Working from home: cheaper and easier than you might think!
01 year ago
You may well have watched the article this morning on BBC breakfast about working from home; it is much easier nowadays, using the technology we have at our disposal, to work from home with no loss of functionality.
Working from Home
With Google Apps (a full article on this is coming soon) all of our important documents and emails are accessible from anywhere in the world without any special software. We also use some very clever (and free!) synchronisation software, which enables us to make sure that we have access to all the files we have at work when we are at home.
The icing on the cake is the remote-extension feature of our VOIP telephone system which allows me to answer the main business number from the comfort of my home office. This is much more intelligent than simple call forwarding, both the phones in the main office and my home ring at the same time and If I pick up a call intended for Mike or Richard I can seamlessly transfer the call to them, in exactly the same way as I would working in the office. Equally, my colleagues back at base can forward calls to my home.
If you are interested in learning more about any of these technologies and how they can help your business then give us a call on 01794 400 105 or email info@socross.co.uk
Telephony is changing…

& Southern Cross is here to help you to change with it
A very old telephone
The way we all communicate is evolving. We no longer use our phones just for talking – they now allow us to browse the web, check & send emails, send texts and manage our diaries. At Southern Cross we have recognised this and over the past few months we have been working hard to bring you all the very latest telephony solutions, delivered with minimum fuss to bring you maximum results. Here are just a few of the areas where we have telephony covered ……….
New and existing telephone lines
Whether you have just moved into a brand new office with no telephone lines at all, or you have been in your office for years and just want to save some money, Southern Cross can help. We can install brand new phone lines or save you money on your existing line rental and call charges. The switch-over will be seamless, so all you will notice will be far better customer service and a smaller monthly bill!
Business telephone systems
A very new iPhone4
When your business is expanding and you need to be able to transfer calls from one employee to another, regardless of their location (another town, another county, another country, another continent) or you need to add more telephone lines to support your growing enterprise, Southern Cross can help. We can supply and install a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) business telephone system to suit any budget, with the option of paying monthly.
Mobile Phones
With a complete choice of all the latest mobile phones, and the expertise to be able to recommend a phone to best suit your needs, Southern Cross is here to help. We can supply everything from a basic phone to the latest Blackberry, and anything in between! With tariffs ranging from the best value pay-as-you-go up to 1,000 minutes and texts a month – and even a tariff which includes unlimited land line calls for FREE – we have the one to suit you. And that’s not all – with our provider you can change tariff as many times as you like within the contract period!
