Valiant IT teams have hacked their PBX systems to the straining point but still can&#8217;t find the performance they need or the flexibility and scalability they crave.<\/p>\n<p>PBX and IP PBX systems were designed to thrive in a closed-network environment. When you had one office, one PBX system, etc. you could communicate pretty well. Now, however, the modern day workforce is not a closed-network environment.

We think of it as a Dynamic Workforce.<\/p>\n<p>Companies looking for efficiencies quickly realized that nurturing the <a title=\"Dynamic Workforce\" href=\"\/blog\/2014\/12\/4-unique-needs-dynamic-workforce-friday-five\/?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dynamic Workforce<\/a> makes good business sense. A Dynamic Workforce is the infinitely adjustable combination of regional, remote, and mobile employees working alongside standard office commuters in one company.<\/p>\n<p>By adopting a Dynamic Workforce\u2014rather than sticking with the more rigid &#8216;one office, everyone onsite&#8217; work model\u2014companies could have resources in many different geographic locations and work in many different time zones all while keeping <a title=\"Low Costs For Start-Ups\" href=\"\/blog\/2012\/07\/how-cloud-tech-enables-low-costs-for-start-ups\/?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">operational costs<\/a> in check.<\/p>\n<p>The fluid nature of the Dynamic Workforce created a whole new set of business requirements for IT that did not exist even 10 years ago. Primarily, the incredible importance communications now plays in the success of the company. Before, having a Dynamic Workforce for IT in the company meant they had real estate and people spread out all over the place, but with the goal of keeping everyone connected as if they were all in the same place. This was a daunting challenge any way you looked at it.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, what IT really needed was a <a title=\"Business Communications\" href=\"\/blog\/2014\/01\/transitioning-your-business-communications-to-the-cloud\/?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">modern communications solution<\/a> for their modern workforce challenge. Enterprise IT teams now recognize that the Dynamic Workforce is a major organizational model that&#8217;s here to stay. They are ready to adapt to its fluid nature. IT teams like yours are earnestly re-evaluating communications priorities and looking at <a title=\"cloud phone system\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/how-it-works.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cloud phone systems<\/a> as a viable solution.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud <a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/solutions\/small-business.html\">business phone systems<\/a> are ideal for meeting the unique needs of a Dynamic Workforce far beyond just today.
