Agile working saves money | Gulliver | Economist.com

A short example of how unified communications (UC) help save money.

BRITISH TELECOM is saving itself £238m ($355m) a year through efficient use of conferencing... As a result of recent efforts to curtail unnecessary travel and focus ever harder on conferencing, BT says it’s reduced its expenditure on air travel and accommodation by around 70% in the last 12 months.

Although UC requires planning, up front expenditures, and bringing together traditionally separate teams (namely telecommunications and IT), the benefits are clearly worth it.
