Conferencing
Quickly book and manage web and audio conferences – and reduce employee travel time, expenses, and carbon emissions.
In the face of escalating travel costs and concern for the environment, 7 out of 10 organizations are now encouraging employees to use audio and web conferencing instead of travel. One company, British Telecom, for example, utilized conferencing solutions and saved an estimated $285 million while reducing its annual carbon emissions by 54 thousand tons.
Despite these opportunities, few companies make it easy for employees to find and use conferencing services from preferred providers. As a result, employees often use providers that charge higher rates, and waste time looking up access codes.
Using the Rearden Personal Assistant, employees can quickly book and manage web and audio conferences with preferred partners, saving up to 50%, without being required to remember access codes. They can invite attendees directly from their address books, and have reservation details automatically inserted into their calendars. Companies can communicate important cost information to employees as they reserve their conferences, offering superior service at highly competitive rates.
