Mannheim, GERMANY March 24, 2009 – While some technology providers may find it productive to gather and discuss the importance of Green IT, BeamYourScreen stands strong on their opinion that such meetings are unnecessary. In light of the growing focus on Green IT, BeamYourScreen is urging companies across the globe to make the smart move of employing online collaboration solutions for both environmental and economic reasons.
The award-winning software provider, makes no mistake about emphasizing that the topic of Green IT needs to gain greater attention. However the company-s disapproval of meeting to discuss Green IT stems from its core value that traveling such long distances is harmful to the environment and can easily be avoided.
“Instead of traveling, companies can immediately adopt greener practices by organizing meetings over the Web,” explains Mr. Boos, Co-Founder of BeamYourScreen. “Employing online collaboration solutions can in fact allow companies to meet online and discuss the issue of Green IT itself.”
Since the development and appearance of online collaboration, the attraction to the technology has been the idea that using software and the Internet can significantly reduce a company-s travel expenses, not to mention the time saved. Needless to say, how to save on business expenses has never been a hotter issue than now, considering the current economic crisis. However, clearly the benefit of using BeamYourScreen-s online collaboration solution is two-fold for a company: save money and the environment.
According to the European Commission, cars are not to emit more than 130 CO2 g/km. However, currently vehicle emissions can reach over 200 CO2 g/km. Taking into account the European target figure of 130 CO2 g/km, a simple scenario can be created for example purposes:
Assuming one salesperson drives 70,000kms over the course of a year to visit prospects, this individual would be responsible for 9.1 tonnes of CO2 gas emissions come the end of year. Consequently, if a company with a field sales force of 30 people would simply use online meetings for just half of their sales demos, they could possibly save 136.5 tonnes of CO2 gas emissions.
At present over 1500 companies are benefiting from the BeamYourScreen technology, not to mention the environment that is benefiting from these companies who are actively eradicating thousands of tons in CO2 gas emissions. Further information available at http://www.BeamYourScreen.com.
