- Slide Objective: To highlight a few key business trends and challenges which are driving the requirements for teleworking Today, the face and nature of the traditional office work place is changing with increasing requirements for employee mobility and work location flexibility. To ensure enhanced productivity, companies are leveraging their investments in a Mitel IP-PBX by extending unified communications capabilities over the Internet to remote or home workers via IP phones, soft phones and WiFi/dual-mode phones. However, opening up the company’s internal network to allow employees to connect from anywhere, any time (from hotspots, hotels and home offices) raises a host of security concerns. For example; Internet based threats which may put the company network, services, and confidential data at risk; Privacy of confidential communication sent over the Internet; Ensuring strong access control by authenticating both phones and remote employees. One of the biggest challenges in running over the internet communications, aside from security, is dealing with internet “network: issues such as Home NAT traversal, internet packet loss and jitter – all of which can impact voice quality To ensure the deployment of secure internal and external workspaces, the Mitel Border Gateway provides comprehensive threat protection, strict access control, and privacy in a single server appliance. This solution securely enables remote employees to work and collaborate productively by having a complete in-office communications experience without being physically in the office.
- Slide Objective: Highlight the benefits of Teleworking to a Small Business Trends: A recent Citrix Online report on “the World Wide Workplace” cited a forecast from Forrester Research that by 2016 a third of the U.S. workforce will work from alternate locations some of the time. Nearly 75 percent of workers participating in the Citrix survey, and more than 50 percent of owners, said they wanted the ability to work remotely, though most added they didn’t have it. About 20 percent of employees would take a 5 percent pay cut for the right to telework sometimes. Small businesses “aren’t interested in soft benefits.” They want to know about bottom-line impacts. Bottom-line Benefits Cost Reduction According to a recent survey (Avaya, 2009) companies who have employees who telework say it mitigates employee absenteeism, reducing cost per lost day from $2,000 to $1,000 on average. This is because workers can stay home and get some work done – and don’t infect others. TelCoa (non-profit that promotes the idea of telework) estimates, based on meta-research and surveying done by TelCoa, that telework can save companies $20,000 a year per employee on average. Savings on real estate and related costs. TelCoa estimates savings at $8,000 to $10,000 per employee per year. Increased productivity . TelCoa estimates productivity increases of 20 to 22 percent, but one American Express study pegged it at 45%. Workers reinvest time saved on commuting. An AT&T study showed teleworkers work one hour longer a day on average. They’re also more amenable to working flexible hours which makes it easier to schedule and easier for companies to be responsive to customers. Reduced employee churn . The theory, borne out by studies, according to Telcoa, is that teleworking employees are more satisfied so less likely to resign. TelCoa estimates costs to replace an employee at a minimum of 50 percent of annual salary. If telework saves having to rehire two $30,000 positions a year, that’s a saving of $30,000, he notes. The Intangibles Many businesses pursue telework because they want to be able to attract the best people at the best rate, regardless of location. You can do that if you’re able to accommodate remote teleworking employees. Business continuity If you have a telework capability, you can send employees home to work in the event of disaster – however major or minor. Wilsker says the American Red Cross found that 40 percent of small businesses that shut down for two weeks or longer because of a disaster never reopened.

- Slide Objective : Highlight the key new functionality provided by the Mitel Border Gateway’s Teleworker Service Mitel Teleworker Service lays the foundation for a plug-and-work solution that extends the corporate network to virtually any location. It provides employees with seamless access to the voice and data capabilities of the office – regardless of whether they’re working from home, at a client site or when they’re mobile. It allows remote and mobile users to directly connect to the office and make and receive calls like they were there … using a wide range of standard Mitel IP Phones, Mitel’s Unified Communicator Advanced Softphone, and even a broad range of SIP endpoints. Mitel Teleworker also extends corporate network access to those using mobile devices or smartphones with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. This enables mobile users to make use of VoIP over Wi-Fi when they find themselves in a Wi-Fi hotspot location. Teleworker is easy to set up and configure – there is no installation required, no training needed, employees are up and running immediately, and there is zero learning curve. Teleworker is highly-scalable – it’s suitable for small, medium and large-sized business and can manage from 5 to 5,000 users And it’s secure – the RTP provides security and privacy, it works with existing firewalls, and a VPN concentrator is included within the solution. This means remote and mobile workers can connect to the corporate network and seamlessly access the voice and data capabilities of the office using only a broadband Internet connection – a VPN connection does not need to be established. Mitel Teleworker can be configured to use a local analog line for emergency calls. So, when a user is working in a different city or a different state and need to make a 911 call … they can be confident knowing that the 911 call will be directed over the local analog line and . This ensures they’re connected to a local-area 911 operator, and not one in the city that their business extension and area code is associated to.

The MBG server will support up to 20IP phones behind a saingle NAT router. Note media streaming is local point to point. Call signaling still goes via the 3300
- MedQuist Inc. is a leading provider of medical transcription software technology and services which enable health systems, hospitals and group medical practices throughout the United States to efficiently manage clinical documentation workflow from voice capture through coding. They’re headquartered in Mount Laurel, N.J. and employ 7,500 people of which approximately 6,000 are skilled medical transcriptionists - making them the largest employer of domestic medical transcriptionists in the world. Until 2006, more than a third of the 1,500 corporate staff worked at one of 130 MedQuist offices throughout the United States. The increasing costs of leasing all of this real estate was forcing MedQuist to re-think the way it served clients. At this point in time, only 60 of their knowledge workers worked from home … and it was recommended by the organization’s IT group to consider expanding this capability to a broader cross-section of employees. Company management approved this approach, and in turn selected Mitel. They installed eight Mitel 3300 IP Communications Platforms with automatic call distribution. MedQuist also added Mitel Enterprise Manager and Mitel Unified Communicator Advanced, a unified communications client that integrates presence, secure instant messaging, audio conferencing, and video and data collaboration with the call control capabilities of the 3300 ICPs. When used in conjunction with Mitel Teleworker, MedQuist was able to transform the ‘traditional office’ and provide remote workers with seamless access to the corporate communications network. This being said, MedQuist was able to close 110 offices of their 130 offices, which drastically reduced their real estate and overhead costs. By enabling employees to work in their own environments with the tools to perform their jobs, MedQuist’s was able to increase employee satisfaction and morale, all while retaining highly valued staff. Today MedQuist have about 1,100 people working from home using the Mitel Teleworker Solution – and they’re adding more every day.
