Project Team v.s. Virtual Office

First of all, we check the role part, project model and Virtaul Office are almost in the same. Customers only communicated the key person - Project Manager (Virtual Manager).

However, the big difference between Project based and Virtual Office based methodology is the work unit of former one is working-day, the latter one is working-hour.Generally, the project based will evaluate the cost based on working day depend upon the project scope. The final cost offten surprise small/tiny company without the sufficient budget. It's too bad the cost stop the small/tiny company first touch at IT improvement. Besides, because of the small/tiny company has never IT employee, the IT infrastructure and investment is surely insufficient. In the evaluation phase, they need suggestion from an IT consultant. It's impossible that the project-based team freely support that. But we can.


The different working time unit causes the huge project cost. The unit of working-hour make the IT service flexible. REQUEST ON DEMAND means the working time starts depend upon customer's demand. Customer could require Virtual Office the working time of tomorrow everyday, the smallest time is one hour. For example:
1.The max working time and min working time will be defined in the contract. In general, Max Working Hour per day is 8 hours, Mim one is 1 hour.
2.Virtaul Manager worked with the customer today for 2 hours, and he know the purpose only need one hour tomorrow. He will report to the customer and require only one working-hour tomorrow.
3.Next Day, Virtual Office deliver only one hour for the remand job.
4.Next Day, after the one hour job finished, Virtual Office will deliver daily report for the job status.

Virtual Office Management

Cloud Metis build the internal system called "Daily Working Hour Runner" help to record everyday's deliverred working-hours also help customer to control its cost depend upon working-hours. The system provide various reports including Daily/Weekly/Monthly Report helps the customer review the Man-Power utilization and efficiency of the Virtual Office.
