An Overview of the Virtual Office Concept
You probably won’t be surprised to learn that we hear a lot of talk in the business world about companies that utilize a virtual office. That’s because a large part of the business population doesn’t really understand what that means.
A virtual office is a service providing virtual assistance that is offered through serviced offices which allows clients to use a prestigious office address and professional reception service, without renting a physical office. This provides a cost-effective alternative for small business owners who work from home or for traveling business people. Virtual offices provide professional and reliable handling and routing of customers, phone calls, and mail for the client - in essence, ensuring the client’s virtual presence.
A virtual office may also denote a computer network system allowing users to login in from any location (e.g., an airport) and access their e-mail, documents, and other stored files. Several employees may even be able to work on the same project at the same time. In this sense, the ‘office’ is the place where the person logs into the computer network.
A virtual office may also refer to a system which integrates and facilitates daily office activities like document management, accounts management, daily diary, telephone books, database management, client management, and website management, among other things.
Virtual Office Tip: Company access to the amenities of the serviced offices, such as fax machines, photocopiers, and meeting rooms, whenever the client visits the serviced office. Virtual offices are offered by most serviced office providers.
