We help people create virtual office environments and transition from strictly traditional environments into more mobile based workplaces.  There are any number of tools at your disposal, some of them you're probably familiar with and some of them maybe not.  We can help you create a package of services already available and create solutions for those needs that are not already being met by some other technology.  Virtual offices are the wave of the future.  We can help you ride it in smoothly.

How Our Virtual Office Works

We can help you create a successful virtual office environment or transition from a more traditional workplace setting.  We offer tools and support for:

Management
Managing a virtual office is different than traditional office management.  You can’t see what someone is doing by looking over the cubicle wall.  They can no longer walk into your office with a question or attend a team meeting around a table.  To compensate, you need methods to track progress, measure performance, motivate,  disseminate information and provide communication.

Communications
Communications is even more important in a virtual office or with virtual employees/contractors.  It is actually possible to have better communications than you would in a mortar and bricks office.  A secure mechanism is needed to know when your personnel are available and to securely and instantly talk with them, video conference, transfer documents, and collaborate with them.

Hardware/Networking
It is possible to securely extend your company’s network to your remote workers.  Sometimes this is the best way and other times, due to communication speeds, it works better to build web-enabled applications. 

Security
Having people work remotely with company data and processes creates unique security needs.  Having data on the web also presents particular security issues.  Some of these are covered by policies and procedures, some by backup, some by security software and hardware.  Picking the right mix for optimal cost -v- risk is the key.

Software
Many types of online software are available for free or low monthly cost to help your virtual business.  They range from online faxing to online scheduling of conference facilities.  The key is in knowing where to look and in selecting the best of category for your business.

Custom Software
 Not every business need can be fulfilled with online software or off-the-shelf software.  Sometimes you need custom business software to fit your business.  This is usually the best way to integrate many diverse functions.

Monitoring Tools
Not all employees are well suited to working virtually.  A few individuals can spoil the whole environment.  You can sort out the productive from the unproductive employee with monitoring software that tracks emails, web site access and other measures of productivity. 

Supplies & Surroundings
With virtual workers, many logistical questions arise.  Where do they get their supplies?  How should their home office be apportioned for maximum productivity?  CWC can help with the answers to these questions and many others associated with remote workers.
