TalkTalk Business has added a multi-platform mobile application to its Hosted Voice product in preparation for a near tipping point in workplace mobility.
The company cited a report by The Work Foundation which says that within three years 70% of people will work away from the office just as much as they work at their desk.
In preparation for this future working environment TalkTalk Business has introduced MiCollab, a UC application based on Mitel technology that enables users to access the same functionality from a PC, laptop, desk phone or smartphone.
An optional Skype for Business plugin means that TalkTalk Business partners can more easily provide enterprise-class voice within the Skype for Business platform.
Workers can download the app directly from the Android, iOS, BlackBerry and Windows application stores.
Guy Miller, Director of Trading at TalkTalk Business, commented: "Businesses have long been looking for ways to improve their productivity while also providing much more flexibility for their increasingly mobile workforce.
"More and more firms are finding that for their employees work is an activity rather than a place to be. They expect to be able to work from any location with the same level of access and connectivity as if they were in the office.
"With the introduction of the Unified Communication feature set to our Hosted Voice platform, TalkTalk Business is allowing Partners to cater for evolving working practices while also providing telephony which is secure and reliable."
TalkTalk Business is a Mitel Platinum partner.
