In all phases of the business cycle companies need to focus attention on better use of resources. With greater and greater computerization of office functions, more and more people have an "office on the go". They move from one customer site to the next without lengthily desk time in the office. Meanwhile, the office is filled with empty desks and offices. The landlord is happy, but why pay him for space that's not used.

Businesses have shared conference rooms for years. By adding desks and offices to the mix all these resources can be reserved and used on an as needed basis. It's possible to shrink the plant size and reduce expenses. Or as many businesses have done, it's possible to expand the number of employees within existing space. So, whether the business cycle demands cost savings, rapid expansion to keep up with new business, or you want to save money now and be prepared for the next upswing of business, hoteling for mobile employees is a concept for all seasons.
