Evolve IP has launched a new fixed mobile convergence solution.
Anywhere Mobile combines desk phone functionality within a personal mobile device to enable users to work from anywhere.
It uses eSIM technology, designed to streamline business communication into one personal device.
Powered by technology partner, Tango Networks, the service enables Evolve IP EMEA partners to have flexibility in device usage and encourages a bring your own device culture across a host of industries. This drives efficiencies and convenience by turning an employee’s personal mobile phone into a fully-featured business extension.
Evolve IP solutions director, Scott Rixon, said that the new solution gives a business direct control over a second line on an employee’s phone, while personal communications remain private and secure. All business communications use the existing UC platform and business number.
“This represents a major step forward and offers a host of benefits to organisations and their staff,” Rixon said. “For example, 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 is simple to use and doesn’t require any special apps, phone clients or training. It supports eSIM and physical SIMs. Businesses can also reduce administrative 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,” he said. “Routing calls correctly means having proper call treatment, fewer missed calls and ultimately higher customer satisfaction.”
Rixon said that Anywhere Mobile provides both added cost savings and convenience.
He said, “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.”
Lee Essex, SVP global sales and marketing, Tango Networks, said, "We are thrilled to partner with and support Evolve IP with their launch of Anywhere Mobile. As leaders in fixed mobile convergence, we want to work with fellow leaders in UCaaS. Evolve IP continue to show themselves as innovators in both technology and their approach to delivering customer focused outcomes. This collaboration underscores our joint commitment to delivering seamless communication solutions on a global scale.”
