Virtual team communications

Forming a virtual team - having access to the best vendors and being able to reach customers irrespective of location - is one of the most cost effective practices open to the small business. Yet the ability to work successfully from geographically distant places hinges almost completely on effective communications between the parties.

The Web, email, instant messaging and fax all make for easier communications. The major issue is then the telephone system. It's critical that customers and vendors working remotely be connected through a system that's as effective as one sitting in a single physical office. Fortunately, ConnectMeVoice provides a range of tools and services designed for the needs of the virtual team.

Virtual team phone, fax and email systems

A virtual team, operating across time zones and possibly across borders, can take advantage of the following benefits from ConnectMeVoice:

No equipment needed. The ConnectMeVoice system works with any mobile, cellular or IP telephone and accepts inbound faxes that can be viewed via the Web, email or sent to a fax machine. There's no need to purchase fax machines or lines in every location you do business in.

Single phone number. Virtual teams can use a single-number dial-in, which can then be routed with extensions to any office or home. You can also have calls routed into a general call group (queue), allowing a customer to wait for the next available representative or to choose to go to voicemail.

Control your inbound calls. Our follow-me calling feature with call screening allows you to accept only those calls you really need and to send the rest to voicemail or to others in your virtual team.

Web administration. All features are administered through the Web, a key benefit for people working in a virtual team from home or on the road. With web administration, you can access your messages for free, and you can change your settings without spending money for a phone call. Naturally, web administration works just as well outside of the country as it does in the U.S.

ConnectMeVoice has the comprehensive solution to the voice, fax and email communications needs of the virtual team.
