A large global designer and manufacturer of space hardware and systems was spending a large amount in travel expenses. With 300 employees in the United States, Canada, and Europe, as well as 9 locations worldwide, in person collaboration was not only expensive, it was frustrating the company’s resources. There was no local implementation for conferencing therefore, participants had to connect via an offsite portal, which caused delays and inefficient interactive functionality. In addition, there was limited, if any sharing of infrastructure and information technology data between the multiple regions and their manufacturers. There was a need to build an internal communications platform that would allow file sharing and video conferencing with an end goal of increasing efficiency and productivity while simultaneously decreasing travel expenses.
