VoIP Integration for Teleworkers
Extending the corporate phone system to support remote users is critical to maintaining a productive at-home workforce.

Progent can help businesses of any size to design or maintain a remote VoIP solution that provides the flexibility, transparency and security needed for at-home workers.

Progent's Cisco-certified CCIE Voice experts can provide advanced expertise to help businesses tune their existing Cisco VoIP environments to support a growing at-home workforce. Progent can also assist small businesses to expand and manage other VoIP platforms to accommodate additional teleworkers.
