Insight Video Net Going Green Digital Asset Management Solution Provider to Operate Virtually in "The Cloud"
Insight Video Net, a provider of digital asset management software solutions for the public safety and government industries is transitioning their business to a virtual office environment to make a positive impact to the environment, contribute to a healthier work environment, and reduce costs in order to pass savings along to customers.
Rancho Cucamonga, CA, November 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Insight Video Net announced today that it plans to transition their brick and mortar operation to a virtual office environment in an effort to meet their corporate responsibility and sustainability goals. “This is an exciting change for Insight Video Net that allows us to make a positive impact to the environment and contribute to a more balanced and healthy lifestyle for our employees at the same time.” said Robert A. Carreon, CEO. “Given that we’re a high technology company, we have envisioned operating a virtual office for some time. With the current state of the economy, we were looking at ways to reduce costs so we could pass the savings on to our customers, so this move at this time made a lot of sense. This is a win-win situation.”
Leveraging current technologies like broadband internet, virtual private and secure networks, VOIP telephone, video conferencing and business centers will enable Insight Video Net to operate a virtual office environment that will network their employee base like a collection of satellite branch offices. When necessary, business meetings will be conducted through business center rentals allowing a broader reach. Employees will also be given training for creating a green home office environment that incorporates methods for reducing power consumption and recycling. “The transition is not expected to take place overnight,” stated Miles Cowan, CTO. “We will be making changes over the next several months in stages so there will be no impact to customer service and minimal disruption to employees. We anticipate the project to be completed shortly after the new year.” Insight Video Net sees the following benefits in making the transition to a virtual office:
Positive environmental impact
Employees currently collectively consume hundreds of gallons of gasoline and travel hundreds of hours per week to the corporate office in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. By employing virtual offices, Insight Video Net calculates that they will positively impact their carbon footprint through the reduction of Co2 emissions by 158 metric tons. This equates to the yearly use of electricity for 20 households, 4,053 fully mature planted trees, or over 289K miles driven by the average passenger car in just one year’s time.1 In addition, Insight Video Net’s CMS Flex software virtually eliminates the need for storing digital assets on CD’s or DVD’s, reducing cost for customers and reducing the amount of waste in the landfills.
Improved work-life balance
Employees are expected to realize many personal benefits from this eco-friendly virtual office environment including saving commute time, travel expenses, food expenses and other workday related expenses as well as a reduction in stress thereby contributing to better work-life balance. Studies have shown that not only does a virtual work environment provide higher employee satisfaction but also significantly increases productivity.2 Insight Video Net expects the virtual office environment to decrease operating expenses including leased space, furniture, and other office management expenses and they recently adjusted prices to pass the savings on to customers, making their solutions more affordable.
Increased social responsibility
Insight Video Net has a proven track record of demonstrating social responsibility and going green is the next logical step. One example of their social responsibility commitment is that employees are entitled to take an additional paid week off to do volunteer work of their choosing. In the past, employees have donated their time to helping refugees in Turkey, building orphanages in Romania and Mexico, and have contributed talents to help economic development efforts in poor developing cities in the United States.
About Insight Video Net
With deep experience in networked digital video and data management, Insight Video Net developed their Central Management System (CMS Flex) to manage video (both mobile and physical security) and other digital assets. Their extensive experience in the public safety environment provided a forum for Insight Video Net to develop powerful digital asset management tools that make it easy to automatically store, manage, and protect these assets as evidence. Public safety agencies, school districts, casinos, and retailers nationwide count on Insight Video Net for powerful, easy-to-use software, reliable system integration and ongoing support. Insight Video Net is a minority-owned business and was recognized in 2007 and 2008 by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce with the High Tech Business of the Year Award both locally and regionally.
