The 2 most popular phrases at the moment appear to be “self-isolation” and “social distancing” – so it is clear that virtual/remote working is key to limiting the spread of the virus.

These measures may well ensure your customers’ businesses remain open, and importantly assist them to show a duty of care to protect their staff in these times.

Guiding customers with solutions

No doubt your customers realize they have a problem – but that doesn’t mean they have all the answers. With the national roll out of the NBN and the fast speed experienced on mobile data networks, an Ericsson-LG Enterprise iPECS system guarantees your customers a superior fix to the problem.

 Ericsson-LG Enterprise providing out of the box solutions

Here is a list of features/benefits that I think you should be highlighting with your customers and prospects:

 

1. Mobile Extension (no internet required)

This is a great feature that presents an incoming office call to your handset/DID directly on your mobile number. No further applications are required.

Your customer’s tele-worker doesn’t even need to be at home to take calls (unless of course they’re self-isolated!)

This feature is similar to call forwarding however you can dial on your mobile during a call to:

  • Transfer the call to another extension
  • Park the call
  • Dial a paging zone
  • Transfer the call to a conference room

What else might your customers like to know?

  • These features are available with all Ericsson-LG Enterprise extensions, including iPECS Cloud
  • Tele-workers can log in or out of a queue
  • Tele-workers can be notified of voicemail messages remotely
  • Tele-workers can call their DID to make an external call. The system will recognize their mobile’s CLI and will provide a dial tone ready to make a call.
  • These mobile extension features can be turned on or off at the end of the day or shift.

 

2. iPECS UCS

Ericsson-LG Enterprise has iPECS UCS application for mobile, tablet or PC – for your customers with this requirement.

iPECS UCS allows staff that are working remotely to easily make and receive a work call on any device. Calls can be handled as if the tele-worker was at their office handset.

What else might your customers like to know?

The key highlights of iPECS UCS include:

  • Integrated presence
  • Instant messaging, SMS and Note
  • Voice and video calling
  • Voice and video conferencing
