Internet use has fueled the growth of virtual teams, consisting of people who work remotely and use information technology to communicate and collaborate.
Virtual teams are a new modality in the organization and management of work since so far, the teams were on-site and the work was done in a shared space, or there was a physical operational base.
Professionals and companies can leverage the opportunities offered by virtual teams to work on them, so as to create and manage them.

Hiring a team of virtual professionals in order to open or expand your business, will allow you to avoid all the costs involved in opening an office such as renting a space and purchasing equipment and materials.

A virtual team can consist of people living in different countries, and through each of these virtual professionals, your business can have access to different markets worldwide.

With collaborative software programs or “groupware”, members of a virtual team can work on a common project from various locations, share information and communicate among themselves.
