TT-Office Offers Virtual Numbers

NORTH YORKSHIRE, U.K. -- TT-Office, the provider of packaged quality solutions to businesses, based on TeleWare plc applications and THUS plc next-generation network solutions, today announced packaged voice solutions for flexible working.

TT-Office provides a ‘virtual’ number that enables calls to be delivered, instantly, to any phone, over any network, worldwide. The number will operate as a normal business number, delivering calls directly to the office and can be ‘pulled’ to an alternative location, including home and mobile phones, when required. All the features associated with a business telephone system can be retained, including information about who is calling, the ability to hold and transfer and the ability to record calls or use instant conferencing when needed.

Flexible working programmes are increasing. The UK now has 3.1 million home workers plus 8 million additional employees who regularly work from home 1 or 2 days of the week.* This trend looks set to continue, driven by legislative changes, corporate social responsibility, staff welfare and an organisational desire for increased performance alongside cost reductions. Flexible working, whether home, office or mobile based, offers challenges to the business to support the users’ voice requirements.

“Legislative compliance has been a key driver of the increase in flexible working,” explained Steve Haworth, CEO of TeleWare plc. Aside from compliance, there are key performance related drivers that are motivating businesses towards delivering effective flexible working programmes. Opportunities for greater cost effectiveness and efficiency, such as savings on overheads when employees work from home or less downtime for machinery when shifts are implemented, plus a reduction in wasted commuting time, result in improved competitiveness through being able to react effectively to changing market conditions,” added Haworth.
