The Arrival of the Virtual Office - Whitepaper
Wainhouse Research has published a new Whitepaper entitled "The Arrival of the Virtual Office". This Marratech-sponsored whitepaper is available here.
Here is the summary from the article:
The typical work day can be divided into two distinct parts: the time spent attending meetings, and the time spent completing work. In recent years, a wealth of “meeting enhancement” tools has flooded an efficiency-hungry marketplace. For the most part, these tools provide significant and material benefits (like increasing access to expertise or decreasing business travel). These tools, however, are designed to support the metaphor of a meeting, but not the remainder of the work day; in many respects they do not address the continued need for collaboration and teamwork.
This white paper, sponsored by Marratech, focuses on the emergence of a relatively new paradigm for collaboration: the virtual office. More than just an enabler of virtual meetings, virtual office solutions bring geographically dispersed employees virtually together into the same workspace, thereby supercharging teamwork and cooperation between previously isolated resources.
