The forerunners of the virtual networking and conferencing platforms are small, tech-savvy companies.

Duluth, GA (Vocus) December 15, 2009

According to IT consulting and staffing firm Guidance Consulting, one of the hallmarks of a “virtual” company is its size. These days, companies that rely almost solely on virtual communication and conferencing are some of the smallest organizations out there, averaging only 14 employees total, and these small numbers lend themselves to more effective networking and remote working. The team of experts at Guidance Consulting is among the first to demonstrate that larger companies can cash in on this phenomenon, too.

“The forerunners of the virtual networking and conferencing platforms are small, tech-savvy companies,” admits Guidance Consulting senior consultant Daniel Gottilla. “These are the companies that live and breathe all things cutting-edge, and they know already know how cost-effective it can be to support a staff of ten incredibly qualified professionals from virtual offices around the globe.”

For companies of fewer than 20 employees, this idea makes sense. Recruiting, employing, and maintaining high-quality employees from around the world can be a costly affair. After all, unless a company operates in a metropolitan center, it can take extra money and bargaining power to draw in qualified candidates who may need to relocate in order to become a part of the company team. Working remotely offers an incentive beyond financial considerations, allowing companies to hire professionals who might otherwise be out of their league.

“While Guidance Consulting fully supports these types of companies and is prepared to provide comprehensive IT infrastructures and networks for them, we feel that when it comes to virtual offices, size just doesn't matter,” says Gottilla.

Gottilla and his team are fully equipped to create virtual platforms for conferencing and other types of communication for companies with hundreds of employees. “It's the same basic idea, but on a larger scale,” Gottilla asserts. “And the financial benefits are the same.”

These financial benefits are what draw many of today's top corporations to the idea of spreading their employment net a little wider. If employees can work from their homes in lower-cost cities or connect with a team from a business trip across the globe, the biggest impact is on everyone's bottom line – and not just that of the company.

“Small companies have been tapping into this technology for years and been incredibly successful at it,” Gottilla adds. “And we believe there's no reason why larger corporations can't benefit, as well.”
