An office in every city around the world…

If you have ever traveled for business you know the challenges you face when trying to do client meetings, host events, and keep on top of your work when on the road. For events you are often forced to rent an expensive restaurant or hotel facility in order to accommodate your customer event. For client meetings, if you are not able to meet a client at their office, then you are forced to set up meetings in busy restaurants, hotel lobbies, or the typical noisy coffee shops. When trying to stay on top of your work, you are limited to searching for coffee shops that offer internet access, or working from your hotel room.

There is a new service being offered that allows you to find, view, book, and use temporary office spaces including simple work cubicles, office boardrooms, and even full office environments with a temporary receptionist to answer your phone. You can pick and choose from spaces that not only help reflect the image of your company, you can also search within specific areas within the city in order to ensure the location is convenient for your customers to find and get to. This web based service, is a central hub where companies can advertise and rent any additional space that they are willing to offer on a temporary basis, and connects it with the business people and companies who wish to have the convenience of access to a true office environment only when they need it.

The company is building a database of locations in every major city around the world and offers real-time availability so that you can plan your meetings and events in advance. Bookings can be done online using a credit card, and confirmations are provided by email just like when you are booking your hotel room and rental cars. Along with booking time, you can also order additional services like printing, faxing services, and Internet access to ensure that you are set up to make the best possible impression with your clients and to be as productive as possible when you are away from your home office.
