VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION

Members of a virtual team may be from the same organization or from several different organizations working on a specific project. The project is the team bonder. We in Atlas have been doing this for ages, as you know we have 2 offices, one in Illinois, USA and the other in West Bengal, India. So when 2 offices work together, there are a lot of factors which comes into play.

We make sure that-

• The kickoff conference should have members from both part of the world. It brings in commitment and focus to both sides.
• The Project Manager has to be extra attentive when a global team is working on a project, so everybody is in the same loop.
• Time zones are the biggest factor and there are several articles that get written everyday on this. At Atlas we work around a schedule that works for all of us. Of course if the US office takes call at the middle of the night, so does the India office.
• 24 x 7 service delivery is possible when both teams work in sync , the India Team works while US team sleeps and vice versa.
• The language of communication has to be global and local phrases should be avoided to keep the communication clear.
• Clarification is always the best idea.
• Help comes in all forms like the Remote Desktop Connection, Teamviewer, Skype, Web cam are the tools that get used often to bridge the gap. Server build, RAID card installations can be simply executed through VOIP and a web cam.
• Technology is a big help, however too much of it can spoil relationships. So take the time to connect once in a while on a humane level. Call up your team on the other side of the world even if you cannot meet.
• Being aware of the culture of the team sure helps. Sending e-cards on Christmas or Holi can be fun and acts as a token of appreciation of each others culture.
• Nothing can come as close as co-locating for a project, however if virtual teams have to work on the same project sincere efforts can go a long way.
