Today's businesses use a mix of different channels for communicating between employees and customers. With the transition to telecommuting and working from home for part of the workforce, it is no longer feasible to only use fixed lines for voice communications. As a result, most organisations are also using mobile devices, alongside VoIP lines and their computers to make calls. As a result, businesses that record all calls between their teams and customers must also consider adding mobile devices to the recording solution.

Despite this, voice calls are still the most popular form of enterprise communication – but, how businesses use voice has changed dramatically. The rise of mobile phones has altered the landscape beyond recognition. Of course, many still retain and use bulky desk phones, but mobile has rapidly become the preferred device for many.
