Aastra: Business continuity needs to include communications

09/10/2009 18:07:29

Communications need to be included in business continuity plans but companies often underestimate the importance of this, a claim suggests.

Speaking to CBR Online, Hugh Scholaert, founder and group vice-president of Aastra, says that individuals need to take advantage of the many tools available that can replicate data and that simply providing employees with laptops is not the best way to maintain unified communications.

Organisations which want to address their business continuity strategy should include unified communications platforms as not only can this allow employees to work remotely, but taking this approach may also reduce a company's carbon footprint.

"It's very difficult to create a team environment when you're working remotely and team building is at risk. But with the video conferencing technologies that are available that can be overcome," Mr Scholaert tells the online resource.

Aastra delivers business communications solutions to allow enterprises to collaborate more efficiently.

The vendor was recently chosen by Handelsbanken to deliver a voice communication platform.
