BrightCom Promotes a Greener Earth with Energy Efficient Video Conferencing

Huntington Beach, CA, April 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Going green can help many businesses save their green - money that is. According to BrightCom™, the performance leader in integrated video and telepresence conferencing solutions, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint while benefiting from an increase in collaborative productivity and a reduction in operational cost.

In a recent study, BrightCom found that by replacing internal travel with video conferencing systems, a company could save an estimated 40% of their travel budget. Not only does this allow for business to re-appropriate operational costs effectively as well as increase the level of productivity of their employees, but it also allows them to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions used for air and ground travel.

Businesses with several dispersed locations in small geographic areas, such as First California Bank that has 12 branch locations in southern California, have been able to reduce travel time and money, fuel production and costs of paper and postal services by implementing BrightCom video and data conferencing for internal communication and collaboration.

Bob McCandless, CEO of BrightCom, said “Global climate change is a very serious problem, and although many businesses are focused on the nation’s current economic conditions, they cannot forget that their operations and carbon footprint are continuing to effect the environment.”

“Advanced collaborative technologies”, continued Mr. McCandless, “such as telecommuting, permanent video enabled conference rooms, distance learning, and collaboration through telepresence and video conferencing help businesses to eliminate their excessive amounts of fuel, paper, oil and gas production. Simultaneously, these technologies aid businesses by improving their bottom line through the reduction of energy, paper usage and travel costs.”

“Every little bit helps and the world has an excellent opportunity to use this technology to craft new and efficient ways of working and communicating.”
