Now that Broadband into the home (and just about everywhere) is the norm, businesses of any size have a real opportunity to improve productivity and make significant cost savings by deploying remote workers. These can be employees that are based permanently at home, work partly at home and partly from the office (or work partly from a residence abroad), or they could be 'road warriors' that work from hotels and wifi hotspots anywhere around the country. Our Remote Worker Solution extends your network to virtually any location and provides transparent, highly secure access to your corporate voice and data services. It provides the user with a phone that can be plugged into any broadband router (or it can connect to a wireless router with some extra hardware) anywhere where there is broadband access.

In addition, you can plug your PC into this phone, which will ensure a secure connection is maintained between your PC at the remote location and your corporate network. This solution is dead simple to deploy - a truly plug and work solution.

With Home Working becoming more and more commonplace, most IP (internet protocol) Communications Platforms offer remote working in some form. However before investing your money make sure you understand that all solutions are not equal, and the most expensive does not necessarily provide the best voice quality either!

The most common way to achieve remote working used by suppliers utilises a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. Some of the major players adopting this method include Cisco, Nortel, Avaya and Alcatel.

Whilst this technology does work, it also has a number of downfalls which are unlikely to be highlighted by the supplier, and will not be obvious to you until you begin using the technology for remote working.

To avoid providing a solution that suffers from the issues outlined above, Boucon has chosen the Mitel 3300 as its recommended remote and home working solution. The Mitel 3300 uses Secure RTP rather than a VPN enabling its remote and home working solution to offer the following benefits over many of its major competitors:

In summary our solution is easier to implement, provides greater security and flexibility and costs less per user to implement than all the major competitors.

During the consultation a specialist will explain the various solutions available and the differences and pitfalls to avoid when implementing remote working. Once we understand your requirements you will receive a proposal detailing our recommended solution.
