Cloud Business Communications Helps Reduce Office Space and Rental Costs
A lot has been written about the increased agility, customer service and productivity benefits of using Cloud-based business communications services. Cloud services enable many worker types, such as executives, knowledge workers, project managers and customer service staff can work productively anywhere. Services such as BroadSoft’s UC-One My Room enable the dispersed workforce to regain the benefits of spontaneous “water cooler” conversations.
However, there’s another tangible benefit to more agile, flexible working practise – and that’s the reduction of traditional office space required.

While this will probably remain the exception rather than the rule, there’s no doubt Cloud communications and near-ubiquitous broadband is providing unprecedented freedom in where and how we choose to work and live our lives.
