Pass the Video Conferencing ROI Calculator Around
Posted on Fri, Feb 18, 2011
It is so astonishing on how much we spend on traveling these days for things that last only a few hours. We all would love to have a healthier life and have more social time to do the things we love, outside of the office. This would involve leaving the office on time, not spending 3 hours a day in our cars, and having extra money in our pockets. Now if we had a tool that could make this easier for us, I believe the freeways would be a happier place.
People, we do have a tool and many of us use it on a daily basis; video conferencing. We use it in our workplace or our mobile video chatting devices. We use it to talk to someone down the hall or in another state. We use it for training, hiring and presenting. Have you ever come across a calculator that made you realize that all these things can be done sitting down, no transportation needed. I came across this Polycom video conferencing Return on Investment (ROI) calculator that gave me some shocking totals. It shows financial savings in travel vs IP and ISDN, workdays and trips saved, saved nights away from home, and months of expedited payback by using IP vs ISDN.
Give it a try, its very user friendly. Just type in your estimated numbers and it totals out what you should be saving. This ROI calculator will help out many companies as to seeing where their future and bank accounts are headed. You will minimize the world’s carbon emissions, become a UC expert, reduce your travel patterns and direct your focus on a more balanced life.
