We just made a monumental leap in the millennium with our new office phone system. I think we went from 1970 to 2015 in terms of what it looks like and what it does. First of all kudos to our IT guy for spending the time to find this new system and get it for me allowing me to be more productive. You rock!
There are a lot of new features, but these are the 5 that I love the most!
1. Tells you when I am out of the office and lets you know what to do and who to call for immediate assistance. I now have four (4) out of office options to choose from. I'm putting in the office and can't catch the phone right now; I'm not even in my office today; I'm not going to be in the office this week; I'm gonna be out of the office for an extended period of time so leave me a voice mail.
2. Tells me on my computer screen who is calling and from where and what number. So if you're a sales person trying to pedal your wares to me or something, can we say voice mail! If your a constant complainer church member (not that we have any like that), can we say voice mail! If you have already called me once that day, can we say voice mail!
3. The new phone is completely hands free operating through my computer like Outlook. All I have to use is my mouse or keypad. Its just another icon on the menu bar at the bottom of the screen so I can answer your call, and then click back over the tab I was on when you called. No problem!
4. If you leave a voice mail, I get a notice via email and can listen to the message wherever I may be, in or out of the office. I find this feature greatly useful, not having to be in the office to conduct my business.
5. Last but not least I have a contacts list on the screen that all I have to do is click with my mouse and it rings that person instantly. No strenuous dialing or pressing those heavy phone buttons. My fatigue level has gone way down with this new phone.
There you have it! This new phone system is going to revolutionize the way I work. I want to say thanks again to our IT guy for installing this new system thus giving me so many new features.
Leave me a voice mail, Luijarick
