Phone Systems Type Virtual

There’s a diverse range of methods when it comes to helping the environment, from recycling your waste to leaving the car at home – but for World Environment Day, you can go that one eco-friendly step further; cuddle a computer.

According to Imago Communications’ Clint Cronje, hugging your computer screen on June 5 will have a bigger impact than that of hugging a tree, and what better way to celebrate this occasion than by showing your electronic equipment some ‘conservation closeness’.

Due to several workers undertaking a ‘work-from-home’ approach, the idea of teleworking  and connecting to their workplaces through smartphones, computers as well as videoconferencing has enabled many to take a more environmentally friendly disposition, and small businesses as well as cash-starved governments have taken particular interest in these cost effective solutions, investing more than ever into virtual meeting initiatives.

Researchers in the US have said that enterprises could spend anything up to $5 billion on videoconferencing by 2015, and whilst large sized conference rooms are considered a popular source for virtual meetings, many more are adopting the smaller Skype system for the desktop.

With the recession affecting many businesses, numerous organisations are realising the benefits of remote working and video conferences – with global revenue for VC technology increasing to 18 per cent in 2010, hitting the $2.2 billion mark.
