Sarah Isaacs says she’s found what works best for her business.

Isaacs founded the security solution provider Conventus, headquartered in Chicago, in 2006 after working with Symantec for five years. As a CEO overseeing 30 employees, Isaacs said she’s seen the light and recommends VARs take their business into the virtual space.

Isaacs’ company is 100 percent virtual. It has no permanent office and no desks, yet it services a Fortune 500 clientele.

Still, not every company – and not every employee – is cut out for remote work.

Isaacs said she and her team look to bring on people who can thrive in a “virtual” environment to better the company and productivity over all.

“This type of culture is not for everyone,” she said, “and the individuals that we look to work closely with and bring on board have that entrepreneurial spirit and really a level of functioning independently that isn’t commonly found. The individuals that thrive in our environment really enjoy being their own boss.”

Conventus consultants, sales team and even management all work from home or co-working spaces and travel regularly to clients’ offices and data centers to consult on policy or tackle matters in person.
