Virtual Office is a customised topic tree relating to the
activities of an organisation, project or network/group.

is complementary to an organisation's own website, but can
be used as an Intranet.

can be added or uploaded in any electronic format from any
location.

information becomes part of a global searchable virtual library.
- staff, project or group members can use any PC with Internet access to access the
Virtual Office.

will not need remote access to their organisation's email system.
- dispersed
staff can take part in virtual discussions and add comments
to existing documents or other knowledge objects.
