Success Story:
"Employees realise that videoconferencing has multiple benefits. We use videoconferencing across the entire company, particularly to bridge the 400 miles between our teams in Edinburgh and London."
Teresa Primrose,
Technical Development Manager,
Royal Bank of Scotland

Success Story:

"We were searching for a solution that would fulfil our business development initiatives to be faster, leaner and simpler, to improve costs and to reinforce our corporate culture; basically, we wanted a solution that would provide all the benefits of face-to-face meetings, without the negative consequences associated with travel."
Jane Hedley
Purchasing Manager, IKEA

Success Story:
Allan Jackson is a master of persuasion. As European Telecoms Manager for H. J. Heinz Co., he often has to cajole busy managers into trying new communication systems.
Last year, however, the tables were turned. The senior managers came to Mr. Jackson to say what they wanted. They wanted TANDBERG 1000 desktop video communication systems.
"That had never happened before," says Mr. Jackson, who is based at the global food company's office in Hayes, England. "Before, it was always the technology staff going to them and saying, 'Look at this. Try this.' When they came to us it signaled a change in the culture. People were thinking of video first and travel second."

H.J. HEINZ Co

Success Story:
"Prior to the introduction of videoconferencing systems, a business case was created, from this we predicted that the travel costs of our company in the next three years would fall globally by around 30 percent. After just one year, the acquisition costs for the systems have already been recouped."
Dr. Armin Hessler
Director of Global Web Enablement, Vodafone

Videoconferencing; the alternative to Business Travel, reducing costs and protecting the environment
An Ipsos MORI Business Travel Survey
By cutting down on business travel, organisations can not only reduce their direct costs but also their carbon emissions, simultaneously helping them improve their social responsibility standing. Add to this the ability to redress the work-life balance for their employees and the motives for change are clear.
As more and more companies come to this realisation, they are actively trying to reduce the need for their employees to travel on business. But what do business travellers make of all this? Do they think business travel improves or hinders their overall job effectiveness? Do they actually care about the impact business travel has on the environment? Do they recognise the impact of business travel on their work-life balance?

More

In summary organisations are looking to:

 

  • Reduce travel expenses
  • Access experts or employees in remote locations more easily
  • Improve work/life balance and higher employee retention
  • Improve your communication with home workers, customers, partners and suppliers
  • Raise employee satisfaction from faster decision making
  • Make more cost-effective use of chargeable employee time
  • Improve hiring decisions from a broader recruiting base
  • Improve the environment with lower hydrocarbon emissions, reduced fuel consumption, and less traffic congestion.
  • Speed up product development cycles and shorten time-to-market.

To answer these questions, TANDBERG teamed up with research firm Ipsos MORI to survey people’s attitudes in 15 countries. This survey is one of the largest global research projects into consumer attitudes toward climate change and its impact on corporate brands.
