Back from an uneasy break?04 January 2006
We don't need to tell you that being in charge of your own business is a 24/7 job requiring you to be constantly on call. Taking holidays isn't easy, but these BT products may help. They're aimed at helping small business owners take the pain out of going on holiday.
BT answering services
BT has a range of call answering services including call minder, which allows you to personalise your greetings and allows you to listen to your messages from any phone you happen to be using.
BT's Remote Access Pack
BT's Remote Access Pack can allow you to access your desktop PC from anywhere you want, letting you to view files, networks, applications and email.
It could be an ideal way to keep up to date with work whilst at home packing for your summer holidays. No need to hang around in the office until midnight when you've got a plane to catch.
Conference calls
So, you need a break from the office and have a hundred and one other things to do at home. But, as the boss of the business you have to be present at a highly important meeting at midday. Do you waste the whole day at the office?
With BT's variety of conference call facilities you can attend key meetings as well fit in all your other duties at the office and at home.
For instance, BT MobileMeetMe, allows up to 20 people to ring into a telephone conference from their mobiles. It can also be instantly activated - you just need to send one text to set up the conference call.
It can help you improve your time management and allow you to escape your office and occasionally see daylight!
PDAs
If you must be in constant access of your office and your clients - your very own office in your pocket or PDA might be an answer for you.
BT offers an extensive range of PDAs offering everything you need to organise your business life, including email, an organiser, messaging service, web access and Bluetooth technology. And for stressed-out business owners, it could allow you to escape the office early, yet still be contactable while enjoy a little relaxation at your own home.
