[Green Thursdays] Technology in the Workplace

We all try to be more green at home. We recycle our goods, we buy sustainable products, the list goes on. However, at work, we rarely engage in the same practices. We don't use reusable mugs when we go to Starbucks, we waste so much paper on memos, faxes and reports. And all of these practices can also drain our wallet.

However, I was recently reading about SIP trunking, which is a pretty interesting change in communication. Using a third-person party, like Nextiva, individuals and businesses can streamline communication and reduce their carbon footprint.

SIP trunking layers multiple applications and connects different devices seamlessly. Using one “number,” all messages can be routed to the preferred device – your personal computer, home phone, mobile, etc. Calls can be routed, recorded, and prioritized. In addition, voice calls and messages can be translated into text automatically, and so can the reverse. SIP trunking integrates communication so that you and your business can receive simultaneous messages without blinking an eye.

SIP trunking is changing the way businesses communicate internally and between each other. It enhances productivity, enhances communication, and integrates all types of communication, including voice, video chatting, instant messaging, voice calls, texting and email. And it reduces the business' carbon footprint and help the environment – sounds pretty legit to me.
