Reducing the Costs of Employee Overhead
When fewer employees and contractors need to report to a centralized work location, the company has the opportunity to reduce its cost structure, both immediately and over time.
Social Collaboration software reduces your company’s square footage requirements opens opportunities to consolidate existing real estate holdings or down-scale upcoming property acquisition plans. Fewer employees at fixed locations also can translate to lower energy bills and reduced spending on employee-dependent loadings like office furniture, parking spaces, security and food services.
A company with a 20,000 square foot metropolitan office location paying an annual market rate of $250 a square foot could achieve a 20% reduction its need for space by giving its staff SNSEPRO's Enterprise social collaborative platform to work remotely?
(20,000 ft2) x (20%) x ($250 cost per square foot) = $1.2M saved
And that doesn’t even include the savings from reduced power, heating and cooling consumption or employee productivity and fuel savings from fewer trips to the office |

Reducing the Need for Travel
Using collaboration to reduce business travel is among the easiest-to-measure business impacts.
Most enterprises have multiple activities or workflows that provide obvious opportunity to reduce travel expenses.
While remote collaboration is unlikely to ever completely eliminate the need for in-person meetings, most enterprises are surprised by the amount of travel that can be eliminated without reducing business effectiveness. As you assess the opportunity to reduce or eliminate travel-related spending such as airfares, surface transportation, meals and lodging, evaluate whether the use of collaboration tools like video conferencing and team web meetings could enable travel-prone personnel like executives or salespeople to be equally effective without leaving their primary location. |

Reducing collaboration and Training costs
A significant amount of business travel has traditionally involved employee training, whether conducted internally or in conjunction with partners and suppliers. Using collaboration tools to shift some or all training to a distance learning model showcases another key area of enterprises success.
“Deloy Insurance, for instance, trains an average of 1,000 new agents each year through their International training Centre. In the past, participation required attendees to travel to London at considerable expense to the company. Now, training is conducted using SNSEPRO’s Enterprise social collaborative platform, which allows the agents -- as well as guest instructors -- to fully participate remotely without having to travel to the physical centre.” |
