C&W, Regus and Polycom make remote working a reality

Regus currently offers the world’s largest network of publicly accessible video conferencing rooms with more than 600 studios. Regus locations in world business capitals including London, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Manchester, Mumbai, Moscow, Frankfurt, Paris, Shanghai, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo will be fitted with the suites giving business leaders a cost-effective alternative to executive travel.

As the global economy tightens businesses are attempting to control costs, become more competitive and address the green agenda by reducing their corporate carbon footprint. This enables businesses to achieve all three objectives without the usual high capital costs associated with installing high-end video conferencing systems.

Mark Dixon, Regus CEO said, ‘In 2008 Regus experienced a 40 per cent increase in video conference bookings over the previous year.  Companies who utilise this virtual tool will save time and money on business travel while minimising their impact on the environment. We are revolutionising how people meet by delivering services that will optimise their performance.’
