Every day medium and large businesses have to deal with the pressure and demands to perform faster, smarter and more efficiently. As a result of technological advances, your employees can connect to anyone, anytime, anywhere in the world using different devices. Because collaboration and communication tools are making it easy to connect globally in multiple locations, many medium and large businesses are starting to re-evaluate how they operate.
With more employees working remotely or from home the shift to mobile and virtual office options is gaining popularity. But a virtual office isn’t possible if you don’t have fast Internet speed, cloud file back up and sharing, mobile technology and online collaboration tools.
Why your business needs the virtual office
Medium and large businesses around the world are discovering the value of the virtual office. By emulating a physical office environment, the virtual office provides employees with the equipment, tools and communication solutions to effectively perform their jobs. So why should your business consider the virtual office?
By being able to work from anywhere, anytime on any device your employees’ productivity and efficiency increases. And while your physical office spaces may still exist, the flexibility of being able to work from anywhere can improve work/life balance and job satisfaction. Less time spent commuting or getting stuck in traffic jams can also improve productivity while reducing stress.
Working at different locations, remotely or from home has major benefits, but it’s vital that your employees can communicate and collaborate easily and efficiently. While conference calls may still have their place, they’re not also the best way to stay connected with your workforce. Audio conferencing can be convenient but call dropouts, noise issues and the inability to focus on the call because of no visual aids is often challenging.
For medium and large businesses the best practice solution for collaboration and communication is to use video conferencing.
Unlike audio conferencing, video conferencing provides essential visual cues necessary for collaboration and communication. And by using state-of-the-art technology the audio and video quality makes it feel like you’re in the same room.
Like to reduce the amount of time and money your business spends on traveling to meetings? Video conferencing allows for easy collaboration without leaving the office. For medium or large businesses with multiple offices in different locations and time zones, meetings and catch-ups become a breeze.

The best way your virtual office can store and share files
If your medium or large business has employees who work from home, on the road or remotely, it’s vital to consider how files are shared, stored and backed up.
