Wireless Office Gives Small Business Owners An Edge

For mobile entrepreneurs who are always on the go, Office Depot has what looks to be a great service meant to give your small company the appearance of seeming larger than it is. As we all know, that can mean the difference between a new client or one that walks away. The Wireless Office service starts at about $65 per month, and includes all of the following services.

After Hours Answering Service
Need a way to manage calls after hours? Wireless office service works for a fraction of the cost of a live answering service and can actually connect the call rather than setting up a call back With Wireless office service, you avoid playing “phone tag” and connect to your callers after hours.

Virtual Receptionist
Don’t have an office? Don’t have a receptionist? Need to present callers with a main business number that routes calls to the right people or information? Wireless office service works as your virtual receptionist 24hrs/day for the fraction of the cost of a dedicated person.

Consolidating and Connecting Virtual Workers
Are a majority of people in your “office” not in the office at all? Most phone systems deliver calls only to office phones. If your company primarily uses home or cellular phones, then Wireless office service is for you.

Consolidating and Connecting Multiple Offices
Looking to consolidate multiple branch offices with one phone number and one phone system? Wireless office service lets you do that and much more.

Making Small Businesses Look and Sound Larger
Tired of your small business sounding like a small business to callers? Wireless office service makes any business sound like a large enterprise.

Retail Call Routing
Are your retail employees spending too much time answering the phone and too little time helping customers? Wireless office service allows retail store to focus on customers while providing automated information to callers and only connect the right callers to the store.

Not bad, eh? If anyone is using, or has used, this service, let us know how it is.

One of the most well-known office supply chains is of course Office Depot. They like to your one stop shop for all office supplies, and furthering that image they created the Office Depot Online Store. The implementation is simple enough; provide a specific location where consumers can go to purchase office related products that could earn the Office Depot name more money. Located at www.officedepot.com, it is any easy site to load up, with limited graphics that actually help the pages to come up quicker. They additionally try to drive traffic through their web-site by advertising it not only online and in the store, but in print advertisements as well. By having the web-site up and running, Office Depot has attempted to take back a part of the market share that sites such as Staples of Office Max has control of. The big three are always competing for the Internet Office Supply dollars, and as a result, it becomes quite important for them to put their best foot forward when it comes to the Office Depot Online Store.

seems like a pretty solid service. I do not have a need for this quite yet, but hopefully by Q2 06 I’ll have more than a need for this.

I’ve been actively covering the technology industry for about 4 years now and IN the industry as a consultant for many years before that. What I’ve noticed is how far the divide is between technologists - real hard core geeks who understand technology and those who do not.

Interestingly enough, what happens is that technologists (or half baked techies) are given the job of selling technology to non-technical (often times) business owners…

Is there anybody with the experience of using this service? I’m looking forward to listen to their oppinion. It will be very helpful for me as I’m going to purchase this service.

Thanks! It’s good news. What about HP Smart Office?
