For all the talk of telecommuting, managing a virtual workforce, whether those are part-time staffers or strategically positioned full-time employees around the world, is a challenge. If the virtual employees aren't up to snuff, then the virtual office will suffer. Even if the virtual workers are positioned in executive suites, which would seem to offer the more structure, the point here is that managing a distributed workforce takes a certain skill and style.

With virtual offices, it's important to have collaboration tools. I'd like to see an article that explores some of the players. I hear more about GoToMeeting and WebEx for virtual offices. I am wondering if there are others that are more affordable for the entrepreneur. Does anybody know? Even executive office suites where folks are working down the hall from each other are prime for these types of solutions to do meetings with vendors, etc. All great points about virtual offices and virtual workers.
