Does Coronavirus Have You Working From Home?
Many Australian businesses are gearing themselves up to move their employees to work from home due to the coronavirus outbreak.
While this does seem an awfully appealing prospect (no peak hour, no make up, use of our own bathroom & company from our four legged friends) there are certainly challenges.
One such challenge is how we stay in touch with our colleges and customers. We can't just call across the office or have a catch up perched on our workmates desk. We need to keep working, because the bills will keep coming (disappointing but there it is), so how can we keep the wheels turning?
Never before have we been so connected. Now granted, at times, we wish we weren't (weekend emails, seeing other peoples Facebook holiday posts while we are at work), but had you suggested 20 years ago you could run your whole office with any number of employees from their own homes, or from wherever they choose, it would have seemed like the stuff of fiction. But that is exactly where we are now. With VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and phone systems that are hosted in the cloud, we don't need to rely on traditional onsite phone systems.
With your PABX hosted in the cloud, you can have all your employees work from home and run your office as you would if you were all together in a brick and mortar location. That means your calls come to the reception phone as usual. The calls are transferred to the relevant employee as usual and all the usual phone system features you use can still be deployed.
Pretty great huh? What's better is that you can be up and running in around 60 minutes, with a system customised for you.
Super versatile, scalable, flexible and feature rich, now is the perfect time to upgrade your business phone system to a hosted platform.
Things are certainly a bit tricky at the moment, but I guess for me, if I can keep paying the bills, then that is a big concern off my mind. To keep you working and paying your bills, contact us to see if we can help you.
My sincerest hope is the resolution to this crisis is sooner rather than later. Until then stay well, look out for our vulnerable, enjoy Netflix and remember, this too shall pass.

The Emirati photographer, who had spent eight years studying in Australia, returned to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2013. He’d missed a real estate boom of dizzying proportions: not just new buildings, but new districts.

More than that, the buildings of his childhood were disappearing, replaced by shiny new skyscrapers.
But for AlMoosawi, these international icons were not the urban fabric of his home: it was the oft-overlooked, mid-century office towers and residential blocks squeezed between new highways and overshadowed by luxury developments that felt most familiar.
It sparked a desire to “understand the urban context of the UAE,” and AlMoosawi set out to meticulously document and capture these underappreciated buildings, “and reimagine the city as if it were the ‘80s, the time when I was born.”

Initially focusing on industrial landscapes, temporary structures and air conditioning units, he began to notice symmetry in many of the buildings he was photographing, inspiring his current project: facades.
“Facades are like a face,” said AlMoosawi. “It’s something that people connect with.”
His bold, geometric images strip away context to spotlight the character and diversity of everyday buildings. Using a telephoto lens to shoot close-ups from the ground or elevated positions, AlMoosawi carefully frames out distractions and sometimes removes minor obstructions like lampposts in post-processing.
So far, the 41-year-old, who is editor-in-chief for National Geographic AlArabiya Magazine, has photographed over 600 building?s across the UAE, and next year hopes to complete his collection in Abu Dhabi, where he lives.
In the long term, he hopes to turn the “lifetime project” into an interactive archive that both preserves urban heritage and invites viewers to rediscover their own city.
“Our cities aren’t big, in terms of scale, compared to many other cities,” said AlMoosawi. “But then they have a story to tell, they have things between the lines that we don’t see, and my quest is to see these things.”
