Across the world, there are several corporations that have shifted their telephonic systems to Hosted Call Management systems and the concept of Intelligent Numbers is becoming ubiquitous. The primary reason is that a lot of expense can be saved, if the need for an office building and its associated paraphernalia can be eliminated. The second reason is that most companies are going green with this concept.
A totally green business environment is the result of using hosted call systems. Employees can not only work in the comfort of their homes with their freephone numbers, but also reduce their carbon footprints in the office by a great margin. Since employees don't have to commute to and from the office every day, money spent on fuel could be saved. Assume that a corporation has 100 employees working in a customer care centre and the average distance between the office and the residence of an employee is 10 km, imagine the fuel that can be saved and the pollution that can be averted.
Not only does it reduce fuel expenses and pollution of the environment, your automobile would be subject to far lesser wear and tear, therefore, eliminating the need for frequent servicing. It helps people start work right on time since every employee can avoid traffic and spend less time on the road driving to work.
There is another important effect - control of epidemics. Statistics have proved that over 68% of diseases spread through the workplace or educational institutions that a person visits. It doesn't really matter if you have the common cold or the swine flu because you're going to be working from home, for this prevents exposure of other employees to your disease.
Saving paper is one of the main things that most corporations concentrate on - with 0800 numbers or 0845 numbers or 0844 numbers, the fax that you receive doesn't automatically get printed out - rather it goes to your email account as a PDF document for later review. This saves a lot of paper, and in effect, a lot of trees.
Hosted telephony doesn't necessitate the need for an office building - so a lot of money can be saved from being invested in an establishment. Some companies have resorted to using part of the money for pro-environmental activities. It would be not be a weird statement to say that a company uses 0300 numbers and 0330 numbers to plant trees.
