How to use technology to benefit your business
Work more efficiently. Do more with less. Take productivity to the next level.
Cisco Small Business Solutions can help your teams be more productive through better collaboration. Here's how: 
- Don't just tell; show. When unveiling a new product to a remote sales team, turn a regular call into a video call for maximum impact.
- Easily bring people together to solve problems. Need to call an urgent meeting? With just a few clicks, quickly find out who's available and set up conference calls or online meetings. Access customer information wherever you are, so you can easily work with colleagues to resolve issues quickly.
- Stay connected to mobile workers. With multiple channels of communication always available-and the ability to see who is available and how to contact them-being out of the office no longer means being out of the loop.
How does it work?
With Cisco Small Business Solutions, you can quickly bring people together to solve problems and meet customers' needs.
Get everyone on the same page-and keep them there. When workers stay connected, they stay productive.
- Start with a reliable, flexible, secure Cisco network foundation combining voice, data, video, and wireless on one network so everyone can roam about, stay connected, and be productive.
- Add software that links your customer relationship management database to your phone system. That way, computer screen pop-ups let you instantly view data about each customer. Instantly find out if someone is available to answer a question or attend a last-minute meeting.
- Add video telephony software and cameras, allowing you to turn regular phone calls and online meetings into video calls along with phones that are designed to keep mobile workers in touch and give them anytime anywhere access.
- Add applications that deliver call control and presence features-enable workers to know if colleagues are available and how they prefer to be reached and use toolbars within common applications like Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer to enhance productivity.
