Remote Office Centers

iOS iPhone

Find a remote office center, government telework center or coworking facility by on your iPhone.

Remote Office Centers offer a cost effective alternative to long daily commutes and inadequate home office facilities. ROCs lease office space, phone systems and professional grade internet to corporate workers, remote staff, sales staff and consultants so that all of these different types of workers can work remotely from high quality facilities near their home. ROCs are a great alternative for telecommuters who are unsatisfied with the infrastructure and lack of structure in their home telecommuting environment. They are also a great option for remote sales staff, executives and consultants who are tired of working from hotels and/or their kitchen table.

Coworking facilities allow entrepreneurs and self employed workers to work in a facility around others in the same situation so that they can share ideas and a sense of community.

The federal government provides telework centers (especially around the DC area) so that government workers can work remotely and avoid the severe traffic congestion and parking issues in the DC area.

The ROC app provides a way for workers and employers to search for remote office facilities. Find an ROC near you and cut out your long daily commute. This is a green alternative that saves gas, time, greenhouse gas emissions and improves both productivity and quality of life. ROCs offer a great option for employers who want to insure that their telecommuting work force has high quality facilities free from the distractions that can occur in a home telecommuting environment.
