Product Description
The HotOffice Web-Based Intranet Service enables users to communicate and collaborate 24 hours a day, seven days a week from their office, home or the road - from any web-connected PC. A collection of powerful collaboration and productivity tools, HotOffice provides a virtual office at a fraction of the cost of setting up and maintaining a traditional intranet - instantly, without hiring technical personnel to create or maintain it. HotOffice gives users an easy-to-use, company-branded interface with anytime anywhere access to an array of applications and services, including web-based email and group calendar, file management, contact manager, online conference rooms, bulletin boards, package tracking, travel planning, business research and more. The range of small business features is continually expanding.

Using HotOffice, users can send and receive email from anywhere at anytime, collaborate on documents from a hotel room or instantly access a presentation from a client's office. They can send meeting reminders, schedule travel reservations, identify potential clients, track packages easily, and more. HotOffice connects users with employees, customers and vendors, enhances productivity, provides one-stop access to important information, and safeguards valuable assets.

HotOffice has received numerous accolades and awards, including the 2000 PC World World Class Award for Best Group Application and being three times named PC Magazine's Editors' Choice among virtual office services (1998, 1999 and 2000).
