Being Connected Wherever You Go In Indiana Or Around The World!

There was a time before the advancement of technology when your cell phone was similar to your home phone, mainly for just getting calls. Well, all that changed with the newest phones having the addition of cameras, email, and web browsing on the internet, and even though Bill has owned Taylored Systems, a telecommunication company, and enjoyed the benefits of the newest technology innovations, he still was using a traditional cell phone along with a device to get emails away from the office, and didn’t think he was missing anything while his sales personnel and management team were using the new Blackberry.

Progress arrived, and Bill embraced the new era of the Blackberry. After several weeks he stated it made his life easier. He has one voice mailbox for all his messages, whether you call his direct number, Taylored Systems main office number and are transferred to his voicemail , or you call his cell phone, all go to the same voice mailbox on our Toshiba phone system in the office. Through the unified messaging if you leave a voice mail our Toshiba system automatically sends that voice mail as a .wav file to email which can be retrieved the same as his other e-mails on his Blackberry, and in most cases it shows Bill the phone number so he knows who sent it. He can select it, and hear the voice mail wherever he is either through a headset, or by holding his Blackberry to his ear. This is an improvement over having to call back into the office to retrieve his voice mail, and listen to it. Bill also found that he could send the voice mail traditionally to someone else, or as an email.

As Bill continued to experiment with his new techno toy, he discovered that someone could fax something to him and it comes in as a .tiff file which he can open and read, and then forward on to someone else. Bill says that this Blackberry is now his office wherever he may go during the day or night, and because it is connected to our Toshiba system he has only one voice mailbox. Now when he is at home, at work, or driving the tractor at his farm in North Central Indiana, he can still have full office capabilities in the palm of his hand. While most had already gone the route of the Blackberry, Bill had been staying away from that technology, but now feels it’s the greatest advancement since it connects him through his office phone system. With the wonders of our modern technology, I along with Bill can only guess what new innovations his cell phone will be capable of in the future.
