About Intelligent Office

When venture capitalist Ralph Gregory became a father, her sought to work from home more while using services such as receptionists and meeting space to maintain a professional image.

Intelligent Office franchisees offer clients access to meeting spaces and shared office space, remote reception, schedule management, and customer service assistance.
