Our startup, Onrego Ltd, has a website, business cards, t-shirts and now we have badges too :). At least from now on we can do some buziness :).
I just came from a lunch at Restaurant Keilaranta to our office building when our assistant run towards me with a small package. My first feeling was “not another advertisement again”. But my mood changed rapidly when I noticed this package was not an advertisement. No, we finally received our badges!
Onrego is using Microsoft Office 365 as its messaging and collaboration solution. This means that we have the best solutions in the market such as Microsoft Exchange for emailing, Microsoft Sharepoint for collaboration and Microsoft Lync for communication. This also means that you can call us using Lync!
Microsoft Lync is the solution for online communication. Lync is the follower of Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007, and gives possibilities such as chat, online meetings and calls with or without video. Here is a screenshot of my Lync including my Onrego Staff contacts:
It’s the end of Onrego’s first official week. It has been a very busy but very interesting week. There is a tiny-winy problem though. When I have left our HQ at afternoons, I have already started to count hours how long will it take to be able to get back to the office. Making buziness can be such a fun and interesting!
We haven’t released any of the cloud services in our roadmap yet. We are planning on releasing the first one in September, but still I’m very happy what we have accomplished so far. The company has been alive only one month so far, but I have been able to gather great partners in July, and within the first week, we have published the first version of our website, ordered nice business card and got great t-shirts to wear.
Can the office of just established startup company be located in Keilaniemi, Espoo, Finland, right next to Microsoft, Nokia and Angry Birds, just to name a few? Can the office have a sea view? Yes! The location of our office is a statement. It is a statement to us, to our clients and to our partners.
At first we were not planning on renting an office. The reason was to save some cash. But more we thought about it, renting an own office started to make lots of sense. In the startup phase spending time together is very valuable since we are able to innovate and make decisions fast.
In the last article I revealed new partners joining our startup. Today it’s time to publish our website, and the name of our company of course.
Our startup is called Onrego Ltd, in which “On” means online and availability and “rego” comes from Latin and means “I administer”. We are about to develop exciting cloud services, which we are going to publish in public in a near future. Our website is also up and running, which you can check out on www.onrego.fi.
