LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/11/17 — Oblong Industries, Inc., the pioneer of interactive spatial operating environments for the new era of collaborative work, today announced the results of a commissioned Forrester Total Economic Impact Study that projects Mezzanine customer payback in 7.6 months and 226% ROI.
transforms routine meetings and workflows into agile, immersive experiences by making content more visible and accessible in a collaborative setting. We call this .
“While it–s easy to understand how capabilities amplify all aspects of collaboration,” said Oblong VP of Marketing Lilian Bories, “it–s more difficult for organizations to quantify these benefits in monetary terms. That–s why we commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study examining the value that realize by implementing Mezzanine.”
To quantify the complete value, Forrester–s primary research with Oblong customers was distilled into a composite organization — let–s call it CO — which is a global company with $2.5 billion in annual revenue and 1,000 employees. CO implemented Mezzanine for both external sales and internal collaboration workflows. Prior to Mezzanine, CO relied on face-to-face meetings and traditional collaboration tools (such as presentations, phone, and web/videoconferencing).
Forrester–s analysis focused on the following paths to Mezzanine ROI:
Improved internal workflow and collaboration
Positive impact on won/closed sales opportunities
Reduced time spent advancing qualified sales opportunities
Higher-level customer service delivery using Mezzanine
The top efficiencies contributing to the rapid payback and ROI:
$1.6 million saved from improved business processes
15% improvement in rate of closed and won opportunities
“These findings are the result of in-depth analysis,” Bories concluded. “But we realize your organization will be somewhat different than the composite organization CO. Thus we strongly encourage you to use the same framework to analyze the benefits your organization will experience using Mezzanine.”
Oblong–s customers include NASA, PwC, IBM, Fujitsu, and Accenture along with other forward-thinking Fortune 500 companies. To experience Mezzanine firsthand, .
