Also, growing interest in quantifying green benefits
BT Conferencing recently unveiled an add-on module to its Engage Meeting Manager (BT’s online scheduling and call launch tool) that calculates employee travel costs avoided through the use of video conferencing, as well as carbon emission reductions resulting from reduced travel. This offering highlights growing interest in quantifying green benefits and the ability to calculate ROI for tactical UC initiatives, such as conferencing. Three-quarters of organizations that quantify a video conference benefit also have a sustainability policy, according to Nemertes. In comparison, 71% of organizations that do not quantify a benefit also do not have a sustainability policy. Additionally, 69% of IT decision-makers say that positive ROI is “important” or “vitally important in their UC decision-making.
