BT Conferencing recently announced the availability of Engage
Tracker, a travel and carbon savings tool that helps companies
document monetary savings resulting from the use of video
conferencing. With real-time reporting capabilities, the tool is
able to calculate employee travel costs avoided through the use of
video conferencing, as well as carbon emission reductions resulting
from reduced travel.
Engage Tracker facilitates accurate tracking of cost savings using
the customer’s own data, not estimates or models. Travel
savings can include avoided air travel and per diem costs. Carbon
emission reductions are calculated based on avoided air travel.
Jeff Prestel, GM of BT Conferencing’s Video Business Unit
said, “Our customers who use video conferencing want
concrete, measurable evidence of the technology’s benefits.
Engage Tracker provides them with cost savings to prove return on
investment as well as actual carbon emissions savings. Both are
critical to making a solid business case for continuing to invest
in video conferencing technology.”
Engage Tracker is available as an add-on module to Engage Meeting
Manager, BT’s online scheduling and call launch tool.
