Virtual Office Solution Key Benefits

IBM and Cisco® deliver a virtual office solution that provides flexibility and productivity and extends the traditional office by delivering secure, rich, and manageable network services to teleworkers and employees working outside the traditional office environment.
By providing extensible network services that include data, voice, video, and applications, the virtual office effectively creates a comprehensive office environment for employees, regardless of their location.
Virtual office increases employee productivity and work life balance by allowing access to business data and communications infrastructure remotely. At the same time decreasing the costs of commuting for the employees, eliminating expensive dedicated lines for small offices and also reducing company real-estate costs.
IBM delivers Cisco® Virtual Office that includes full featured management infrastructure including services for policy definition, identity, and automated configuration push to the remote end. This option is ideal for enterprise organisations looking to support a larger number of teleworking employees with well-defined security policy requirements.
IBM also delivers Cisco® Virtual Office Express which is a simplified architecture to take care of initial installation steps. This is very beneficial for small and mid size deployments when there is no need for a comprehensive set of management tools, while providing the same secure remote user functionality as the full solution. This coupled with IBM’s Unified Converged Communication; the client can get the more secure, robust and advanced network to meet their needs.
