How a cloud phone system uniquely supports your mobile workforce

What's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? According to a recent study, 84% of smartphone owners check their phones as soon as the alarm clock rings. As society becomes increasingly hooked on being connected anytime and anywhere, the notion of 'work' as a place to go from 9 to 5 is changing. For many people, the work environment is now fluid— constrained only by the number of reception bars on their wireless devices. In fact, Gartner predicts that the bring your own device (BYOD) trend will result in a 200 – 300% increase in mobile workers in 2014.

As the workplace transcends the conventional borders of corporate data and telephony networks, managing business communications is becoming much more complex—especially for IT leaders. For example, BYOD offers benefits such as eliminating the need to provision a company-owned device for every employee. However, BYOD and an increasingly mobile workforce introduce a new set of challenges.
