When you are in business, having up-to-date technology can make a major difference in day-to-day business operations. It can assist with maintaining productivity as well as streamlining communication and other essential aspects of conducting business.
Video Surveillance Can Increase Productivity
Have you considered having closed circuit video surveillance systems installed in your office or retail establishment? According to the United States Chamber of Commerce, the cost to employers due to employee theft ranges between $20-to-$40 billion on an annual basis.
Theft, losses, and productivity have been eliminated up to 80% when these surveillance cameras with remote access are utilized.
Internet Telephony Can Increase Productivity
The use of Internet telephony has also been shown to increase productivity. A Sage Research study found that the hourly increase of employee productivity due to Internet telephony was approximately 3.9 hours a week.
Video Conferencing and Voice Over IP Can Increase Productivity
In the United States, there are an average of 11 million meetings every day. Many of these meetings are conducted through video conferencing and voice over IP (VoIP) services.
This technology, which is used by both small office and home office subscribers, has been gaining in popularity. The industry itself is experiencing considerable growth. Between 2011-to-2015, for example, there was a 50% increase in subscribers.
When your office handles sensitive material, having reliable encryption is essential. There are two VoIP protocols that support encryption for different types of web-based video conferencing situations. Both of these protocols were designed to be able to support multimedia video conferencing:
- Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
- H.323
Since more and more businesses are using mobile platforms, mobile VoIP is also available. It is estimated that by 2018, there will be approximately one billion individuals utilizing this option.
Have you decided to search for security solutions, such as closed circuit video surveillance systems? Or perhaps you are looking for communication solutions, such as encrypted VoIP protocols for video-conferencing? Both of these technologies can assist with improving your business’ overall productivity.
VoIP technology not only enables phone systems to be flexible, it also makes them portable and practical. Since there are approximately 64 million people whose jobs require some telework, this VoIP technology can provide a workable and convenient solution.
