The serviced office is the office of the future. It goes by many names — probably too many for its own good: serviced offices, executive suites, office suites and office business centers among many other variations of those phrases.
The serviced office concept is simple. The serviced office offers fully furnished, turnkey offices on flexible terms. Bring your laptop and photos of your family, move in immediately and stay an hour, a day, a week, a month or a year (or more). Serviced offices offer friendly receptionists to greet your guests and answer your phone in your company’s name. You get your office, a lobby, a break area, bathrooms that are your own. Oh, and someone else does all the maintenance, cleaning, ensures the internet is running, phones are working and utilities are paid. No worries!

Regus CEO Mark Dixon on Workplace Shifts: The recession is forcing companies to rationalise their costs and in doing so they’re moving more and more people to work from home. We see a definite and permanent trend amongst companies that decide to reduce costs by using a flexible workplace rather than a fixed workplace arrangement.”
Carr Workplaces CEO Joe Wallace on Office Innovation: “We think the workplace will experience innovative change. We expect that change to start on a small scale, with smaller users who have less of an investment in the status quo. Small and micro users of space have already figured out—because necessity makes you creative—that shared space lets everyone get better quality infrastructure, at lower cost.”
Pacific Business Centers CEO Laurent Dhollande on the Distributed Workplace: “Many office users have already learned to live without dedicated offices. Start ups and entrepreneurs drove the initial explosion of Virtual Offices. On the corporate side, companies such as Accenture, Cisco, or Sun Microsystems have successfully deployed touchdown spaces with various hoteling and hot-desking approaches. A growing portion of their workforce is used to operating without a permanent office. Corporations have learned new ways to save on occupancy cost and be more productive at the same time.”
