Virtual Office A New Technology For Home Business.
In many articles that were written about Virtual Office's several years ago they were right on as to their interpretation of what the Virtual Office meant several years ago. Now the Virtual Office has taken on a new trend. Today's Virtual Office is really an office that gives you the same ability as if you were in a physical building but in reality you are running it from your computer. Below is an article that was written in 2006 about what a virtual office meant just a short time ago?
"Virtual office is what you make it
By Penelope Trunk | October 1, 2006
While everyone was watching for the telecommuting trend to explode, something else exploded right next to it: The virtual company. The business with no office to telecommute from.
These companies give new opportunities to entrepreneurs to get started with no money down. But a virtual business also gives people the opportunity to create the personal life they want.
``The future is likely to be the age of virtual businesses," writes Anita Campbell, founder of Small Business Trends. ``Forget three guys in a garage -- that was your father's startup. Today it's three people spread out across the country or even across continents, each in their home offices or back porches with laptops, mobile phones, and WiFi."
Pamela Slim, who blogs at Escape From Cubicle Nation, says a perfect storm of factors is converging to make virtual businesses more popular, and easier to start:
1. Workers will quit regular jobs to get control over their time. Both men and women are increasingly willing to leave the work force to create personal time and family time, according to Jacqueline Luffman, a labor analyst for the Canadian government. In light of that, a virtual office ends up seeming like a compromise rather than an extreme solution.
2. Technology levels the playing field. It has become so cheap and easy to use that someone who doesn't have a lot of resources can create a Web presence that looks established and professional.
3. Retail businesses can be virtual. Of course, there's always eBay. But you can also set up a shop with Amazon, where you create a storefront and Amazon handles all inventory and fulfillment issues -- and then sends you a check for the sales you make. Or you can work with a slew of smaller online wholesalers the same way.
4. The rise of telecommuting. Established companies such as Sun Microsystems realize that telecommuters are happy, appreciative, and cost-effective, so they encourage people to telecommute. Smart companies provide essential training and support so workers are productive at home from the start. The side effect is that location-based companies are training workers on how to set up their own virtual companies.
This trend means that it's easier for you to have a work life that you can control -- whether you're working at your own virtual company or at someone else's. The benefits are flexibility, efficiency, and little overhead. The drawback is that time management is difficult, and not everyone adapts."
After reading this article the Virtual Office, as they are referring to, is simply a computer and a wifi phone. The technology has changed to allow a person to create their own Virtual Office and have it perform as if everyone were in a real office. Because of the technology shift now you can, through your computer, meet, talk, and demonstrate as if you were sitting together in the same room, real time.
With the new Virtual Office you can run a global home business as if you were running a local business in a small town. With the internet now becoming riddled with potential fraud many people want to know there is a real person behind a product or service that is of interest to the consumer. Many people would want to speak to a real-live-person before they spend their hard earned money.
