What is Virtual Consulting?
Most offices share a core list of activities - basic computing and printer management, telecom costs, insurances, various kinds of leases, purchasing, office supply management, etc.
Each activity has a finite number of management variables. For example; leases have interest rates, terms, fees, and buyouts. Printers have prices, costs per page, electricity costs, features, etc.
We've developed questionaires and analytics for evaluating many, many different kinds of office activities.
In the context of any single Virtual Consulting topic, we
1. Define an evaluation model based on your specific priorities
2. Analyze your current setup's cost and performance profile
3. Compare your current profile to other solutions in the market place
4. Make recommendations for improvements
5. Provide phone/email/electronic support for implementation
What is a Virtual Consulting Project?
A low cost, single subject evaluation. Examples are

Evaluate our Internet/Phone/Cell costs. Costs range from $149 to $999, depending on topic and project scale. See individual project pricing for more info.
Why is Virtual Consulting So Cost-Effective?
Consulting projects consist of data collection, analysis, advice and implementation.
Data collection and implementation generally require costly, time-consuming site visits. Virtual Consulting relies on
your people to collect data and make physical improvements, thereby obviating the need for us to make site visits. Productive Practices
provides questionaires, guidance, analysis and recommendations. If you can make lists and send emails, we can guide
you through implementing sustainable improvements
