New year: New features for the Clarity Communication Center
Clarity kicks off 2022 with a glimpse into the near future of the latest features for Clarity Client for Web and Clarity Communication Center.
Phone number selection
This feature from the Clarity Communication Client, which was requested by many Clarity customers, now also finds its place in the Clarity Client for Web. With a simple drop-down menu, other phone numbers can be easily selected. After clicking on the available number, it will be shown in the display of the other party.
Call pickup function
An important and beloved feature will now be applied in the Clarity Client for Web as follows. By clicking on the new ring icon in the subscriber overview, calls from a colleague can now be picked up very easily.
New conference button
The Conference button in the Clarity Client for Web has also received two new features. Start new conference calls by entering several phone numbers in one line and then clicking the conference button.
In addition, it is now also possible to add any number of phone numbers to an already started call. Thus, a new conference is formed ad hoc for e.g. team meetings or customer meetings
Use of the MS Teams softphone
In addition to the integrated softphone and your own mobile device, you can now make and receive calls in the Clarity Client for Web using the Microsoft Teams Client. This gives the user more freedom in the ways they can use the Clarity Communication Center.
Full integration of Google contacts as a source for address books
In Clarity Communication Center you can synchronize your address books with existing Google contacts, so that they can be found on an overview in the address book. Now you can view contacts from Active Directory as well as from Google contacts at a glance in Clarity Client.
Proxy and reverse proxy server support
This backend feature allows requests from proxy and reverse proxy servers to be received by the Clarity Communication Center. On the one hand, clients and servers of users within the own network can be reached via internal links, on the other hand, access to internal resources of users outside the own network is also possible via public links. In this way, Clarity offers you further options for expanding safety standards and flexibility.

Book launch: "The power of virtual distance"
The digital age brings new complications and challenges. Home offices, increasing reliance on electronic communications, and the rise of virtual interactions has led to a phenomenon called “virtual distance.” In their book “The Power of Virtual Distance,” Dr. Karen Sobel Lojeski and Richard R. Reilly show how companies can use clever solutions to achieve previously untapped competitive advantages.
Our behavior is influenced by the three components of physical distance, operational distance, and affinity distance. They have an effect not only when dealing with people far away, but even to colleagues sitting right next to us. Virtual distance leads to measurable dysfunction in teamwork, innovation, and leadership effectiveness. It doesn’t have to be that way, Karen Sobel Lojeski and Richard R. Reilly are convinced.
In their book, “The Power of Virtual Distance,” they offer specific and proven solutions that can reverse these trends while turning them into a strategy to achieve untapped competitive advantage. The book is a must-read for executives who want to understand the realistic and quantifiable costs of the virtual workplace. For the first time, by applying a mathematical approach called the “Virtual Distance Ratio,” they can wisely manage virtual employees and accurately determine the particular impact of virtual distance on the organization’s critical success factors. Beyond business metrics, the authors show how to make employees less isolated, more integrated, and thus restore meaning and well-being to employees.
“The Power of Virtual Distance” additionally offers an award-winning analysis surveyed among numerous executives, presenting situations and solutions from more than 36 industries in 55 countries around the world.
According to the two management thought leaders, “Everyone in an organization can benefit from reading it by discovering how to improve financial metrics, innovation, trust, employee engagement, satisfaction, and other key performance indicators. And perhaps best of all, following the recommended actions to reduce virtual distance will give the entire workforce the tools they need to bring meaning, purpose and an invigorated sense of belonging back into the workplace and everyday life.”
