virtual company

    0.03 sec.

virtual company

An organization that uses computer and telecommunications technologies to extend its capabilities by working routinely with employees or contractors located throughout the country or the world. Using e-mail, faxes, instant messaging, data and videoconferencing, it implies a high degree of telecommuting as well as using remote facilities.

To the Extreme
The most radical example of a virtual company would be one that hires only temporary help and whose office facilities are little more than a post office box and answering machine. See virtual, pervasive computing, telecity and hoteling.
