Virtual office
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Office types
A virtual office is a service 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 that work at home or for travelling 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.
Virtual office clients usually have preferred 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.
A virtual office may also denote a computer network system that allows users to login in from any location (e.g. an airport) and access their e-mail, documents, and other stored files. In this sense, the 'office' is the place where the person logs into the computer network.
A virtual office is a modern concept which integrates and facilitates daily office activities like documents management, accounts management, daily diary, telephone books, database management, client management, Web site Management etc.
