Communication in the 21 Century

Having been in engineering for more than 22 years and a relatively new Realtor I am looking at this business a lot from the viewpoint of my other professional life.

How many brokerages have made the move to the 21 Century with their technology. I know most of you have their PDA’s and wireless Notebooks and use them quite well, but how about tying all Agents together in one PBX. Now with IP technology available in quality exceeding the traditional land lines and without the restrictions of landlines there are endless possibilities.

In my last office we were able to give every remote employee a Sip Telephone as well as Sip Soft-phone installed on their Notebook with an internal extension to our PBX. So the front desk was able to pass calls thought without having to know where each employee had their sip phone or notebook connected. This works worldwide.

If you use the free software asterisk (www.asterisknow.com) you can set up an unbelievable PBX solution connecting all your agents/offices anywhere in the world as if they were all in one office.

You can also add additional lines using sip providers like voicepulse or broadvoice saving a lot of many compared to ATT or other landline providers.

I would love to know who out there is using this kind of technology and how you feel about using it!
