies are realising the value of real-time communication tools, which allow bosses to see where staff are and to contact them in the most time-effective way. Hosted IP telephony works from any location where there’s an internet connection, meaning an entire office’s staff can work from home and still have the same telephone functionality as if in the office.

Make sure next time your company isn’t left in the cold and act now!
