Virtual Offices:

The rise of mobile technology has changed the way companies do business, allowing employees to work from home, their local coffee shop or virtually anywhere they have access to an Internet connection.

Through its customizable “aVirtualOffice” service, Amata offers customers a live phone receptionist, their own mailing address and monthly access to a private office or conference room in one of the company’s landmark buildings.

Unlike many of its competitors, Amata does not display its name in lobbies or other common areas, allowing its tenants to take center stage.

If an Amata client has no need for office or conference space, Amata still can provide phone and mail services through its “aBusinessPhone” plans, all of which come with a live receptionist who answers calls with a greeting tailored to each client and routes them to the appropriate number so callers never know “aBusinessPhone” clients don’t have a physical office.
