Go Green with Hosted Communications Services | Converge ? DSCI

It?s springtime, and the world around us is becoming greener. Did you know that if you are using a hosted communications service, your business is getting ?greener,? too? Here?s how?

A Smaller Footprint, Figuratively and Literally

If you?re currently using a hosted VoIP system, you?ve probably noticed a smaller footprint already ? getting rid of that PBX freed up a lot of space in the telco closet. But did you know you?ve also reduced your environmental footprint? That equipment you eliminated was eating up electricity on a regular basis, and may have also required a climate-controlled room.

Those power and heating/cooling demands have now shifted from you to your hosted service provider. And because your provider is using centralized equipment to deliver services to many customers, the energy needed to provide just your company?s portion of these services is pretty small.

On the Road Again? I Don?t Think So!

A unified communications platform will give you many different options to communicate more effectively without having to travel. Work from home and have your business phone ring on your cell. Set up an IM chat session or a conference call to bring your team together quickly. Try a video call from your desk phone, your PC, or even your smartphone. Use a web conferencing tool for your next big meeting. Every little ?green? step you take now will add up to huge results over time. For example, our customers? use of our DSCI Web Collaboration service has already saved over 1.5 million miles of travel since its launch last fall; that?s roughly equal to 35,000 gallons of gas and 700,000 pounds of CO2 emissions saved!

The Landfills Are Full Enough Already

By switching to IP phones, you?ve now got the latest technology on your desk ? so it?s going to be a very long time before you?ll have to dispose of an outdated phone. If you?re just upgrading now and need to get rid of a bunch of old phones, there?s a great incentive for you to keep them out of the trash. The trade-in rebate program DSCI offers through our partner Polycom will put some money back in your pocket if you ensure that your old phones are properly recycled or disposed of.
