How conference rooms can play multiple roles

Most companies need a conference or meeting room. The question is, should a conference room be only for conferences?

Virtual Office solutions – what start-ups need to get started

How do start-ups get started? A survey shows that what most start-ups need is an office from which to start work from day one. With constraints on capital, they cannot buy or rent office space, specially in a good business location. What many end up doing is working from home or going across to a coffee shop or even taking their laptops to a park bench! All these modes of working are beset with problems. Working from home may be rent-free but you pay heavily in loss of focus as there are too many distractions. Besides, your home address does not always look impressive as […]
