Cisco TelePresence:Alternative To Business Travels
Desperate business times could call for new measures that could take the form of new technologies. For companies that don’t want to risk their executives traveling abroad and possibly contracting a disease, an IT solution like Cisco TelePresence might do the trick.
Cisco TelePresence makes use of integrated voice, video and data network and standard IP technology to deliver high-quality, real-time voice and video communications with branch offices using companies’ broadband connections.
It gives companies an alternative to business travels by allowing executives to sit in a room and face their partners, co-workers or clients located in different parts of the globe.
Cisco TelePresence is ideal when conducting executive meetings, job interviews, remote customer support, sales presentations, design collaborations, consulting and staff meetings, among others, all in real-time and in high-definition video.
Meanwhile, the WHO website reports that there are already a total of 70,893 laboratory-confirmed cases of H1N1 all over the world, of which more than 2,000 are in the Philippines. These numbers prove that there is nothing hogwash about H1N1.
The enemy continues to move fast; defeating it requires tools that are faster than fast. And that is exactly what technology does as it steps up to the plate to help save lives.

Business Impact of H1N1 Virus
Threats from infectious diseases give businesses today a lot to think about on top of concerns over the global economy.
In addition to the cost of human life, Veratect a startup technology company based in Kirkland, Seattle, stressed that the surge of Influenza A (H1N1) diseases can quickly wreak havoc on businesses (especially those with global operations), critical social infrastructure, and entire economies if early containment efforts fail. Smaller companies with fewer people can also experience staff shortage if their workers have to stay home because they are sick or have to care for the sick.
The World Bank estimates that a severe infection with Avian Influenza (H5N1) could kill at least 70 million people worldwide and cost $2 trillion and plunge the world into a decade-long depression.
