Fibre broadband is faster than copper broadband but is that the only benefit for your customers?

Access to hosted apps - work remotely as if in the office

Remote workers upgrading to fibre broadband can access useful business applications hosted in the cloud, such as Microsoft Office 365, JolaPhone cloud voice and Xero online accountancy packages. The benefit here is that they can work from home as if they were in the office, making and receiving calls and accessing, editing and saving corporate documents. Team members in the office can even see if their colleagues working from home are online or on the phone before making contact.

HD quality calls

Companies upgrading to fibre broadband as part of a move from traditional to hosted telephony can get quotes as low as £29 per month for FTTC. By switching to hosted telephony you can hear the difference in call quality. Those in areas with patchy mobile coverage and availability of fibre broadband are benefitting most.

HD video conferencing and webinars

For small businesses setting up, it is often costly to meet with clients and contacts up and down the country and abroad. With good fibre broadband and the right video conferencing applications you can have face-to- face meetings without leaving your desk. This has really taken off in the recruitment industry where potential candidates can be interviewed remotely and potential employers updated on the screening process. There is an array of voice conferencing applications available for webinars where screens can be shared and remote presentations conducted. This is particularly popular in the training industry. Large corporates are also getting involved with video training as it is such as flexible way to train staff without the cost of hosting multiple training sessions.

Multiple devices

Whether your customer has fibre broadband, an Ethernet circuit or relies on a 4G mobile connection to the internet, cloud applications downloaded to multiple devices are helping employees to move from the office to meetings and home without ever really leaving the office. Emails are being replied to, documents shared and desk extensions answered from mobiles, tablets and laptops.
