We got rid of our business desktop corded phone recently.
Now we have a USB headset and voice calls over the IM software instead!
But I have three completely separately networked environments with three machines on my desk. I may be working on one with the other two locked.
If I am lucky enough to notice I am being called, I have to switch my headset over to that machine.
This now means a phone call requires instant messaging first to make sure the hardware is in place.
And don't even get started on the accessibility advocates take.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoWell my desk phone is the old office thing I miss the least. And I was actually an accredited Avaya administrator. But I moved to mobile management as I saw the storm coming. I really don't see the need anymore for intra-office communication and the IM tool is way nicer than the Avaya softphones ever were. Funnily enough their first one was pretty lightweight and great and then they kept rebranding it and making it this bloaty, slow and ugly "One-X" thing. Also I LOVE the trend of people asking first if I'm available for a call. That's an amazing trend. I also work on multiple machines too but I'm always signed in on my phone too so if someone rings me on Teams I'll hear my mobile going off.
