2007 was the year we made contact, a real close encounter of third kind, with the alarming feeling that all these scientists were right after all. We should have stopped driving our cars ten years ago. We had lost some comfort of course, but now we are in the fastlane to loosing our planet.
Well, maybe it is not that bad. But something has definetly happened, caring about the enviroment is very much in peoples mindsets at the moment. So much in fact, that even politicians have discovered the need to put some focus on the issue.
Inhabitants of Swyxville! I have good news for you! Our community is amongst the most enviromental friendy places on this planet. Why? Because we use SwyxWare.
Let's say you have 300 users on your system. That is one server right? What kind of TDM equipment would you need to provide these 300 users with a dialtone? A lot of metal, electronics and power. And 300 telephones made of plastic.
With SwyxWare you have the choice to be enviromental friendly. You can use your PC as the phone. You save the nature. Think about what kind of resources that are needed to produce and transport just hardphones alone. Sure, we have SwyxPhones. But the point is that you have the choice of beeing a more enviromental friendly user.
But what about the powerconsumption and production of switches and PCs? Well, the beauty of it all is that the switches and PCs would have been there anyway. And in addition you would have the telephone system. So by using the network and PC for one more task is actually a kind of recycling of the system.
And let's go further. You can use SIP-trunks. No need to produce ISDN cards and have separate copperlines to the PSTN. By using SIP and also the Mobile Extension Manager, we are recycling the cellphone as well. You need only your cellphone now. And I bet you would have one of those anyway, right?
SwyxWare revelutionized the user friendliness and the ease of configuration as well. The customer can now in a very easy way do all the MACs themselves. No more need to call the engineer to get to the premises to use two minutes rewiring some telephone lines. And I guess he was not walking there. So we save the planet for some CO2 as well.
I am not a scientist or professor of any kind so I will not try to calculate the figures behind this. But I am pretty sure you got the idea.
I think it is time to put some green in the Swyx logo.
