Home-based Professional

Total Availability

You need to be permanently visible to the business and need constant access to office-based information and resources. That requires reliable network connectivity, with access to the internet, e-mail and all the resources and applications that are available back at headquarters. It also means being able to manage calls effectively, even when calls are made through multiple devices.

Simply Smarter Communications

Home-based workers therefore need tools that are straightforward to install, easy-to-use, and offer top quality phone and networking capabilities. You have to simplify call management over multiple devices and keep colleagues informed of your availability, so they can reach you more easily. You also need ergonomically designed devices that work with your desk layout and surroundings.

Smarter Environment

Your office is also your home, so you don’t want to clutter it up with bulky pieces of equipment or cabling. You also want to be able to take advantage of the fact that you are mostly telephone-based, and can have both hands free to engage in other tasks while on calls. Because you spend long hours on the phone, comfort and posture are also important.

Enabling Technologies

Home-based professionals like you rely on a number of technologies to stay connected. Typical devices include a fixed-line phone, smartphone and laptop. You may also use Microsoft Windows 7 with MSOffice and often make calls through your PC. By using a Calisto 835 multi-device speakerphone, you can unify calls from your landline, mobile and/or PC, and also show colleagues when you’re available. By adopting a wireless headset, such as Savi Office or Voyager Pro UC, you will be much more comfortable and find it easier to multi-task, improving your productivity.
