Orange has launched its Flexible Workforce ‘pay as you consume’
call plan for small- and medium-sized business customers.
Orange said Flexible Workforce provides SMEs with more adaptable
tariff options, to cover contract employees, conduct business at
temporary fixed off-site locations, address unpredictable/low
mobility requirements or deliver access to shared resources.
Martin Lyne, director of SME business at Orange UK, said, "No
one needs to be told of the detrimental effects the recession is
having on business in the UK at present. We need to ensure we
provide flexibility in our plans to help support SMEs' changing
communications needs.
"As the only operator to provide such an alternative we feel
confident that Flexible Workforce will assist SME’s to better
weather these economic conditions."
Available to existing business customers who already have two or
more contract subscribers, Flexible Workforce has been designed to
address the following concerns of businesses:
- Provide flexibility around fluctuations in workforce
numbers/locations for seasonal/project based businesses
- Tackle unpredictable future requirements - so no monthly
line-rental contract is required and therefore minimal commitment
needed. This will give customers greater control over their costs
which will be in direct relationship to usage patterns
- Enable shared resources for staff who will only have sporadic
non-essential needs for use of a mobile phone for business
purposes
- Customers will be able to manage their cash flow better as
payment is made in arrears of use. This means costs do not have to
be absorbed ahead of any incoming revenue
- The service is always available. Therefore if a SME makes the
decision to use Flexible Workforce for last minute freelance help,
for instance, deployment is rapid
- Billing is simple, with Flexible Workforce subscribers
receiving a monthly statement for managing their business costs
efficiently
