How do hot-desking and other security features help with disaster recovery and business continuity?
DY: Hot-desking has a really neat effect when you talk about disaster recovery and business continuity. You can log into a phone from anywhere on the network. Let’s say an office has to close because of some kind of disaster. Flood, fire, snowstorm–pick your disaster. Employees can’t get there. But, if they’re at home and have a broadband connection and a Mitel teleworker phone, they can log in to their hot-desk extensions. Now they can have access to all of their settings and voicemail, and can be reached; business can keep on going.
