Many businesses are now investing starting $250 per employee with Aivea for Collaboration Tools that delivers operational excellence.

SharePoint Technology Solutions delivered by Aivea can promote a greener computing and work environment.

1. Reduces Printing, Faxing and Shipping by having documents, directories, profiles, lists and items dynamic and viewable in soft copy online and offline and most even in mobile views. SharePoint can store million of documents and allows google type search that delivers results in split seconds.

2. Promotes Server, Network and Storage Platform Consolidation - Having Search, Content Management, Collaboration/File Sharing, Portals, Dashboards, KPIs, Reports, Email enabled lists, Surveys, Doc Mgmt, Records, Team Calendars, Forms, etc... Shut down many old systems that are no longer needed.

3. Reduces Business Travel - being able to quickly and efficiently communicate over long distances more and more people can get their jobs done remotely and on the go.  Partners can collaborate with partners, business to consumer, CEO to the employees, teams and v-teams all can more efficiently communicate with each other.  Obvious integration with Live Communication Server and Office communicator/Windows or MSN Communicator even real time presence is available.  Without contacting a person you can understand what meetings they have (with Exchange integration) and when they are available.  Out of a group of people you can quickly view who is available and reduce the amount of time it would take to get information saving power.  Reaching out and using Live Meeting obviously reduces the travel by having the meeting online, but getting connected and sharing the files, team calendar, reports and information over SharePoint is a major part of that exchange.

4. Reduces Energy Consumption - Think how much time you save by finding documents and information via search.  Search itself reduces a ton of work that would otherwise be duplicated.  So much of our time is spend looking for resources and references.  The time we save here is energy even lights in our office we otherwise would spend looking for data.  This time we save would be wonderful if it meant we spent less time in the office, it may mean a shorter weekend and less time in the office, but otherwise, it simply means you get more work done in the same time it would have taken.  You don't spend less time at work, you're simply more efficient.  That energy may reduce the time the company would have spent and reduce the amount of employees the company would have to have thus reducing the amount of office space and hence power, heat, light, etc... so by making employees more efficient they can either reduce the employees or simply get more done with less which is likely closer to reality. 

5. Reduced Emissions Remote Employees & Telecomuting - One key scenario for reducing emissions and not burning fossil fuels is simply not to come to work.  I like that idea. 

Go Green! Save the planet!
