Carbon Dioxide Tracking in Adobe Connect Pro - What's your Footprint?

Footprints Carbon Savings Calculator for Adobe Connect Pro

With the New Year starting and many companies looking to implement web conferencing and eLearning to reduce their costs as well as the environmental impact of their operations, we're proud to announce the new version of Footprints, the Carbon Savings Calculator pod for Adobe Connect Pro.

Footprints calculates the Carbon and the Financial savings for every meeting you run in ACP and tracks the results for your entire organization with a sophisticated back-end analytics engine.

You can track the savings silently or display the impact to your attendees so they can see what your organization is doing to protect the environment. The tool shows attendees the Carbon and Financial impact of their participation as well as the distance saved, plus they also get to see the impact for the entire meeting and the total impact your oganization has had on the environment for the entire year.

You can download a Free 30 Day Trial of Footprints for use in any Connect Pro Account.

Footprints is the perfect complement to any Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program.

New Web Widget feature added to Footprints Carbon Savings Calculator

Just as a follow up to the previous post, we've now added a new Widget feature to the Footprints tool that allows you to report on your organizational savings right on your own web site.

The Footprints Manager now auto-generates HTML code for you that you can add to any web page to report your organizational savings in real time. You can use one or multiple widgets and apply styling to provide a wide range of effects (see our widget example page) to meet your needs.

Now your Intranet or Extranet sites can include real-time displays of your Carbon Savings, Financial Savings, or Mileage Savings achieved through the use of Adobe Connect Pro web-conferencing and collaboration.

Widgets can display your total corporate savings since any defined start date, and/or display the results only for a specific department or client - the choice is yours.

You can also choose to display your results in any one of 10 currencies and in your choice of metric or imperial measures.

If you have any other ideas that you think we should incorporate in the tool, please let us know. All of our products are built based on user feedback.

We only have one planet... every little bit we can do to make it a better place is a step in the right direction. With Connect Pro you can not only help the planet, you can help your bottom line too, by reducing unneccesary travel while facilitating better collaboration.
