Work green with business transactions over the Internet

24SevenOffice is a web-based business system that creates a greener way of doing business. Through the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, customers rent access to business applications via the Internet, creating a range of environmental advantages for their companies.

100% virtual workplace – more home offices

Through technological advances such as broadband, IP telephony, instant messaging, video conferencing and the growth of solutions within the Software as a Service (SaaS) concept, it is now possible for staff to be available without being physically present. In this way, they can do more work from home and become less dependent on physical movement to do their jobs. This in turn generates less traffic and pollution, in addition to making the working day more efficient because employees do not have to stand in queues for hours just to get to work.

Web and video conferencing – fewer business trips

24SevenOffice has integrated the world’s leading web and video conference solution into its business system. Using WebEx web conferencing, you can have more frequent and more productive meetings, while halving the time you spend on them and your travel costs. Aircraft travel causes a large proportion of climate emissions and many companies have woken up to the advantages of using more web and video conferencing.

Shared server park – reduced power consumption

By renting access to the business system over the Internet, users avoid investing in their own server parks and the associated energy consumption problems. Most businesses today have more servers than they need, and many of them are old, inefficient and frequently standing idle. Since all 24SevenOffice users do business through the same server parks, this amounts to a formidable reduction in energy consumption.

Electronic invoicing – less paper

Through the 24SevenOffice economy module, invoices can be sent electronically, so saving print and paper too. Companies use an enormous amount of paper on invoices. In 24SevenOffice, all enclosures are scanned into the system and the company can immediately send paper for recycling instead of storing it all for ten years as is the normal practice today.

Fewer electronic units – less environmentally harmful waste

With a web-based business system, the user needs only a laptop to get started – in other words, the need for your own server park is eliminated. With IP telephony integrated into the system, the PC can also be used as a telephone, so no separate unit is needed for this. Since all speech traffic uses the broadband line, the company also avoids unnecessary cabling. All this contributes to a substantial reduction in electronic waste.
