The days of employees being chained to their desks are gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, teams are always on the move, whether commuting to a client site, working remotely at a caf\u00e9, or even offshore. They are also working overnight to solve a technical issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With important contacts synced on their business smartphones, teams can stay connected and responsive anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry Ford once said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffe29154\">\u201cIt is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money.

Your IT firm\u2019s money comes from your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this doesn\u2019t only apply to your firm\u2019s employees.

One of their key clients is a 200-employee catering company that handles upscale events with up to 14,000 participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/cirasync.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TeamLogic-IT-Quote-about-syncing-GAL-contacts-to-employee-smartphones-1024x290.jpg\" alt=\"TeamLogic IT Quote about syncing GAL contacts to employee smartphones\" class=\"wp-image-50639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirasync.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TeamLogic-IT-Quote-about-syncing-GAL-contacts-to-employee-smartphones-1024x290.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirasync.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TeamLogic-IT-Quote-about-syncing-GAL-contacts-to-employee-smartphones-980x277.jpg 980w, https:\/\/cirasync.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TeamLogic-IT-Quote-about-syncing-GAL-contacts-to-employee-smartphones-480x136.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, the client wanted drivers, event managers, and suppliers to communicate swiftly. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/brianeschultz\/\">Brian Schultz<\/a>, former System Engineer at Teamlogic IT, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffe29154\">\u201cThe [event] company had a major pain point.
