20. More devices, more applications and more ways
to communicate are actually making it harder for
people to work together. Just consider all the
time wasted trying to get hold of people. The
missed calls. Telephone tag. Overflowing in-
boxes. Overlooked messages. Making us less
productive, not more.

22. As businesses are under more pressure to support
flexible working practices, there are concerns about
the cost, security and productivity implications of
doing so. But on
the other hand, with the right approach it’s critical to
attracting, retaining and getting the best from your
talent. The challenge is how best to enable flexible
working, making it work for you and your people.

26. Firms tell us they’re often having to contend with
an array of bills and contracts from different
vendors – along with unpredictable telephony
costs. And that’s just the costs they can see.
They also suffer high overheads by running
ageing systems – that are onerous to manage
and maintain. If replacing or upgrading systems
involves more capex, more are opting to struggle
on and sweat their assets than invest in new.
Challenge #4

full visibility of all communication costs on a single,

capital outlay – and no need for expensive
maintenance and management costs. What’s
more, it’s what Vodafone One Net Enterprise

by freeing your people to work productively
together away from the office.

performing. So you can embrace the next big
thing without the need to rip and replace. So you

33. Situation:
Your PBX is coming to End-of-Life
or End-of-Contract
It’s reliable. It does what it does. So sweating it seems like the best option?
But there are risks. Like the fact that the maintenance costs may be rising.
Replacement parts are becoming harder to come by. You’re reliant on specialists to
manage and maintain it. And then where would it leave you if it were to give up
the ghost?
But then there’s the issue that it just isn’t fit for purpose anymore, especially as your
business is more mobile than ever. Calls between fixed and mobile are likely to be
rocketing.
Communicating in other ways means buying more services from different vendors,
more costs and complexity. Making communication harder for employees – not easier.
34. Opportunity:
Reap cost, flexibility and productivity benefits
– while migrating at a pace that suits your business
More than simply replacing your PBX, with Vodafone One Net Enterprise you’re
also benefiting from a platform that integrates your fixed and mobile
communications to deliver more: more choice in how your users communicate,
more flexibility in how and where they can work, and more control over your
communication costs.
As a cloud-based service, there’s minimal capital outlay required. You can slash
your calling costs with free on-net calls – while benefiting from predictable per
user pricing.
You can also migrate at a pace that suits your business. So if there are assets you
want to sweat further, you can continue to run these alongside One Net
Enterprise. We’ll give you all the support you need to target your deployment to
maximise the benefits, while minimising the risks.
36. Situation:
You’re opening or have acquired new premises
or plan to refurbish an existing site
Perhaps you’re planning an office move? Extending your branch network?
Or are going through an M&A which means you’re going to be landed with
more premises to support and manage?
There are some big calls you need to make about your communications
infrastructure. Ripping out your current PBX set-up and taking it with you
to new premises can be risky, costly and disruptive. Deploying new equipment
on new premises requires a big capital outlay and resource intensive
implementation. Inheriting yet more systems and contracts through an acquisition
means more complexity, more costs and integration issues.
Then there’s the question of how to plan for future growth?
What’s the best way forward?
37. Opportunity:
Be integrated from the word go with a flexible,
cloud-based platform
As a cloud-based platform, Vodafone One Net Enterprise means you can enable new
premises with a robust, virtual communications environment without the cost or
disruption of deploying a PBX. Rather than running multiple phone systems across
different locations, you can migrate services and sites standardising on a single, unified
platform that can readily scale as your business grows.
Not only will it enable you to simplify management and significantly reduce costs – it
means you can deliver an altogether better and consistent communications experience
to all of your employees, wherever they’re based.
So they not only feel like one company but can act as one company – effortlessly
communicating and working together, without having to navigate different tools,
systems and directories. In addition, you can bring new users and offices online rapidly
so you’re ready wherever and whenever your business needs to grow next.
39. Situation:
Your fixed telephony, mobile telephony
or video services contract is up for renewal
So it’s that time again to review and renew the contract. Your service provider
is offering you a few sweeteners to sign on the dotted line. It’s easy and less
