Evolve IP’s Anywhere Mobile
Evolve IP is putting the power of a desk phone into the hands of mobile users with its launch of a new Fixed Mobile Convergence [FMC] mobile solution, combining desk phone functionality within a personal mobile device, to further accelerate its ‘work from anywhere’ strategy. Using eSIM technology, Evolve IP has announced Anywhere Mobile, designed to streamline business communication into one personal device in a ‘best of both worlds’ scenario. Powered by technology partner Tango Networks, the service enables Evolve IP EMEA partners to have flexibility in device usage and encourages a BYOD (bring your own device) culture by turning any employee’s personal mobile phone into a fully-featured business extension. Evolve IP Solutions Director, Scott Rixon, says this enables a business direct control over a second line on an employee’s phone whilst personal communications remain private and secure, all whilst using the existing UC platform and business number. “It allows employees to use the mobile phones they like and are familiar with. It’s about working smarter and more effectively in an increasingly mobile-driven
world. As it’s a full extension the presence of a user is visible, and the calls can be recorded and fully reported with reports and on dashboards. This should be thought of as just another way to take a call, supporting all our platform features.” Anywhere Mobile requires no special apps, phone clients or training. It supports eSIM and physical SIMs. Furthermore, a business could reduce overheads by eliminating personal phone expenses, according to Rixon. “They can prevent employees from making business calls with personal numbers and retain business contacts when employees leave. Routing calls correctly means having proper call treatment, fewer missed calls and ultimately higher customer satisfaction.” Rixon concluded: “This is another innovative addition to our Anywhere UCaaS Solutions. Anywhere Mobile is the latest UC solution we are excited to be offering to partners across EMEA after seeing a clear demand and understanding that mobile services should sit within the essential part of any UC offering. Empowering teams to have the tools that allow them to work anywhere.” Resellers can register to attend a webinar on 7 August by clicking here .
