Office Solutions for Digital Nomads
Marry the Mobile World and a Washington D.C. Base Point.
The advent of affordable, sophisticated equipment capable of generating, duplicating, manipulating, and distributing documents, coupled with the steady decrease in communication costs, has breathed new life into time-honored methods of work. Contemporary terms like "mobile officing," "home-based business," "virtual offices," "telecommuting," or "alternative officing" capture the essence of these practices.
Once upon a time, the office was the definitive workspace for many. Now, the world has become the workspace, with the office serving as one integral part of it. OSI, since its inception, has understood and embraced this transformation, striving to render this office component cost-effective, flexible, and finely tuned to the needs of professionals and organizations in our increasingly mobile global society.
Office Spaces Catering to Businesses of All Sizes
Small Business Administration research indicates that the United States is home to over 11 million 'home-based businesses.' More than 50% of new ventures are born at home, and such businesses comprise over half of all firms with fewer than 500 employees. These entities contribute to approximately 10% of the nation's business income, with over 50,000 home-based firms amassing income exceeding one million dollars annually
Large and medium-scale organizations too are embracing mobile and decentralized work arrangements, with millions of Americans exploiting the benefits of 'telecommuting.' Government programs have also started endorsing telecommuting.
Substantial enterprises employ 'hot desk' systems to optimize the use of central office facilities by sharing them on an as-needed basis among mobile workers. The concepts of 'virtual corporations' and 'flat organizations' represent innovative approaches to leveraging affordable communications, mobility, and ingenious organizational design, bypassing the need for heavily centralized hierarchies and colossal, centralized physical infrastructures.
A multitude of organizations, ranging from law, consulting, trading, manufacturing, financial, to information technology, utilize these systems to synchronize their core participants, sales, supply, advisory, and other functions. The benefits are manifold: flexibility, agility, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability.
Office Business Centers (OBCs) have emerged as a private sector innovation, facilitating mobile officing, home-based businesses, telecommuting, and virtual organizational setups. They cater to the needs of home-based businesses by providing professional office facilities and support staff on-demand, accessible literally via a phone call or an email. They allow entities, both large and small, to establish 'branch' offices and facilities with minimal investment. By offering shared, temporary, and virtual office space for mobile professionals in DC, they create a communication nexus for multi-person organizations without the need for long-term leases or heavy investments in infrastructure. They provide startups with 'plug and play' office support, lowering costs, facilitating mobility, and reducing the financial barriers to business organization and growth.
