A virtual
office definition |
| |
A virtual
office is a combination of off-site live communication
and address services that allow users to reduce
traditional office costs while maintaining business
professionalism. Frequently the term is confused with
“office business centers” or “executive suites” which
demand a conventional lease whereas a true virtual
office does not require that expense.
The virtual office idea came from the convergence of
technological innovation and the Information Age. The
concept has roots in the Industrial Revolution, where
parallels to current work styles, specifically working
from home, have been drawn.
The term was first used in a 1983 airline in-flight
magazine article about portable computing. The virtual
office concept is an evolution of the executive suites
industry. However, the inflexibility of an executive
suite lease doesn’t work for many business models and
helped spur the virtual office concept. The first
commercial application of a virtual office occurred in
1994, when Ralph Gregory founded “The Virtual Office,
Inc" now known as Intelligent Office, in Boulder,
Colorado.
1. Professional Address – A prestigious building to be
used as the business address. A professional address
alleviates the privacy and personal security concerns of
running a home-based business. A user can expand into
new markets by utilizing a provider with multiple
locations to establish a professional presence in the
desired growth markets.
2. Mailing address – The professional address can be
used for accepting, sending & forwarding mail without
the connotations of a PO Box. Under US law, a PO Box is
to be clearly indicated and so not contusive for most
corporate entities in this regard. Some VO providers
offer 24/7 access to individually assigned and locked
mailboxes. This allows the staff of a VO user to have a
centralized location as a convenient vehicle for the
secure transfer of paper documents 24/7. A mail-only
provider may be subject to USPS CMRA regulations.
3. Reception Courtesies – Receptionists at the business
address can receive and sign for incoming overnights,
deliveries, packages and provide document
drop-off/pick-up services. On-site witnesses and
notaries may be available, depending on the provider.
4. Business Meeting Space – The on-demand use (hourly,
daily or weekly) of conference rooms and offices for
meetings.
5. Casual Workspace – As an alternative to the
distractions of co-working or the interruptions of a
home office, office space is available on an occasional
or “drop-in” basis, either hourly, daily or monthly.
6. Executive Suite – A small percentage of VO users
lease space full-time time.
7. On-Site Amenities – A full-service virtual office
will provide broadband internet, fax-copier-printer,
advanced phone features, conference calling, video
conferencing, kitchenette and a business-worthy
lobby/waiting area.
Virtual offices Users:
A virtual office blends home and work to gain
efficiencies in both. Office expenses are low, while the
user’s professionalism retains the image of a
traditional, high-cost office. A virtual office user can
reduce their environmental impact, as well as the
personal negatives of a daily commute.
Virtual office clientele have the flexibility to match
expenses with revenue fluctuations immediately, as the
costs are usually variable.
A virtual office can allow for low-cost expansion with
no long-term commitments. Users taking advantage of
virtual office receptionists eliminate the traditional
burden of health care, records, payroll, insurance &
rent. Also, traditional time-off (sick days, vacations,
personal leaves, etc…) does not apply to a virtual
staff.
Virtual offices Economy:
Virtual offices are experiencing growth even in a
recessionary economy, and not just in the United States.
As businesses look to trim expenses, virtual office
services help reduce overhead while keeping
professionalism high. For example, by paying for space
and communication infrastructure on an as-needed basis,
businesses can keep office expenses to a minimum. The
portability of today’s technology also allows for a more
flexible work environment. As businesses trend to a more
“online” workplace, the notion of paying for space
full-time becomes anachronistic. Traditional
receptionists making $12-14/hour can be replaced with
remote receptionist services at a fraction of the
traditional cost
At an increasing pace, the VO concept is replacing the
traditional office. Surveys reveal that a greater
percentage of the workforce desires a more “mobile”
definition of an office. The new generation of
entrepreneurs is embracing the virtual office instead of
the traditional on a global scale[39]. Many companies
are incorporating the flexibility of a virtual office
into their culture. Corporations like Accenture, IBM and
Crayon are at the forefront of publicly-traded companies
actively utilizing the virtual office concept. Even the
world of academia has discovered the advantages of a
virtual office. The virtual office industry has spawned
a sub-industry; companies are now developing products &
services specifically for virtual office applications.
Companies have barely scratched the surface of the
concept of virtual offices. Working virtually is the
future for all businesses that seek to (points 1-8):
1. Make the world an extremely connected place, reaching
smaller towns and cities across the globe.
2. Set up branches in important cities or abroad,
regardless of current size.
3. Reduce carbon footprints by lowering consumption of
fuel and electricity by eliminating distance variables
and expanding boundaries for working creatively.
4. Cash in on the interaction technology wave and ensure
that anything other than talent, skills, intelligence
and aptitude are irrelevant (like a worker’s previously
limiting physical location).
5. Expand hiring choices and provide a more comfortable
working environment, less stress and a more balanced
lifestyle while increasing personal productivity with
time & money saved from zero commuting.
6. Cut commercial real estate costs with a viable
alternative rents or leases and reduce large set-ups,
hierarchies and innumerable administrative functions.
7. Encourage entrepreneurs who want to test a business
location and expand their presence by removing the
start-up company obstacles of infrastructure and fixed
staff.
8. Have staff flexibilities instead of hiring
secretaries
