How can unified communications help a company ‘go green’?
Unified communications (UC), an integrated means of communications, is used to optimize the flow of information across an organization by integrating real-time and not-real-time communications components with a consistent unified user interface and experience across multiple devices and media types. By utilizing UC services, you can make it possible for all of your employees to work from home one or more days per week. This can really improve employee morale and productivity, all while reducing CO2 emissions since employees will be driving less. Not only that, UC can enable you to keep key employees when they have to move to different cities. Instead of searching for new jobs in a difficult market, they can work from home all of the time. Not to mention the time, money and headaches you’ll save by not having to interview, hire and train new employees. By eliminating the need for much of the in-house communications equipment, you’ll be able to help the environment in several other ways.
