Teleworking is a growing trend in today's competitive business world - and for good reason. Research shows that teleworking can save a company close to $10,000 a year per employee in reduced absenteeism and job turnover, and an additional $3,000 a year in real-estate and operating costs. The average daily savings in commute time is 53 minutes - or close to six weeks a year! And teleworkers are typically happier, healthier and more productive than their office-bound counterparts.

The new Mitel Teleworker Solution directly addresses the needs of the growing Teleworker market. It is a simple, scalable and secure solution for remote and home-based employees. With the Teleworker Solution, teleworking is now as easy as taking home a phone and plugging it in! The Teleworker Solution is a breeze to implement using the most common residential and business broadband services.

The simplicity, scalability and encryption-based security of the Teleworker Solution make it ideal for a wide variety of users, including:

• Remote or home-based employees who require seamless access to the corporate voice network
• Business owners and managers who want the flexibility to work remotely with full access to voice mail, conferencing and other features of the office phone system
• Day-extenders - employees who regularly take work home with them or whose jobs require that they be accessible outside regular business hours
• Employees who are required to work from home temporarily because of illness, parental responsibilities, etc.
