2 questions for Jan Rudolph, sales representative at ZDS Waldorfhäslach, which supplies offices with all things IT - software, hardware and services.
Jan, you have seen a lot of offices in the course of your career at ZDS. What changes have you noticed the most in the past decade – apart from everything becoming more and more digital?
Less is printed, more is digitised, and documents can be found much more quickly as a result. Faster and more effective working is an important issue. Video conferencing is on the rise. Offices are tidier, mountains of paper are gone. Employees are often no longer assigned to fixed workstations but can work wherever they want – in a home office, on the train or at a flexible workstation on site. When it comes to furnishing offices, there is much more emphasis on chic offices, their aesthetics – there are plants, large pictures, large monitors for presentations, …
Large companies are usually well equipped when it comes to office technology. What should even a small business or solo entrepreneur not be without?
A business should be easy to reach. If you don’t have your own office, you could rent a shared office where the switchboard is always manned. That way, there’s always someone there to answer the phone, and what’s more: you can use the shared office’s printer or coffee machine, for example, via a chip. At the end of the month you receive an invoice for the phone calls, printouts, coffees – everything you’ve used in the shared office that month.
