The Conference Coach™

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATLANTA, GA, September 30, 2008 — With the supply of gasoline at critical levels in the Southeast following  hurricanes Gustav and Ike, many local businesses are turning to telecommuting and conferencing technologies to save money. Telecommuters using web and audio conferencing are able to stay home to conduct business and still maintain productive. With regional offices in Roswell, Georgia, Copper Conferencing has experienced an increase in conferencing usage during the past two weeks.

“Our phones are busier than ever as current and new customers ask for help in setting up telecommuting practices and expanding their use of conferencing as a best practice for smart business, but in particular among workers who are in the affected areas,” said Kathleen Thompson, Manager of Customer Care for Copper Conferencing.

“The pain of waiting in long lines at the fuel pump can be minimized by running daily business using Copper Conferencing’s web and audio conferencing. As the gas shortage in the Southeast has escalated, our Conference Coaches have been teaching clients to maximize the use of conferencing in their day-to-day businesses. We’ve shown traditional businesses how to use web and audio conferencing tools to reduce commuting and eliminate long distance travel,” said Brad Dupee, chairman and CEO. In addition to reducing travel, the implementation of long term conferencing strategy can have a positive and immediate impact on the bottom line for any business.”

Predictions by industry experts indicate that the fuel shortage in the Southeast will continue for at least the next week to 10 days largely due to disruptions in refining capacity from recent hurricanes. And as people across the Southeastern United States look for creative ways to continue business while confronting continued travel-related hassles, Copper Conferencing remains a viable option for reducing travel and easing the pain of high fuel prices, long lines and positively impacts both the working environment and the bottom line.
