The Design of the Modern Office

The makeup of today’s office is driven by innovation.

There are countless ways the modern office transcends the office of yesteryear, but the most obvious is probably the layout. Where not long ago cubicles were all the rage, now the open office setup is most popular, as business owners and executives look to cost effective strategies to stretch their budgets and stay flexible. The open office doesn’t offer much in the way of extra productivity, but because it is more affordable, many businesses will pack employees into 40-60 square feet and typically the more workers you have, the more productive your business will be.

When you look past the design and really look at the technology, the robust CRT monitors and large, noisy computer towers are gone. In their place are smaller flat screen monitors and small thin client boxes that run virtualized software off of a partitioned server. This shift in computing technology gets more in depth if you factor in cloud hosted solutions, where another business offers you some sort of computing solution. Whether it be software deployment, backup and recovery, network monitoring, or completely hosted computing infrastructure, computing services the cloud offers the scalability and value most organizations require.

Some of the other technologies that are changing the face of the modern office include:

• Voice over Internet Protocol - More functionality at a fraction of the cost of a traditional phone system.
• Conferencing Solutions - Interactive touch screen technology specifically designed for long-distance meeting and collaboration.
• Virtualization and Document Management - Get rid of your bulky file cabinets and store your company’s important client and vendor information in servers that can set up to be accessible anywhere.
• Business Continuity Technology - There was a time where a disaster like a fire or a flood would put a company’s future in peril. With complete offsite backups, the risk is gone.
• Wireless Systems - Fueling the paperless office, wireless technologies provide employees, vendors, and guests to securely use mobile and wireless technology to improve cooperation and collaboration.
• End-to-end Security - Enormous strides have been made in physical and network security. With office automated security controls, as well as automated monitoring solutions, your business can be more secure and efficient.
