Imagine the possibility, saving $13 million a year off communications expenses is pretty significant. This case study of how Sprint Nextel reduced costs with enterprise voice by implementing Microsoft Lync displays the impact of a well planned solution.
The ongoing trend of “doing more with less” pursued by individuals and enterprises across the globe reflect the general need to go green, be more efficient and cutting costs and consumption.
The long-term environmental goals established by the wireless company as part of its corporate responsibility initiative included greenhouse gas reduction, renewable energy goals, a reduction of total energy use and the company’s mobile workforce initiative.
It’s one of those things that after you start using it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. For years I drove with the cell phone held to my ear. After all, that was the best time to squeeze in a verbal conversation; during my commute. So, when California passed the hands-free law, I was initially annoyed fearing poor sound and voice quality. But, technology has come a long way and it helps to read reviews and ratings.
I recently started using the Jabra GO 6430 blue tooth. The thought never occured to me that I could use the same blue tooth device to pair to my cell phone and my computer. I’m now able to make calls seemlessly through Microsoft Lync, Skype and my cell phone with the same hands free device. Now, I won’t make calls any other way.
Productivity and ease of use are top priority for me and my mobile schedule. I’m enjoying the innovative ways companies like Jabra and Microsoft have developed to make our work lives simpler. Such a small thing can turn into an impact so big that I wouldn’t want to live / work without these tools now that I have them.
