HVC waste recycling company ties videoconferencing in with company mission
HVC is a modern and innovative waste recycling company. It is jointly owned by 55 municipalities in the Dutch provinces of North Holland, South Holland and Flevoland. HVC's activities include collecting waste materials, recycling and composting, waste incineration and supplying power and heat, whereby the highest environmental yield at the lowest possible cost is of the utmost importance. Five HVC sites in the Netherlands - Alkmaar, Dordrecht, Middenmeer, Velsen and Lelystad - have recently started making extensive use of videoconferencing for meetings and training purposes. HVC is acutely aware of its responsibility towards humans, the environment and society as a whole and the climate-friendly aspect of videoconferencing in particular was one of the reasons for investing in this technology.
Yvonne van Loon of HVC's Communication department and project leader for procurement of the video conferencing systems explains: "HVC invests in the innovation of both operational processes and business organization. The company invests a lot of effort in improving processes and, often together with others, in technical innovations. Conducting meetings using a video link slots in well with the company's philosophy, but also compliments our ongoing efforts to find the perfect balance between sustainable business practices and costs."
Videoconferencing specialist Talk & Vision in Linschoten was engaged for the implementation. The HVC management team was extremely impressed by the fast and flexible delivery of the equipment and the other services on offer from Talk & Vision.
Talk & Vision arranged a series of user training courses for HVC staff with the catchphrase "If you can fall off a log, you can use videoconferencing". This substantially reduced the resistance to videoconferencing. The participants were so keen that they promoted the system among their colleagues and soon videoconferencing became part and parcel of daily operations. All internal meetings are set up within the company itself, but Talk & Vision Services takes care of all video conferencing links to external companies both locally and abroad.
The modern-day TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile systems are used extremely intensively internally, both by the Central Works Council and management and other corporate services. Videoconferencing is user friendly and it is already noticeable how much time is saved by conducting meetings in this manner. Armanda Smit from HVC's Communication department concludes: "We haven't yet converted the savings into a tangible number, but we already notice that we are working more efficiently by saving on travel time both during work and private time."
