This document discusses the environmental impact of providing employees with separate work and personal mobile phones. It notes that around 30% of adults carry two phones, which is expensive for organizations and bad for the environment due to the resources required to produce the phones. The document recommends using a single smartphone for both work and personal use through a solution called smartnumbers mobile, which allows for separate work and personal phone numbers on one device. This reduces waste and costs while providing the benefits of separate work and personal lines on a single phone.
BT smartnumbers for relationship managementmParticle
油
BT smartnumbers is a virtual phone number service that allows financial institutions to enhance customer service for high-income clients. It virtualizes mobile and landline numbers so that calls are routed according to defined rules to ensure the client's needs are met. This includes routing calls to the relationship manager's current location, notifying staff of missed calls via SMS, and overflowing calls to support teams if unanswered. The service provides a single point of contact for clients, allows "VIP" clients to receive elevated service, and gives staff tools to track and improve the client experience.
Smartnumbers mobile plus enables regulated firms to affordably record calls made on mobile phones, bringing them into compliance with regulations. Previously, recording mobile calls was prohibitively expensive, so staff would return to the office to record transactions instead of breaking the rules. The service is affordable even for small organizations, is easy to implement on any mobile network, and can route calls to landlines or VoIP services when abroad to always record mobile calls and avoid roaming charges.
