Press Release Body: Oakville, July 9, 2008 - With the cost of crude oil continuing
to rise, business travel for meeting purposes can negatively affect your budget.
CTS Inc. Videoconference products and services can help you improve your
communication efficiency at lower costs while allowing corporations reduce their
impact on the deterioration of our environment.
Corporations frequently require employees, clients and business partners to travel
for the purpose of attending many different types of meetings. This results in loss
of productivity due to travel time, significant and rising expenses because of the
daily increases of crude oil and other related costs such as hotel rooms, meals and
entertainment. Converting to videoconferencing instead can eliminate most of these
expenses and productivity loss while conducting meetings as efficiently as if the
attendees were sitting in the same room.
According to Mike Streit, global leader of Advisory Services for American Express
Business Travel, the average domestic business trip costs more than $1,054 this
year. A company requiring to travel 2 people, 4 times a year, will therefore have to
disburse $8452 per year. Scott Carrothers, president of CTS Inc., stated: "if you
consider the cost of purchasing a videoconferencing solution versus the average cost
of business travel, your investment for the equipment can be recovered fairly
quickly and the equipment will last for an extended period of time turning an
initial expense into significant savings in a short order".
Business travel does not only impact budgets. it also contributes to Co 2 emissions
into the atmosphere and severely impacts the quality of the air we breathe.
According to environment specialists, reducing business travelling can greatly
contribute in eliminating tons of gas emissions released in the environment.
In order to make videoconferencing as accessible as possible and simultaneously
contributing to a corporation's bottom line while providing an opportunity to
participate in the improvement of our environment, CTS offers a videoconference room
rental service. With facilities in all major cities worldwide, anyone can rent a
room and conduct a meeting with people from all over the world. "Imagine the
convenience of this service for holding emergency or occasional scheduled occasional
meetings. For a fraction of travel cost, you can exchange information and make
decisions in no time with minimal impact on your schedule" said Jean Lapointe,
Marketing Manager for CTS. Videoconferencing equipment and network costs have
dropped substantially in the past several years. Combined with the soaring cost and
inconvenience of business travel, a videoconferencing solution has never been such a
logical investment. Plus you are helping the environment, so everyone wins!" adds
Kathy Angelow, National Sales Director at Corporate Telecom Services Inc.

environment are invited to consider this convenient, clean and productive business
