Unified communications is a huge piece of the virtual office technology puzzle. Large companies like IBM and Cisco are working towards these ends. Virtual office technologies like presence — knowing if your contacts are available, in a meeting, etc. — are vital to a distributed workforce.

Virtual offices and serviced offices seem to be golden geese right now. With so much focus on the market, it’s going to no doubt cause new competitors to enter the market, as well as existing competitors to roll out new products.

Office@home is a prime example of that.

This is a good time for the serviced office industry because we’re going to see innovative solutions to meet the demand for (1) displaced workers looking for low-cost solutions to launch a business on one side of the spectrum and (2) large companies looking for ways to effectively communicate with mobile workforces.

With all the talk about teleworking for so many years, I’m surprised it took this long for a company to roll out a solution like this. I’m sure there are others, but the way Office@home is packaged makes it attractive, easy to understand the benefits, and easy to implement.

I’d be interested to learn how much uptake Officescape gets on its latest product to empower virtual workers and distributed workforces. That data would be telling in comparison to all the experts who suggest that one day we’ll all work from remote locations.

Officescape continues to launch innovative products for alternative office space users.

The Office@home solution has teleworkers — and their organizations — covered. I found the aspect of security an important one. Studies have shown that employees are one of the biggest leak-threats in terms of information, and that may cause companies not to embrace telework. But with robust security in place to safeguard information transfers, this is quickly become less of a concern.

Officescape is certainly moving quickly to capitalize on the demand for virtual offices and solutions for a distributed workforce in 2009. I’m sure the company was planning these new offerings for some time, but the roll out is strategic as we read more and more about the benefits of serviced office space and virtual offices in a down economy.
