Before this enterprise’s Cisco TelePresence installation, a conference meeting having 20 executive staff members would have been problematic, if not downright impossible. But via the use of Cisco Telepresence, not only is it conceivable, it is very efficient and also gives substantial cost savings to the enterprise.

The end results are articulately summed up in this statement from the CEO of this enterprise, “We recently held a single Cisco TelePresence conference meeting for 20 executive members to deliberate on an urgent matter. I’m convinced that we were rewarded for our whole Cisco TelePresence investment with the returns from that one conference meeting.”

And while there are fewer members using the enterprise boardroom, efficiency has improved, executive and employee staff member satisfaction is higher, and everybody is spending more time dedicated to their priorities.

 An Enterprise is able to eradicate 20,000 Executive Business Jaunts

When this enterprise was looking for a vigorous solution to take advantage of the accumulated know how of 214,000 staff members globally to enhance their business operations and increase outputs and efficiencies, they agreed that the solution would have to be simple and scalable, hence they selected Cisco TelePresence for this purpose.

At the initiation of the project, the enterprise department selected a few critical conference meetings on which to examine the new Cisco TelePresence solution, including the annual executive board conference meeting. Board members of the staff travel from all around the world to Paris for a 2-hour conference meeting costing the organization a lot of wasted time and unnecessary expense.

The pilot board conference meeting was a great success (to the relief of this enterprise!) A manager at this enterprise enlightened us that, “A few of the early reactions to our Cisco TelePresence systems were initially ‘wow, how can we have this adapted this into our organization? The unadulterated immersive and collaborative response, along with the capability to reach out and interconnect with teams all over the world or on the other side of town is extremely powerful’ It has been seen as a huge advantage by the executives, something instantly accessible and not too costly”

The successes with Cisco TelePresence spreads out beyond the conference room:

–          Reduce travelling incurred costs by €100 million over an extended three-year period by hosting 43,000 conferences and meetings

–          Minimized CO2 emissions by 240,000 metric tons over this same three year timeframe

–          Concurrently enabled staff executives to make improved use of their time by minimizing the quantity of trips for management executives by 20,000

–          Eradicated 15,000 employee business jaunts
