Chances are, you wouldn’t intentionally hand out a business card with coffee stains on it. And I would hope you wouldn’t show up to an important meeting with an un-ironed shirt.
My point? You shouldn’t show up to a client call or team meeting without enterprise-grade audio and video.
Whether you are a small business with a few employees or a large enterprise, your customers and partners expect the best of you. That means sufficiently investing in business solutions that enable you to be successful, productive and efficient.
Fair or not, appearances impact your personal brand, and that of your company. Just like you wouldn’t use a coffee-stained business card, a wrinkled shirt, old suit or scuffed shoes; today even your infrastructure, cast a poor image if it’s not solid and safeguarded.
Look, we’re all challenged by today’s ever-changing working conditions. Trying to deliver the same impactful results from our living rooms as we do from our office chairs. And that’s without the kid and pet distractions that have intercepted so many business calls this year.
Today instead of thinking about how we dress, we’re thinking more about things like enough bandwidth, eliminating background noise, good lighting, and a long list of other obstacles (like timing a call around an Amazon delivery) we never had to think about before.
Although this is acceptable during the pandemic, the world is pivoting. A higher standard of working remotely is becoming the new normal. The enterprise quality we had while sitting IN our enterprise has been substituted by “good enough to get by” while working from home. But that’s changing.
We all want the enterprise quality experience in a simple to deploy solution right at home. It’s gone from a nice to have, to a must-have in today’s telecommuting world. The office isn’t going anywhere, but it’s not going to be as frequented. We’re going more remote on the other side of this.
According to a recent Nemertes Research Enterprise Survey, it is expected that 25% to 30% of the workforce could stay remote or hybrid post-pandemic. Thankfully, there are organizations – like Clarity who have been thinking about the new mobile distributed workforce of the future. We believe work isn’t a place you go, but something you do. That means looking your best no matter where your best is at that time.
Clarity’s video, voice and texting systems deliver a clean crisp business card and a brand-new suit if you find yourself in a work from home situation. Because in many ways, these solutions will have a direct impact on the impression your business makes. And that is as valuable as a good sale.
For employees struggling to juggle home-schooling or gaining enough bandwidth from their home gamers, we have built Watchdog. It is a small simple box that when placed on your home network will serve as an internet traffic cop ensuring your business applications get the bandwidth they needs before movie or game streaming garbles up your calls whether they be video conferences or traditional. Here’s a short video to explain how Watchdog works.
