RISMEDIA, June 26, 2006?There was a time not too long ago, when work was a place, an office, a cubicle or a bull-pen. Not anymore. Now work is a set of activities that happen just about anywhere, anytime. With Worktopia, companies of all sizes can now instantly procure productive, workspace on-demand through the new worldwide reservation system. Whether it’s a need for a client meeting for an hour around the corner or for branch offices for a year around the world, Worktopia connects the workforce with a new kind of on-demand workplace.

“The need for productivity and for access to professional support is driving demand for business centers with specially designed workplaces that serve the fast moving new breed of ‘knowledge workers’,” said John Arenas, Chief Executive of Worktopia. “Coffee shops beware. The impromptu workplace is growing up, and companies can now get instant office access for an entire distributed workforce with just a few mouse clicks.”

For instance, traveling executives with down-time between meetings can access a productive place to work for an hour, or a day, by making a reservation from their PDA in one of over 1,000 office locations serving most major cities worldwide. Worktopia offers over 40 instant office space locations in New York City alone.

Putting the latest in online technology to work, Worktopia allows companies to manage their usage of workspace, reduce their long term real estate leasing commitments and satisfy worker’s desires for freedom and a sense of control over their work-life balance. Users can check availability of over 1,200 workspace venues in 52 countries, get instant live quotes, compare competitive proposals and make a decision in less than three minutes. What’s more, it’s free and easy to use. All that’s required is a visit to www.worktopia.com.

The first service of its kind, Worktopia’s proprietary, automated web- based portal system allows companies to procure, measure and manage workspace on-demand for cost savings and flexibility.
