Regus, the leading global provider of innovative workspace solutions, today announces the launch of the world’s largest public access video communication (VC) network. The 2,500 VC suites, available through the Regus website, and made up from its own centres and partner facilities, has a footprint which covers 115 countries and 1,110 cities and suburban areas. Regus customers in the UAE and other markets across the region can now enjoy the benefits of this new video communication service.
The growth in Regus VC facilities offering is a response to increased demand for the solution amongst customers worldwide including the Middle East region where Regus has fully equipped and serviced. For the 12 months ending Dec 2009, Regus experienced a global average increase of 22% in VC bookings.
This supports a recent finding from research and advisory company Gartner that the value of the VC market is set to post a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.8 per cent between 2008 and 2013, rising from $3.8 billion to $8.6 billion . Regus asserts this is because businesses are looking for smart ways to reduce travel, the associated environmental impacts, and crucially, cost without compromising business operations; video communicating rather than travelling can be up to 75% cheaper with negligible carbon emissions.
