From SOHOs to large enterprises Small and Home Offices (SOHOs) such as consultant offices or private practices, and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) such as medical practices, financial services and law firms, are prime examples of businesses that can reap the benefits of wireless working. With research showing that 6 in 10 SMEs now prefer hybrid working to the traditional working week, businesses must ensure that their equipment aligns with the needs and expectations of their employees. The needs of hybrid and remote workers certainly vary, but an IP telephony option that allows flexibility and enhanced employee mobility through flexibly deployable phones can really make the difference in small and home office spaces. The Snom M100 SC DECT is perfect for these kinds of working environments. The base station can be used for stationary and cloud-based telephony, enabling small and home offices to benefit from a professional and flexible solution which supports eight SIP identities, six simultaneous calls and up to ten Snom M10 SC DECT-over-IP phones. A highlight of the Snom M100 SC for SMEs is its ability to connect to the telephony system in the parent company via VPN. Not only does this increase the security of telephone calls, it also provides the user with all the functions of the company headquarters (shared address book and much more). For larger enterprises, such as those in the manufacturing industry or the public sector, a big benefit of adopting new IP technologies is how scalable they are. Businesses can connect their teams irrespective of their location in one central, manageable communication hub. In addition to this, they simply add or remove users from the system whenever suits them – allowing their office equipment to grow simultaneously with their business. Another key benefit for larger enterprises is that internal calls are free – and as we see more and more employees moving away from their traditional desks, communicating efficiently whilst on the go is a great luxury that new IP technologies can grant businesses. The Snom M900 DECT Multicell Base Station is also a great solution for many large enterprises. The integrated DECT manager, housing state-of-theart technology, can enable individual installations comprising up to 1,000 base stations and up to 4,000 handsets. Thanks to the M900 base station, device maintenance can also be carried out easily and efficiently. Each base station can wirelessly send software updates to connected handsets, greatly reducing the workload for the IT department – and subsequently maximising business efficiency. Large offices which have no fixed workspace and rely on hot desking benefit the most from this kind of solution, as well as from Snom’s WiFi desk phone, the D865.
