It looks like there’s another coworker that is ready to meet me – must be my lucky day!

This time it’s Anne, one of our researchers who has been working with us since about 2004 and is truly a great information professional. You can read a little about her here on our sister site, ClickNwork, and also at our ClickNwork blog where she wrote an interesting entry about her new book.

Anne lives not too far from where I’ll be spending some of my holiday and the hope is that we can coordinate schedules to meet up.

In many ways Anne epitomizes what’s good about remote working – she has valuable skills that can be applied at-distance and uses the flexibility of virtual work to make time for something she’s passionate about.  I look forward to meeting her.

Today I booked a trip to the Ukraine – my first appointment to devirtualize my workplace. I’m going to meet someone that I’ve never met (or even spoken to) but have been working with for years.

In a few weeks I fly to Kiev then take a 6 hour train to Kharov which is right on the Russian border and where I will meet Yurii. We’ll spend a day trying to work (I say trying as we’re not actually sure we’ll be able to communicate face to face – so far we’ve just managed email and text).

(My fall back plan, should we completely be unable to understand each other, is to find a corner, log into Skype and text like we always do!)

Then I’ll turn around and head home.

In a few days I’ll show you some of the things we’ve been working on.

For a business based entirely on the web we are late to the blogging game, but here we are! (We actually started a blog over a year ago but didn’t like the software package and got too busy to change it, so we now have even more time to make up…)

Business360 provides many business services – research, writing, analysis, consulting, placements and more. What makes us different is how we do it. The terms outsourcing and offshoring are commonplace, and that’s what we do, but we use teams of people around the world that work from home to deliver the services. This gives us a different perspective on business process outsourcing, and that is what we’ll write about.

We’ve been in business for about 10 years now and have seen various trends, some ebb and flow and others never leave. This blog will share some of thoughts and opinions and ideas and we hope it will be a useful springboard into the terrain.
