Business Never Takes a Vacation, Even When You Do

Sponsored Content provided by Joey Stone - General Manager and Vice President , Teleco

Summer is vacation season, a time for professionals who worked long and hard through a cold winter and rainy spring to take a little time away from the bustling business world. 

Although a vacation’s primary purpose is to leave stress at home, everybody in the business world understands that sometimes work-related issues arise that simply can’t wait. That’s why Star2Star created StarPhone for iPhone – a fully baked mobile softphone client – exactly for this kind of urgent business. 

StarPhone puts all the power and functionality of Star2Star’s unparalleled cloud-based unified communications system into users’ iPhones, allowing employees to place and receive calls from their mobile phone using the Star2Star system. 

With StarPhone, users on iPhones are recognized by the system as standard extensions. Using a directory, employees can make intra-office calls just as they would with traditional PBX. This makes employees eminently more reachable as the caller does not need the mobile number of the colleague they are trying to contact. 

Additionally, outbound calls travel over the IP data network and are not billed as cellular calls. This technology allows companies to drastically cut mobile communications costs.

The solution also comes equipped with a full suite of business features. For example, a presence indicator lets employees know who on the system is available at any given moment and who is busy. Or employees can use Find Me/Follow Me call routing to automatically send calls to a mobile phone after a pre-determined number of rings … whether they are sitting on a beach sipping a drink with an umbrella, hitting the golf course or on safari.
