Teleworking: Bringing Your Office Everywhere You Go

teleworking

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about work, and we got to talking about teleworking.

She is able to work from home once a week with her job. However, she started talking about the process of doing that, and how she has to go through the IT department to install special software, give the system permission to work off-site, and then she has to regularly have it re-connected through the IT department; all in order for it to work smoothly and to make sure her connections are secure.

How to substitute a working PBX with a new one

pbx in panneI know of companies who sell insect screens during the winter. Sure, when demand is not urgent, one has the time to plan an investment well.

Did you ever “curse” yourself because had you decided to take measures earlier for a verification or a purchase, you would have saved a ton of money?

What is Real-Time Communication?

real-time-communicationWhat is Real-Time Communication?

Simple, one example is enough to explain.

An email is NON real-time communication, a phone call is real-time communication

By definition, real-time communication is any form of telecommunication through which all users are able to exchange information instantaneously or with negligible latency. Real-time is also synonymous with Live.

But in the Telecommunications world, what is Real-Time communication (RTC)?

By now we all use online chat or video-calling, thanks to instruments which had a very clear vision of where the future of communication was headed. (I am thinking of Skype which was created by 3 Estonian kids, Jaan Tallinn, Ahti Heinla and Priit Kasesalu, before being purchased by Microsoft).
