Conclusions From Volcano Flight Ban: Web and Audio Conferencing Ensure Full Business Continuity

MUNICH and LONDON, April 22, 2010 - From time-critical project management and legally binding shareholder
meetings, to get-togethers with important business partners: companies can't
go without customer communication and interaction with employees for even a
day. That's why the partial closure of European airspace has hit them hard.
While overflowing trains and jammed roads are no acceptable alternative, web
and audio conferencing is the ideal way to ensure business continuity,
despite uncertain forecasts. In fact, virtual working meetings with Premiere
Global Services (PGi) are far more than just an emergency backup in case of
bird flu, natural disasters, diplomatic crises or terror alerts. Due to
economically measurable benefits virtual meetings are now an integral part of
the way companies of all sizes collaborate each day.

Minimised travel expenses and workflow acceleration have made web
conferencing a business standard. It attracts companies with team functions
such as collaboration on files or whiteboards for brainstorming. There is no
need to install any software or check hardware capacities. PGi provides the
entire infrastructure 24/7. With the web based concept of "Software as a
Service" customers get immediate access to top solutions from Adobe,
Microsoft, IBM or Cisco WebEx.

"In terms of efficient work processes, increasing cost pressures are
making business travel increasingly superfluous. The flight ban has
intensified this trend. Virtual meetings", John Stone, Managing Director
EMEIA at PGi, is convinced, "are now part of risk management, because
business-critical appointments cannot be cancelled without damage."
