The office life has changed a lot since the beginning of the 21st century. Nowadays, technologies have taken over a large part of the work that people have to do, inside their walls. Some of them are more important than others, though. Here are four that no company should live without.
A VoIP Phone System
If a company wants to communicate with its clients, it needs to install a centralized phone system. The old ones were complicated and costly. The more phone lines you had, the higher the monthly bill got. Today, VoIP phone systems have replaced the traditional ones, bringing in an era of simplicity, at a much lower cost. Moreover, the system is software-based, so it can be connected to other software and applications, in order to raise the level of efficiency inside the company. This is the one technology that no company can live without, in 2023.
Some AI Tools
If a company wants to be at the top of its game, it needs to be using some AI tools that are now available on the market. The strength of AI is that it can analyze data as they come in and adapt the way the instrument in question is being used immediately, in order to maximize its benefits to the company. For example, if you attach an AI tool to the VoIP phone system, you will be able to increase the quality of customer service greatly, simply by understanding what works well versus what does not. The only way to get to these conclusions is through AI, as no humans could have the time or the necessary memory, in order to accumulate all the data coming in, before analyzing them and get to conclusions.
Cybersecurity
When you have a group of employees working on the same network, and accessing company servers, your number one priority becomes cybersecurity. Since it is almost impossible to control every action that they will take in a day, in regards to which sites they surf on, and which e-mails they open (and they shouldn't), a company needs to equip itself with the very latest tools, in the field of cybersecurity. If it doesn't, it may come at the cost of having all its information hijacked by ransomware, which could either be costly if the company decides to pay, or deadly in the case of the only other choice available.
5G Smartphones
It is official: It is now time to move on to smartphones that can connect to the Wi-Fi network using the 5G. The difference of speed between the 4G and this new version is simply unbelievable. One has to know that it was developed in order to enable the connection of large objects to the Cloud, in order to render them autonomous. Therefore, it had to be all powerful, which it definitely is. So, if you are planning to make gifts to your employees, in 2023, think about renewing their smartphones to new models that can attach themselves to the 5G, wherever they go.
