Hey everyone,
I came across this recent research by In-Stat...
Strong efforts from major companies like Cisco, Microsoft, and IBM to promote media-rich productivity tools are boosting the prospects for video conferencing, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com).
The driving factors behind increased adoption and use are technology, bandwidth, and convergence, the high-tech market research firm says.
According to a survey of US businesses, the decision to use or not use video conferencing is no longer based on uncertainty over the quality of the experience among those who have tried it lately.
Furthermore, cost alone does not seem to be a hindrance of adoption or use. The shift to an IP environment that enables unified communications, presence, and mobile integration provides a technological environment where traditional video conferencing, as well as telepresence can become synergistic elements.
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
Current users of video conferencing are generally satisfied with their system and find value in the experience.
Past users are willing to reconsider video conferencing if the quality, usability, and cost are reasonable.
Video conferencing is beginning to resonate as a part of corporations’ commitments to “green” environmental issues, though this benefit can be leveraged more aggressively in the future.
Have a great week-end!

How to Make Meetings Green
Happy Monday Everyone,
With the growing attention on global warming, businesses are under pressure to be more environmentally conscious. And there's no doubt about it - business travel is a huge contributor to pollution.
Did you know that a flight from London to New York creates an average 1.2 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions?
Or that driving 500 miles per week creates an average 9 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year?
So how can you cut emissions to help the environment without sacrificing productivity?
Simple - collaboration and web conferencing services.
Your employees can work from anywhere, and stay connected to co-workers, customers, vendors and partners who are critical to business.
They can give a presentation, review documents, or demonstrate software without getting in a car or flying on a plane.
An average employee with a one way commute of 22 miles can save up to 81,000 MJ of energy by telecommuting. That's about 50% of the annual electricity consumption of an average household!
Saving the planet is not as difficult as you might think. Especially if you use simple to use, all-in-one VideoLive Conferences.
Your children and grandchildren will appreciate your efforts in making a greener world - by making your meetings greener.
