According to new research carried out by technology and telecoms consultancy BWCS, within three years, the increasing popularity of instant collaboration networks could save UK industry over £4.3 billion, annually in transport costs alone. Symon Blomfield, CEO of UK secure instant messaging company Presence Networks, explains: “Business people in the UK face a stark choice over the next few years; they can pay more and more to travel to the office and to meetings or adopt smart ways of working such as instant collaboration networks. These networks allow you to see immediately which of your colleagues is available and enable you to contact them directly and immediately, on the network, securely and for free, via messaging, IP phone links or by sending text from their PCs to mobiles.”
