Companies in the energy and utilities sector can only grown if they serve their customers and workers more effectively that their competitors. Utilities can improve profitability and strengthen relationships by implementing visual communication solutions through their organisation.

Improve Communication Utilities companies must be in regular communication with the many third parties they deal with, such as engineers, geology firms and refineries, alongside communicating with rigs, offices, headquarters and remote workers. Video communcation solutions reduce the need to travel, allows face-to-face meetings at any time and provides the means to a faster time to response, therefore reducing costs. |

Employee Traning and Retention One manjor challenge for companies in the oil, gas and energy industry is employee retention. People spend months at remote sites, with long hours working and little contact with the outside world. |

Crisis & Response Management With workers offshore, in disaster prone areas and in politically unstable regions, improvement in crisis mangement to ensure the safety of employees is key. Communication between legal & government bodies, hospitals, fire officials and health & safety workers must be well coordinated and reliable when needed. By implementing high definition video communication solutions with VideoCentric, the proper resources can be called to the correct emergency situations. |

Telemedicine to Remote Locations Most fuel exploration sites are the homes of hundreds of workers for months at a time. There is usually limited access to healthcare, and if a worker becomes ill or injured the situation needs to be assessed locally or via the phone. Removing a worker can be very costly and the time involved in reaching the site can mean the difference between life & death. |

Remote Technical Expertise By using video conferencing, real-time data can be processed by experts and can be displayed graphically in 3D seismic models, enabling the drilling crew to be advised exactly where to drill by experts, giving onshore technicians the ability to support multiple rigs. VideoCentric and Cyviz have an exciting partnership for this situation where we offer outstanding quality 3D display walls with HD telepresence for highly collaborative environments, and these have already been implemented in some of the worlds largest energy companies. |

Meet environmental targets Oil, Gas, Energy and other utilities companies have to reduce their environmental impact which can prove to be exceedingly difficult in this sector. Video conferencing lowers a companies carbon footprint and studies show that 80% of workers and 53% of consumers prefer associating with green brands. "100 employees working at home one day a week saves the carbon equivalent of a forest the size of five football fields." If your organisation has environmental targets to meet, VideoCentric can help meet those targets by reducing travel by up to 30%, and by telecommuting, work is not disrupted by adverse weather conditions such as the recent snow, and environmental disasters such as the icelandic volcano eruptions. |
