BT is offering video conferencing customers a tool for tracking their travel and carbon footprint savings.

BT Conferencing has announced the availability of Engage Tracker, a travel and carbon savings tool that helps companies document monetary savings resulting from the use of video conferencing.

Engage Tracker facilitates accurate tracking of cost savings using the customer’s own data, not estimates or models, said BT.

Jeff Prestel, general manager of BT Conferencing’s video business unit, said, “Engage Tracker provides customers with cost savings to prove return on investment as well as actual carbon emissions savings. Both are critical to making a solid business case for continuing to invest in video conferencing technology.”

BT said "several" global enterprises have already piloted Engage Tracker, and have logged thousands of avoided trips, millions of pounds saved and thousands of tons of carbon emissions avoided when estimated on an annualised basis.

Engage Tracker is available as an add-on module to Engage Meeting Manager, BT’s online scheduling and call launch tool.
