Teleport Your Next Meeting
Marco CIO Steve Knutson was scheduled to speak to sales teams in Fargo and Grand Forks, North Dakota, over two days. The two 1-hour meetings would require 10 hours in a car, two days out of the office and one night at a hotel.
Without wanting to sacrifice the experience, he was set up to “teleport” to the meetings. Minus the travel time and extra expenses, the meetings went off without a hitch, in separate rooms, across a virtual table. Read Steve’s blog on Telepresence technology.

Telepresence Delivers a Clear ROI
The proof is in the numbers. Telepresence technology allows you and your employees to work more cost effectively and collaboratively with colleagues and clients around the world:
- Reduces costs associated with travel, lodging, and the valuable time you and your employees spend on the road
- Enhances employee work-life balance by allowing employees to work remotely while decreasing office space overhead and rental expenses
- Reduces duration of meetings – people tend to pay more attention when meeting face-to-face; conversation time can be cut in half
- Improves productivity through faster decision making – decrease wait-time for decisions in all work environments, including manufacturing, printing, marketing and sales.
- Creates a more unified corporate culture with employees across town or across the country by providing face-to-face collaboration
