April 2, 2003—Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, a management and IT consulting firm, has chosen MeetingPlace for collaboration between its thousands of employees and clients in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark. MeetingPlace is provided by Latitude Communications, a leading provider of secure, integrated voice and Web conferencing services.
“We originally calculated the return on investment at 18 months,” said Brian Bodsworth CIO (UK/Ireland) at Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. “But after we rolled out the system, employees rapidly scheduled meetings on MeetingPlace instead of traveling. This increased usage resulted in an ROI in just nine months. Our users particularly liked MeetingPlace’s Outlook integration, which makes scheduling and attending meetings simple. The solution is an integral part of doing business.”
