Introducing Mobile-First Collaboration for the new hybrid world of work

By Catherine Yue

So much has changed since the pandemic and all industries have been affected in one way or another. We have all pivoted to working in new ways, connecting as efficiently as we could with the tools we had at the time.

In many cases, work today often remains a series of disconnected experiences, with employees using different systems on different devices to perform functions for their employer. And then there’s the added complexity of having a hybrid way of working - sometimes in the office, sometimes not.

In this hybrid world of work, it makes little sense to use different devices for collaboration when we’re at home, in the office or on the road.  It could all be the same device.

The mobile phone is already the primary voice and messaging device for most people – and it goes almost everywhere with us.

Now, to make it easier for our customers to move to mobile-first collaboration, Optus Enterprise, has worked with Apple to build out an elegant solution of tools you need to do business, around their latest range of iPhones, iPads and the iOS platform. We’re calling it Optus Enterprise Mobile-First Collaboration.

With Cisco Webex providing an integrated collaboration experience on your Apple device and the power of Optus 5G, a more fully configured mobile-first experience with enterprise-grade security is now a reality.

All Apple devices have powerful cameras, exceptional audio quality, screens with beautiful clarity and processing power that may be superior to desktop devices - and they are designed for multimedia. In short, the mobile isn’t just a device for chatting with colleagues or checking emails – it’s the perfect, go-anywhere collaboration tool. 

When employees do make it into the office, technology shouldn’t be disjointed and hard to interact with. With the power of Apple and Cisco, your iPhone or iPad, plus collaboration tools and applications, can become a ‘remote-control’ in your office. Employees can easily connect to and control their dedicated meeting room technology or hot-desk into their preferred office location.

Imagine the efficiencies that could be realised when you can focus less on expensive desktop systems and other fixed-location technology. Imagine the power you can put into your employees’ hands, wherever they may be working. What’s more, Optus Mobile-First Collaboration is centrally managed and packaged into a single bill from Optus Enterprise, to make life even easier for you. Imagine that!

Optus Mobile First Collaboration streamlines the collaboration experience and harnesses the potential of mobility beyond voice to enhance the productivity and flexibility of your employees.
