However, perhaps the biggest benefit comes in the shape of a reduction in the danger to the environment. This is often overlooked, but having the option of not sending an executive by public transport has a definite impact on the environment.
It prevents the massive amount of carbon emissions that result from a single air trip. It also stops the carbon damage that comes from using a car to travel from one place to the next. This makes for a greener company.
On top of that, the savings in a financial sense can be considerable too. Take the aforementioned air trip. The thousands of dollars that can result from having to send someone executive class can be saved by hooking up the executive on the Internet, and having the person or people he was going to meet with online too. The meeting takes place, and money is saved in a very big way indeed.
In fact, there really are not any arguments against online meetings. Technology is getting better, so the meetings themselves are conducted under clearer conditions. And you are guaranteed to save money if you conduct online meetings, simply due to the nature of the beast.
