The recession is Going Green

Why green?  Green is money.  Green is ecologically friendly.  If your business has been affected by the late economic slump, perhaps it is time to consider going green to help your cash flow move.  Your business does not have to suffer by going green.  A few changes of doing things differently in the office can help improve productivity, reduce expenses, and help the planet earth we call home.

What can we do to change things in the office?
Computers Off
For starters, schedule the computers to turn off after automatic updates, virus scan, and backups after business hours.  Each computer will save close to $15 of electricity per month.  If you have 10 computers, it will save $150 a month or $1,800 a year!  The cost of energy only increases with time.

Fax to email
If your company receives a lot of junk faxes or need to scan and digitize the faxes, consider a fax to email solution.  Cbeyond, our telecommunications solutions partner, offer FREE unlimited fax to email service with their T1 and telephone service BeyondVoice packages.  This feature has helped businesses save up to $500 a month on paper and ink & toners alone!  How much can your company save?
