Every office has its champions. Some employees are star performers, others are team players, and a few are... let's just say, "coasting." But did you know your office tech tools fall into the same categories?
If the workplace was hosting its very own Office Olympics, which technology would win gold, and which tools would struggle to even qualify? Today, we're ranking the contenders (phones, email, video conferencing, collaboration platforms, and cybersecurity) and showing how TotalBC helps your business build a winning tech stack that stands on the podium every time.
Event 1: VoIP Phones -- The Communication Sprinter
Phones have come a long way since the days of tangled cords and clunky desk sets. In today's office, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones are the star sprinters, fast, reliable, and always ready to move information across the finish line.
With features like voicemail-to-email, mobile integration, and crystal-clear calls, VoIP phones are the gold medalists of direct communication. But only when they're managed properly. Without expert setup and support, VoIP can turn into a false start with dropped calls and poor connections.
How TotalBC Helps:
TotalBC's CallNet VoIP services ensure your business communication is seamless, scalable, and supported. We help you ditch outdated systems and keep your team connected from anywhere, whether they're in the office or working remotely.
Verdict: Gold medalist for quick and effective communication.
Event 2: Email -- The Endurance Athlete
Email is the marathon runner of the office. It's not flashy, but it keeps going, day after day, mile after mile. Whether it's client updates, project approvals, or quick notes, email remains essential.
But like a marathoner hitting the wall, email can get bogged down by spam, phishing attempts, and overflowing inboxes. Without security and filtering, it's an easy target for cybercriminals.
How TotalBC Helps:
We integrate secure email management and cybersecurity protections that keep your inbox safe from scams and overload. Plus, with Microsoft 365 management, TotalBC ensures your email tools are optimized, collaborative, and always up to speed.
Verdict: Silver medalist for consistency and reliability, with the right training.
Event 3: Microsoft Teams -- The All-Around Champion
If the Office Olympics had a decathlon, Microsoft Teams would be the competitor to watch. From video meetings to instant chat to file collaboration, Teams brings multiple events into one platform. It's the ultimate team player.
The problem? Without proper training and integration, Teams can feel overwhelming. Too many channels, endless notifications, and confusion over document versions can make it more of a hurdle than a help.
How TotalBC Helps:
Our M365 SaaS management ensures Teams works for you, not against you. We train your staff, configure the platform for your workflows, and provide ongoing support so your employees can collaborate without stress.
Verdict: Bronze medalist, with the potential to win gold when properly coached.
Bonus Event: Cybersecurity -- The Unsung Hero
Every Olympics has an event that doesn't always get the spotlight but is absolutely critical. In the Office Olympics, that's cybersecurity.
Think of cybersecurity as the world-class coach who ensures every athlete is prepared, protected, and ready to compete. Without strong defenses, your office tech tools don't stand a chance against the competition (hackers, ransomware, and data breaches).
How TotalBC Helps:
With managed IT services, phishing awareness training, and layered security solutions, TotalBC keeps your business safe from cyber threats that could sabotage your performance.
Verdict: Security doesn't just win gold, it protects the entire team.
