Voice IT Policies
Within the current regulatory environment, organizations may need to log and audit calls, as well as provide authentication and security for phone system users. Unifying users’ mobile and desk phone communications through BlackBerry MVS offers this layer of usability and control by applying IT policies that automatically direct all mobile calls (inbound and outbound) through the corporate telephone system. Administrators can apply IT policies to regulate incoming and outgoing calls, implement security measures, and audit telephony activities. Using a corporate phone number, calls can be logged and audited to help organizations comply with legislative requirements and to strengthen risk management policies.
