We have a client in the financial industry that regularly holds luncheons with a presentation to prospects about the services their firm offers. Realizing that they were missing out on additional prospects who were unable to physically attend for one reason another, this client reached out to TelSpan for assistance.
With a variety of platforms available, we were able to craft a solution enabling this client to broadcast out the audio portion of the event as well as the slide presentation, live over web and phone lines in real time. In this case, due to a lack of internet access at the luncheon facility, a TelSpan operator assisted offsite with pushing the slides for the remote audience, and coordinated the entire presentation with the speaker via the audio line. Remote attendees are able to access the presentation from anywhere with their pc and telephone.
Talk to us about how your next live event can reach an even larger audience!
Simulcast means “simultaneous broadcast” and refers to a program which is broadcast in multiple mediums. This great word may be applicable to your business!
We have found that a great many of our clients have a need to broadcast their live event in another manner. The great news is that there are a very wide variety of tools and platforms available on which to conduct your simulcast. We can help to customize the solution that works best for you.
Here is an example of a recent live event simulcast:
We had a client who needed to produce a live stream of a speaker. The client utilized the event facility’s on-site audio and video crew, who relayed a live audio/video feed to TelSpan. TelSpan created a customized website URL which was then made available to over 5000 members of the client’s organization. The clients simply clicked the link and were able to access the stream live. We are also providing this client with an archived recording of the event. They can offer this to their members year round via TelSpan’s platforms.
Next week we’ll look at another example.

Ways To Green Your Business (Part 3)
The past two weeks we talked about some small changes that your organization can implement in order to become greener.
Now let’s talk about conferencing. The great thing about using more conferencing within your organization, is that is has so many great benefits, besides just making your organization more green!
• Conferencing Saves Your Employees Time
Time saved by not travelling can be used with family and friend, increasing the satisfaction and morale of your employees.
• Conferencing Saves Your Organization Money
Savings are obvious through replacing airline and vehicle travel, hotel rooms, and lost productivity with conferencing, which is very inexpensive.
• Conferencing Greatly Reduces Carbon Emissions
Whether through reduced airline travel, vehicle commuting, or reduced office space, conferencing reduces carbon emissions. Air travel is currently one of the largest contributors to CO2 emissions.
• Telecommuting is Inherently Green
Telecommuting reduces not only travel carbon emissions, but can save energy as well. Organizations also benefit as studies show that telecommuters have increased productivity due to fewer distractions, and tend to work longer hours as they start their day earlier and end it later due to eliminating commuting time.
Conferencing solutions will never replace all in-person meetings, but even adding a small amount of conferencing to your organization’s mix will make you greener, save you time and money, and increase satisfaction of your employees. A true win/win!

Last week we talked about some small changes that your organization can implement in order to become greener.
Here are a few more ideas to consider:
1. Maximize the efficiency of your computer systems. Computers in the business sector unnecessarily waste $1 billion worth of electricity per year. Turn off your computer and the power strip when you leave for the day. (Be sure your IT department doesn’t need the computer to be on in order to run backups or other maintenance.) During the day set your computer to go to sleep automatically during short breaks. Screen savers do not save energy! Sleep mode does!
2. Change your purchasing habits. Purchase office supplies and furniture made from recycled materials.
3. Change your eating habits. Bring your own coffee mug and dishware and reuse them for office meals, or ask your organization to provide reusable dishes, silverware, and coffee mugs. Provide filtered drinking water in order to eliminate bottled-water waste.
4. Make your office healthier. Brighten your office space with live plants, which help reduce indoor pollution. Switch to nontoxic cleaning products.
Next week we’ll discuss more tips for Greening Your Business!
A few years ago being “green” was all the buzz. It seems to us at TelSpan that lately you don’t hear as much about it as you used to. What happened? We all still care about the environment don’t we?
I believe that as the economy has become more challenging, initiatives such as “greening” have taken a back seat to the basic functions needed to keep our organizations financially viable. There is also a perception among some that “going green” is expensive.
While construction costs of a LEED certified building may indeed be cost prohibitive, there are many little things that almost any organization can do to help “green” their business:
1. Ban styrofoam cups, disposable plates and silverware and instead provide employees with a reusable cup.
2. Start up or improve a recycling program by putting labeled bins in common areas. If your trash provider charges extra for recycling pickup, see if employees will volunteer to take turns hauling out the recycling and dropping it off or adding it to their home bin.
3. Reduce electricity usage. Artificial lighting accounts for about 44 percent of office building electricity use. Turn off lights when you leave a room and use natural light whenever possible.
4. Improve your printing habits. The average US office worker goes through 10,000 sheets of copy paper a year. Utilize two-sided printing, reuse the backside of papers as scrap paper, avoid color printing, and when possible, don’t print at all.
5. Store documents online. Instead of printing and filing, maintain an electronic document filing system.
Next week we’ll discuss more tips for Greening Your Business!
