The suits behind the next-generation virtual office and professional networking Web site
5050Biz.com have
announced that the company finally found an idyllic balance between being environmentally-friendly and economically-efficient through its innovative, low-cost, easy-to-use subscription-based business solution.
By bundling together digital management, web collaboration, communication tools and social business networking into a virtual office, the company not only contributes to saving time and money with their groundbreaking workplace platform, but also has a clear check on minimizing waste and emissions.
With so many organizations looking to go green, 5050BIZ claims to offer a simplified mechanism.
“5050BIZ is a no-brainer, no maintenance, no software and no IT department necessary,” said Karen Connors, senior vice president of operations at 5050BIZ.
The “2009 Urban Mobility Report,” published recently by the Texas Transportation Institute, reveals that time wasted commuting in traffic totaled 4.2 billion hours, or approximately one full work week for every traveler. The same 2009 Urban Mobility Report has indicated that vehicles are heavy contributors to air pollution; limiting work-related transportation time would cut the environmental impact greatly.
Simply eradicating the daily office commute and face-to-face networking can translate into a great deal of savings each year, clarified the company. It also said that Organizations and individuals can increase their efficiency by utilizing a single web site, which allows them to easily communicate with peers, share ideas, exchange documents, perform online conferencing and collaboration management, seek new employees and even advertise. This streamlining of day-to-day office procedure, according to 5050BIZ, cuts out the time spent searching for these different tools, learning how to use each and involving an IT department.
From reducing emissions during travel time, to going paperless through virtual document exchange and bulletin boards, to utilizing virtual advertising mechanisms and eliminating excess paper waste, the company’s solutions are more eco-consciousness.
“The really noteworthy news is that American business and industry has discovered the true power and competitive advantages offered by energy efficiency such as LED lighting, re-commissioning their buildings, and creating virtual work platforms for their staff,” said David Mattocks, president of GreenPro Systems, a company that helps business green their bottom line.
Reportedly, demands for cooling, heating and lighting in a virtual office are much more modest that those of a larger office space.
