The Guide to Going Virtual: Learn How Companies are Growing Strong and Making Money

Innovations International, Announces a Free Course to Help Organizations Start Up and Manage the Virtual Workplace.

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) June 3, 2009 -- The new economy is creating a landscape of virtual workplaces as operations move from commercial spaces to home offices. Companies of all sizes are strategically increasing efficiency while scaling down physical work space.

On June 11, 2009 Innovations International CEO Danny Guillory will host the firm's second Virtual Conference, offering attendees first-hand knowledge of the challenges and benefits of virtualization.

This emerging trend saves on energy costs and the overhead of maintaining a central business location. But, the bottom line is, virtualization can create a stronger organization where employees work efficiently and with balance that working from home can offer.

Roughly speaking, in terms of hard costs, going virtual has saved us about 20% on annual expenses

But it's really done even more for us. The newfound flexibility has enabled his team to work how and when it's best for them, and that is reflected in the quality of their work.

In 2008, Guillory led Innovations International as it transitioned to become an entirely virtual organization, with employees and contractors connected in eight different states. Guillory's hands-on experience and unique insight has been tapped by journalists with the New York Times, Business Week and Mobile Enterprise.

"Roughly speaking, in terms of hard costs, going virtual has saved us about 20% on annual expenses," says Guillory. "But it's really done even more for us. The newfound flexibility has enabled his team to work how and when it's best for them, and that is reflected in the quality of their work."
- Mobile Enterprise

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and other major players creating enterprise architecture and business tools are setting the stage for a boom in virtual organizations. The development of virtual phone systems, mobile communication tools, SAAS programs and cloud computing infrastructure allows companies to connect seamlessly no matter where individuals are located. The challenge is in creating new workflows and helping employees adjust to a paradigm change while they embrace the benefits a virtual workplace can offer.

On June 11, 2009 attendees to the Virtual Conference can examine what it takes to "Go Virtual" from tools to mindset. Guillory will also open up an interactive session for questions and advice.
