Green Solution: Virtual Meetings
Technology integration and its shift toward virtual business practices has proven very valuable in e-learning and cutting travel costs, but it has also been valuable to the Earth. Since travel is typically the biggest greenhouse gas contributor (GHG), web and video conferencing are the best way for all of us to reduce our CO2 footprint by cutting down on travel. Anytime someone is able to go online to virtually have a meeting “face to face”, there is no need to travel to that meeting, thus eliminating driving and flying emissions.
Remember the old days, when you would attend a meeting and be handed a paper copy of the presentation? Now you can directly record the entire virtual meeting, along with the presentation and the comments/discussions. Effectively this enables attendees to take the information back and share with other employees, who would not have otherwise been able to attend. Thereby, aiding in increased training opportunities and saved expenses.
At Get Connect, we have a strong commitment to the environment and we actively implement measures to increase efficiency, conserve energy and water, improve air quality, and reduce waste. The Adobe Connect products allow you to be apart of this movement. We partner with Adobe to further this goal. From Adobe’s office buildings to their product packaging, they also continue to reduce their environmental impact.

U.S. Marine Corps Selects Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro for Mission-Critical Communications
For immediate release
Solution to Provide Deployed Troops Secure Web Conferencing and Collaboration
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Aug. 24, 2009 —Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the U.S. Marine Corps has selected Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro as its standard Web conferencing solution. As a tactical battlefield collaboration tool for deployed troops, Acrobat Connect Pro can enable Marines to communicate more effortlessly and securely across locations worldwide.
The enterprise license contract, awarded through Carahsoft Technology Corp., is valued at $9.5 million. It will enable the Marines to immediately include Acrobat Connect Pro as part of version 1.5 of its Tactical Collaboration Work Suite, a portable data center providing robust, highly available, highly scalable collaboration and hosting capabilities to deployed forces.
“Some of the world’s most secure organizations in financial services, life sciences, and government — including the U.S. Department of Defense — have turned to Acrobat Connect Pro as a real-time collaboration solution. It not only meets the government’s highest security standards, but also enables increased efficiency and communication across networks,” said Rob Tarkoff, senior vice president, Adobe’s Business Productivity Business Unit. “From planning to execution to debrief, Connect Pro can help the Marine Corps streamline information exchange and keep troops safe in mission-critical deployments.”
The Marine Corps cited several factors for adopting Acrobat Connect Pro as its collaboration solution. In addition to meeting stringent standards for security, availability and quality, the solution is Joint Interoperability and Test Command Certified, so troops and military leaders can connect quickly across any Department of Defense (DoD) network. Also, because Acrobat Connect Pro simply requires that users have Adobe Flash® Player, which is already installed on DoD computers and 98 percent of Internet-enabled desktops, it can be deployed in the field for reliable collaboration in extremely low-bandwidth environments and intermittent connectivity.
“We are honored to continue supporting the DoD in its procurement and adoption of Adobe’s enterprise collaboration solutions,” said Craig P. Abod, president of Carahsoft. “Adobe and Carahsoft also provide Web conferencing capabilities to DoD users worldwide through Defense Connect Online, and we recently were awarded a DoD Enterprise Software Initiative blanket purchase agreement for Adobe server products through which the Marine Corps placed its order.”
