Cut Back on Travel

The average price of gasoline to fuel vehicles climbed to $3.50 a gallon in the U.S. by mid-April 2008. And the airlines have felt the pain of fuel increases too, increasing the price for tickets. So is it any wonder that companies may be looking to curtail travel costs both by car and by plane? With telepresence systems, such as the high-definition, immersive ones offered by Cisco on the high end or LifeSize on the value end, your end customers can still have face-to-face contact with their customers, partners and remote employees, but without the regular outlay for travel expenses.
