"The market growth is primarily being driven by the relentless and unchecked globalization. Many company employees are nowadays spread across not only the entire country, but all over the world. Consequently, it is essential to find cost-effective ways to network the individual parties involved quickly and efficiently without incurring the overhead of expensive business trips every time".
Frost & Sullivan, August 27, 2009
“Due to global economic challenges, interest in Web conferencing is at an all-time high as companies look to cut costs.”
Gartner, November 2010
Enterprises are leaking incredible amounts of money each year because frequent collaboration with existing communications systems is not effective.
Employees spend an annual average of 11 days on internal team meetings requiring travel.
Unnecessary business trips translate to an expense of $3400 per person per year (in the U.S.) when travel is domestic.
When travel is international in nature, the annual expense jumps to $4070 per person.
