Melt Your Company Communications Policy Glacier with Teo UC

In a world full of change and rapidly evolving technology that has fundamentally changed the way we communicate in our personal lives, it’s astounding to see that the American corporate work environment has remained virtually unchanged in the last 30 years. Many of us still work 40-hour weeks at our desks, have limited mobility and are restricted to a few select communications options.

Despite the fact that social media, sending instant messages, texting and other forms of communication have become more and more present in our personal lives, phones and email still remain the most widely regarded form of communication in today’s business environment. Other forms of communication are often treated with skepticism and distrust.

As a 40-year-old telecommunications company that has continued to evolve and change over the decades, it’s been our priority to keep up with the latest communications trends. It’s clear that people’s communications habits are much more diverse than they use to be, making it difficult to operate your company with only a desk phone and email. Today’s information workers are clamoring for the ability to text, video chat, IM, or even – gasp – tweet or Facebook each other.

Automattic, the company behind Wordpress.com and several other websites, is a great example of a company that is answering employee demands and embracing new communications technologies for internal employee communications. As explained at Wordcamp Seattle 2011, employees rarely use email or phone to collaborate with each other. By embracing real-time collaboration as an integral part of its company culture, Automattic almost completely ignores geography when recruiting and retaining great employees.

While most upper management personnel cringe at the thought of this seemingly convoluted communications web, we’re here to say that it doesn’t have to be so difficult. All of these various forms of communications can be melded and integrated into your current communications structure with the help of Teo UC. Using our remarkable software-driven unified communications solution, you can have all the features that your workers are demanding without losing the ability to manage communications within your organization.

Stop getting in the way of your company’s progress. We live in a technologically driven world with endless possibilities. Free up your organization to follow this trend. With Teo as a partner, we’ll help diversify the way that you communicate.
