Learn tips to make remote working more efficient with cloud-based collaboration and communication solutions.

In what has felt like an instant, the world has changed. 现在我们正在应对一场全球性的卫生流行病.

An illness so terrible that most countries have asked their citizens to work from home, stay at home and even maintain social (physical) distance from others. 然而，企业仍然需要运营.

We can’t put everything on hold until the epidemic ends. If business is to continue, people need to change the way they communicate and collaborate.  People must transform themselves and use collaboration tools that enable them to communicate, 远程管理项目, 进行虚拟会议. 这也包括我.

After over 10 days of confinement and remote working, my current use of remote tools has increased by 500 percent. 我主持视频会议. I make phone calls. 我和同事分享信息. 我做这一切都很安全.

The following are tips from my experience using a collaboration solution from ALE.

阿尔卡特朗讯企业协作解决方案

在家工作时，我主要使用 阿尔卡特-朗讯彩虹™协作解决方案. It supports many capabilities, but I’ve found the following to be the most helpful in my work.

Rainbow Bubbles

A Rainbow feature I like a lot is the ability to notify key stakeholders before the meeting itself using the same tool. No need to use different tools like email to share information. 通过制造一个气泡, you can distribute information to those who will be in the meeting while still sharing your screen. In addition, you can do follow-up actions after the calls and share updated documents with the stakeholders in the same bubble.

Conference calls

I recommend  launching the conference a few minutes before the meeting start time. 在尝试了不同的东西之后, I realized the most efficient option is to start video calls a few minutes early. The meeting starts on time and it gives everyone a chance to be ready with their headsets, sound, and camera. The impressive thing about Rainbow is that we can chat even when the conference has not started yet, 只是为了检查或提醒其他队友做好准备.

视频通话vs音频通话

不是每次通话都需要视频. 有些电话如果只有音频的话效率会更高, with simple statements and fewer group interactions. 视频通话效果更好, offering a more personal touch and a sometimes much needed “human” interaction. ALE Rainbow允许这两种功能.

什么是最好的生产力工具?

Without hesitation, the most productive Rainbow tool is screen sharing. It helps with assessing the presentation and content as well as updating online tools with the team.

For example, you can view team members’ sales forecasts from their shared screen while they explain the information.  For some meetings, the remote screen sharing offers better productivity than if everyone was in the same physical meeting room.

投资合适的设备

For the best experience you need to acquire a very good web camera and an HD microphone. These are a one-time investment that can greatly improve the quality and productivity of your calls. The clarity will make your calls seem like you’re in the same room.

Security

Many times, especially now that so many are working remotely from home, you will hear about an online collaboration meeting being interfered with due to a lack of security in the solution.

我们生活在网络攻击的时代. 保护公司信息和数据至关重要. You need to select the right collaboration tools that enable you to communicate and collaborate as well as protect your communications and data.

为什么选择阿尔卡特朗讯企业版?

Besides the features described above, Rainbow is a fail-safe environment for customer data. 它已通过ISO-27001认证，并符合GDPR标准, meaning that it upholds the strictest and highest standards in cloud security and management. Your information is protected as if you were working from your office.

阿尔卡特-朗讯彩虹’s Enterprise license is now being offered for free for 3 months to support local businesses affected by the impact of COVID-19. 了解更多有关ALE如何帮助您的信息 business continuity during a crisis.
