Virtual
Assistance (V.A.) is a growing industry. More and more companies
are downsizing, self-employment is on the rise and there is an
ever-increasing trend to outsource services usually performed by
office managers, executive assistants and administrative
supervisors. Virtual Assistance enterprises use today's technology
to provide affordable, accurate and professional business support.
What does virtual mean? Advancements in technology have made it
possible to provide services to businesses located somewhere other
than the Virtual Assistance place of business. The Internet,
email, telephone and fax machine are the every-day tools used to
communicate with the business community. Some V.A. clients are
based in other Canadian provinces or in a different country, and
services are often provided without ever seeing or meeting the
client.
Leading business magazines describe
Virtual Assistance as invaluable in today's business environment.
