the Impact on Brand Values" done by TANDBERG and IPSOS MORI. 

• "On Average, customers say that by implementing a visual communication program, they are able to reduce unnecessary business travel by 30% and achieve ROI within the first year on implementation."

• Audio visual solutions help with the concerns about rising gas prices and congestion.

• 81% of employees in the US agree with the statement "I would prefer to work for a company that has a good reputation for environmental responsibility."

• "An average 5 day commuting workweek releases more the 5,000 pounds of carbon dioxide annually, per employee." "With desktop units and mobile, PC-based video that is accessible to every employee, it is a solution for telecommuters to stay visually connected to the office" while decreasing their carbon footprint.

• Organizations find that "employees who participate in telework programs have higher retention rates and lower sick rates."

• Video allows organizations to have accelerated decision making by bringing their best and brightest together in one place when they need them, without people traveling or needing to deliver materials.

• By using video conferencing and digital signage, leaders are able to unify their organization by making sure everyone is on the same page. With all of the employees going in the same direction, they can make decisions more confidently and act independently.

• Digital signage can decrease the amount of paper used in both internal and external communication with instant modification options.

• Job satisfaction improves when people don't have to travel. As a result, companies have an easier time recruiting and retaining employees.
