One of the greatest aspects of working in the industry of online conferencing & collaboration, is we get to promote the concept of meeting online = green!

Today the technology of video conferencing allows us to meet face to face, and we can also be more efficient with our time, by avoiding annoying traffic jams. Also, in the meantime we get to save valuable carbon emissions. Check out the carbon calculator by Carbon Fund Organization, this tool allows you to see what your carbon footprint is.

The two pictures below, have more meaning, when reviewing efficient ways of working smarter.

Working Smarter:

The pictures above speak for themselves. Whether or not video conferencing is a solution to replace all your meetings, you can expect to use this as a tool to reduce travel & connect online. It’s ideal for discussing in person (via video), or to share your desktop and collaborate on the latest projects.

Would love to here your comments about traffic horror stories…sometimes you have to “feel the pain”, to realize the solution!

Plant a tree campaign

One of our partners at Batipi, Webex is offering to plant a tree for every trial account that signs up under their plant a tree campaign. We think this is a great initiative and encourage any of our clients to sign up for this trial. Once you have hosted 2 meetings under the trial, webex will plant a tree in your name.

Purchase Webex services from Batipi

I guess we should also plug, that we offer webex meeting services at Batipi. So once your finished your trial you can sign up for a pay-as-you-go account for a reduced carbon supporting rate of $0.21/minute. Send us your request or call us, to get your own webex account set-up, we only bill (electronic invoices of course!) for what you use.

Is it affordable?

Our Managed Meeting service provides a numerous array of pricing models depending on a number of factors such as, number of meetings, duration, number of attendees, meeting specifics (video, audio, presentation, application sharing, VoIP, etc), registration, customization, etc.

For example:

Company A wishes to have 2 meetings monthly for up to 60 minutes each. There will be up to 10 upper-level managers attending the meetings and they will be provided with all Batipi Managed Webinar features (video, audio, presentation sharing, pre-registration and training, in-meeting support, recording and archiving, customized video playback, etc).

The above meeting would run for about $60 per meeting, ie, $120 per month which is reasonably cheaper and more affordable for some individuals than a monthly plan.
