What is a coworking space?
A coworking space is a shared workspace for independent professionals and entrepreneurs from different fields. It is an efficient use of the work space, since it fits perfectly with each worker needs and it entails great savings due to costs reductions of not using bigger facilities.
The idea of coworking promotes bringing brilliant, creative and hardworking people together for the purpose of working independently in their own projects. At the same time it creates a community in which ideas can collide and where workers can find a support system.
These spaces usually have shared services such as WIFI, cleaning, printer, electricity, water …etc.
Since they are entrepreneurs, self-employed workers and independent companies, they don’t have phone or call center software services. They don’t have it because of the need of independent phone numbers to reach them and contact their businesses.
