Loudoun County has engaged The Telework Consortium Inc., of Herndon, to upgrade its telwork program. Loudounm, which has 92 government offices dispersed over 500 square miles, worked with the consortium in early 2005 to pilot a video and collaboration tool. The pilot has since been expanded, as has the role of telework, in helping the county address continuity of operations, the lack of space for an increasing workforce, and growing traffic problems.

As a part of the turnkey agreement, Telework Consortium provides county officials with a desktop collaborative (video, audio, and data software) Internet Protocol-based environment, dedicated server hosting, application training on the collaborative software, and a customer support desk.
