How Virtual Workspaces Thrive in the Cloud
2
One of the many reasons small business owners and
consultants opt for a virtual office is the
savings. Virtual offices are available at
incredibly affordable prices and, also cut down
on other costs like furnishing workspaces,
transit costs and above all, the rent of a
traditional office space. With a virtual
workspace, it becomes easier to run a business
remotely, with the added benefit of having a
registered business address. Virtual office
providers make it easy for their clients to work
remotely while still maintaining a physical
presence.

The best thing is, virtual offices allow
businesses to carry out their work entirely
online, or on the cloud. There are so many
services, both free and subscription-based that
allow companies to move their entire business
online, which lets them save on local space
rentals, hiring for maintenance and all the
little things that can add up and make a huge
dent on their capital.

Here are five ways virtual workspaces thrive in
the cloud
Anywhere, anytime accessibility
When all your work is on the cloud, it can be
accessed from any location whenever you want.
Virtual office solutions dont usually come
attached with a workspace but, with access to the
internet, you can work from home, a nearby coffee
shop or even on the go using a smartphone.
5
Flexible Resource Distribution
The benefit to moving your business to the cloud
is that its incredibly easy to distribute your
resources effectively, and redistribute them just
as easily. It could be an employee whos working
on a client, who can then be assigned to another,
with their work being ported to someone else at
the click of a button. Other resources like
online storage, documents and other resources can
be reassigned immediately.

Software Pooling
Working virtually comes with a few other
benefits. When all your resources are in the
cloud, its easy to share software between
employees and other members of your company. Take
a design suite as an example. When its on a
single system, sharing it is not easy, nor is it
feasible. In the cloud however, access can be
shared easily and with as many or as few
restrictions as needed. This also makes it easy
for individuals to collaborate on an assignment
or any other work they might have.

Secure Systems
With a traditional office, especially in
businesses that handle a high volume of
information or IT Companies, storage is an issue.
Maintaining a server is expensive, requires
regular maintenance also takes up a lot of floor
space. With cloud-based storage however, not only
does the headache of maintaining a server go
away, its also easier to share documents,
content and other material through remote access.
Another benefit of online storage is that the
onus of maintaining them and keeping them secure
is on a third-party, leaving you free to use as
you will, based on the package youve opted for.

Zero Floor Space
The best thing about virtual workspace is that it
doesnt take up any space. When you sign up with
a virtual office provider, all you get is an
address in an important business centre, along
with call and mail handling, as well as a few
other services to make your business run more
smoothly. The physical address serves as a
registered business address and nothing else. All
your business can be handled remotely, through
the internet or on the cloud, negating the need
for a physical place for you and your employees
to work.
