			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode15 is all about Mobility and what products are out there in the marketplace to let you run your business or practice from wherever you are, given cell access and wi-fi locations.  That can include right in an office with your smartphone as your desktop set. The phone can have all the bells and whistles that a clunky desktop phone has but even more on the smartphone device, and that device can leave with you and go where you go seamlessly.</p>
<p>We talk about IP-PBX systems, Androids,Iphones,Ipads,Blackberry&#039;s and other smartphones. We learn the functionality of a virtual system such as AltiGen&#039;s Max Mobile Server CS.  We will discus the applicability of Wi-FI and WAP in the mix and discuss Wi-LAN.</p>
<p>Given the decreasing costs of smartphones the handset price gives great value in that it can be a two way device eliminating the need for desktop handsets. Most of the smartphones allow you to use Line of Business Apps on them and with location tools built in can map routes, monitor deliveries,highlight traffic problems to enable your business to avoid wasted time and deliver higher levels of service.<br />

<p>The AltiGen max-Mobile App is available for the Android,Iphone and Blackberry smartphones now and c improves productivity through mobility. Listen in while Rob and Jeff talk aout the use and integration tools that allows a small business such as a  real estate broker or small call center have the same functionality as a Fortune 500 company.</p>