disruptive to stay with them. But perhaps you have a niggling doubt that there
may be a better option out there.
The challenge isn’t just about getting the best value deal – it’s about what’s
right for your business now and in the near but unforeseeable future. What you
don’t need are more headaches further down the line. Nor to rack up lots more
costs when your business has new requirements. Nor find yourself bound to
technology that’s soon to be out-of-date and no longer fit for purpose.
40. Opportunity:
Bring together your fixed, mobile and communication
services
into a single platform and contract
Your business users are more mobile than ever. Yet you still need fixed-lines. Chances
are it makes the utmost sense for you that your mobile and fixed telephony talks and
works together. So why doesn’t it?
Vodafone One Net Enterprise gives you the ability to integrate fixed and mobile
services in a single cloud-based platform – allowing your users to communicate the
way they prefer. They benefit from one identity and number that follows them
everywhere. Where your people can be reached by calling a number not a device.
Where they can communicate in the way they prefer. Where colleagues can see who’s
available and get hold of them without playing telephone tag.
So you don’t have to deal with multiple contracts and services. And you don’t need to
put up with runaway communication costs. Instead, you benefit from a single
predictable bill and zero cost on-net calls between mobiles and landlines. All with the
flexibility to add new users and services as your business requirements change.
41. Scenario 4:
A new flexible working policy –
How to change the way your
people work for the better?
42. Situation:
Your business wants to enable its employees
to work more flexibly
Employees are increasingly looking to employers for greater flexibility in when
and where they work. Talent is gravitating to employers who are happy to
embrace new ways of working and give their employees more freedom to
balance their busy work and personal lives, without the everyday commute.
However, enabling flexible working requires more than the right policies to be a
success for employer and employee alike – it demands the right tools. It’s
about ensuring people can work just as effectively and with their colleagues
wherever they are. Also, as GDPR regulations come into force, the question of
how sensitive company data is being managed and protected is also at the
fore. So how can you make flexible working work
for your business?
43. Opportunity:
Empower your employees to work securely
and effectively wherever they are
Vodafone One Net Enterprise is a unified communications platform that’s
designed
to break the barriers that hinder how and where work gets done.
Your people gain access to a single, secure digital workplace that’s available
everywhere they go. They can use the devices they prefer, communicating
using a broad range of channels – voice, video or chat.
Using Presence, colleagues can see when they’re available and contact
them in the right way. Multiple employees can create, share and collaborate
on documents in real-time without ever being in the same room.
Vodafone One Net Enterprise makes communicating and working together
easy – while ensuring your data stays safe in the cloud.
45. Situation:
Your organisation is struggling to meet
customer demands
As customers, we’ve all become more demanding than ever. Our expectations
have been redefined by the likes of Amazon, Uber and John Lewis who have
set the bar high. It means we expect more of the companies that serve us –
a faster response, a better answer and a feeling our custom is valued. If we
don’t get it, we’re more likely to not only to go elsewhere, but head online and
share our poor service experience with others.
However, despite investing in new web and mobile experiences to meet
new customer needs, many firms are struggling to satisfy the heightened
expectations and increasing demands of their customers. Ageing phone
systems and the disparate array of communication channels being used
by organisations can make the right person or department harder to reach –
so people get passed from pillar to post. They can also struggle to cope
with the sheer volume of calls at busy times.
46. Opportunity:
Deliver an altogether better and more responsive
customer experience
Vodafone One Net Enterprise is designed to both make your business easier to
engage and make it easier for your people to respond to your customers.
It can be used to give your customers more choice in the way they interact with
people across your business – from phone to video calling and web chat. The
platform allows you to readily set policies to route inbound calls and messages to
available staff avoiding customers being left waiting. Should one member of staff
be unable to help, they can also collaborate with colleagues in an instant to get
to the answer.
Vodafone One Net Enterprise also enables rich functionality making it a
compelling solution for your Contact Centre – with the option to integrate your
CRM or other sales intelligence software, helping your agents rapidly identify
callers and best serve their needs.
