Gosport, Hampshire (PRWEB) August 15, 2009
Companies are using web-based business continuity telecoms from Commsready as back-up in case staff are quarantined by swine flu.
With 140,000 new cases reported across England in just two weeks, businesses are using Commsready’s technology to set up emergency call diversion systems.
The pre-prepared call diversions can then be activated at the click of a mouse when needed.
It means that staff quarantined at home because of swine flu can continue working. Calls to their office numbers can be seamlessly re-directed to them.
Commsready’s latest inbound telephony solutions are web-based so firms do not have to spend the huge amounts of time and money that were traditionally needed for business continuity telecoms.
The new technology means it is no longer time-consuming or expensive to plan ahead in the face of impending threats to business continuity.
It is being seen as particularly effective to counter the impact of rapidly changing threats such as swine flu.
The Health Protection Agency estimated there were 30,000 new cases of swine flu in England in one week with 110,000 new cases the week before. There have been tens of millions of calls to the UK Pandemic Flu hotline.
A spokesperson for Hampshire-based Commsready: “The rate of infection seems to be slowing but with 140,000 new cases of swine flu in two weeks there is no room for complacency.
“With the economy already in a difficult state, don’t let swine flu be the final straw that breaks your company – not when today’s business continuity telecoms solutions are so cheap, quick and easy.”
Earlier this month Business Link emailed companies, urging them “to ensure they have effective contingencies in place.”
