’Meeting Without Moving’’- Video Connections International FZ LLC in Dubai Reduces ‘’Carbon Foot Print’’

Video Connections International FZ LLC based in Dubai Internet City, UAE has through its video conferencing products and support services started to bring awareness in the region of reducing our ‘Carbon Footprints’ and harmful omissions from cars and other general public transport used by both individuals and local companies who are now deploying video conferencing systems within all 7 of the UAE Emirates.

Video Conferencing International FZ LLC current Blue Chip Client Base includes many household names such as Halcrow and the National Bank of Dubai, which has seen these 2 organisation now install video conferencing within the UAE, linking up the Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah offices to enable their office personnel to hold ‘’face to face’’ meetings without the need to travel within the UAE. As a result of this, Video Conferencing is starting to lead the way in making organisations both large and small become aware of the enormous benefits that video conferencing can bring not only to their organisation, but also help in reducing their carbon emissions and their company’s individuals carbon footprint.

In addition to the above, Video Connections International FZ LLC has also seen a dramatic rise over the last 12 months in video conferencing room hires, both from its Dubai Internet City office, where it hires it video conferencing facility by the hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and through organising video conferencing room hires on a worldwide basis. More and more recruitment companies are taking advantage of screening clients using video conferencing instead of flying them to the UAE for typically a 1 hour interview. This has enormous benefits to both the individual and the companies HR department in reducing their recruitment costs.
