The Case for Telework: Results Matter, Location Does Not

June 22nd, 2010

Federal Computer Week recently published a fascinating article entitled “Telework: The Future is on Hold,” discussing how lack of current technology is hurting the federal government’s ability to increase flexibility and productivity and cut costs through telework.

OPM cut $200,000 a year from their budget when they were able to close their office and transition all employees to teleworking. It is only a matter of time until more government contractors and businesses of all kinds begin to realize the incredible cost-savings available through switching to telework.

With the right business solutions in place and access to Washington DC meeting rooms when necessary, all business tasks can be accomplished effectively outside of the office with no need for real estate costs, leasing fees nor the expense of office maintenance and administration.

Metro Offices provides practical solutions enabling businesses to fully-support a ten-person workforce for only $1,000 a month. DC Metro Area employees can work from anywhere they have Internet capability, accessing all essential information through use of a VoIP platform. Metro’s telework packages also include access to DC Metro area meeting rooms, Virtual Clubs, Lounges, FlexDesks and guest offices at any Metro Office location.

Rather than just depending on telework for bad weather or other times when it is difficult to get to the office, smart business owners are beginning to realize telework provides a consistent solution that can benefit employees, customers, and the business as a whole on a daily basis.

If the job can be done just as well or even better outside of the office, why take such a large chunk out of the bottom line for a permanent office space and the associated costs? Businesses and government contractors already utilizing telework are reporting more loyal workers and increased job performance.

Telework makes it easier and more affordable than ever to run a business in Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland. For more information on Telework, Executive Office Spaces, FlexDesk and other cost-effective business solutions visit Metro Offices online at www.metroffice.com.

Government Contractors: Increase your Business Opportunities with Secure Virtual Office Space

January 26th, 2010

Here today, somewhere else tomorrow. One of the top needs of government contractors is location flexibility. Given to one proprietary task this year, and another the following, the only certainty is change. With the recent explosion of the ranks of government contractors, virtual office space has become an ideal alternative to traditional offices.
Working out of a virtual office space is the best way for government contractors to maintain the flexibility their job requires while also operating out of a professional work environment.

Metro Offices caters to the needs of government contractors – from the inside out. We understand the importance of having a secure environment.  That’s why locked offices, badge access to elevators, and trained receptionists in every lobby are all standard in our infrastructure.

Here are some of the reasons government contractors are seeking virtual office space more than ever:

  • Many government contractors need a business address that complies with government rules and regulations. It is far more reputable to be able to use the address of a large office building than a home address or P.O. Box.
  • Virtual office space provides government workers a “secure” and secretive place to work on confidential tasks and information.
  • Government contractors often seek virtual offices because of their flexibility. Whether you want to telecommute or work in the office, virtual office spaces gives you this option, without being disconnected from your clients and colleagues.
  • Using a remote office or shared office space can help them react to new business opportunities more quickly, which gives them an advantage over their competitors.
  • Virtual office services allow government contractors to work more efficiently and maintain a professional interaction with their client. They spend less time handling administrative tasks, and more time focused on the task at hand.
  • Complete flexibility, excellent support, advanced technology, and complete security. In today’s business world, virtual office services are the solution more government contractors rely on for a secure, optimal work environment.
