Ireland is in the ideal position to recover from the recession very quickly and that the only thing holding things up is that Irish people can’t see it themselves”

Tom Murphy has worked as a producer/cameraperson specialising in current affairs and documentaries filming in many different environments, hostile and otherwise, throughout the world. In 1982, he spent three months behind the Russian lines in Afghanistan with the Mujahidin making a documentary. He has won Emmy awards for his coverage of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, a Moscow documentary shoot and for his footage of the Iraq War, filmed over more than three months in Baghdad in 2003, some of which was used in the Michael Moore film “Fahrenheit 9/11″. He was at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on 9 November 1989. All the earliest pictures of Germans breaching the Berlin Wall were Tom’s. His assignments have included the Bosnian War, US operations in Somalia, the 1994 Sarajevo marketplace bombing and, from 2004 through to 2008, location filming in the Korengal Valley and Helmand Province, Afghanistan with American military forces. More recently he received a Polk Award for secretly filming in Burma in the aftermath of the Saffron Revolution. His most recent assignment took him on a tour of four African countries documenting the growing influence of both China and America in the region.

Are the Irish real entrepreneurs? Frank Hannigan will argue that they are, Yanky Fachler will argue that it is a myth and Ron Immink is somewhere in between.

Not only can you save time, money and of course travel bringing people together over the web, now you have a reliable way to protect and follow up on those meetings. You no longer have those “minutes” transcribed for distribution, now you know exactly what was said. The added bonus is how people reacted to your suggestions through body language. Facial expressions are essential in understanding the reaction to your proposals. Training, coaching and understanding when to stop talking can all be key factors during a meeting.  The example below in collaboration with Irishdebate.com we have recorded the Irish Minister for Transport discussing his thoughts on “proper planning”. Over 20 people logged in. Not everyone had a webcam not everyone had a microphone but everyone could hear the Minister and see him sitting at his constituency office in Dun Laoghaire. Guest’s attended from all over Ireland and Europe.

The meeting is fully encrypted and when the meeting is finished you are provided with a recording to download.

Part 1. of the video conference can be found on http://www.irishdebate.com

If companies learned anything from the Icelandic  Eyjafjallajokull Volcano they should start planning for possible further interruptions or (eruptions) to business.

Online meeting rooms were approached by the organisers of the Inaugural Green IT Summit. Minister Eamon Ryan responsible for Communications Energy and Natural Resources spoke at the event.

in conjunction with ICT Ireland and the Irish Software Association, the inaugural Green IT Summit is a major conference focusing on how and where you can make green IT deliver business value. This gathering of experts and peers aims to provide Irish businesses with an improved understanding of how they can go green and save money along the way.

Guest speakers and keynotes including Tom Raftery,  the lead analyst of GreenMonk and Energy & Sustainability analyst from RedMonk (Spain)  Jonathan Steel, Founder & CEO, Bathwick Group UK and Sonny Masero, VP, ecoSoftware EMEA, CA (UK) were unable to attend the event in Dublin due to the flight ban. Online meeting rooms were able to work cross platform and cross browsers to deliver the guest speakers directly into Croke park by way of video link. Presentations were delivered along with Q & A sessions after the presentations. All remote speakers were also able to see those that attended the venue as Tom Raftery indicated when he asked venue participants to raise their hands while assessing the roles of those assembled.

fantastic help from Joe at Green IT Summit yesterday in dublin. Well done, you saved our skins.

The question now is, what happens if this Iceland Volcano goes off again ? What will it take for companies to embrace “Green” Technologies like for instance video conferencing ? For one thing, this volcanic activity has shown the fragile nature of our dependence on air travel, hopefully it has also shown companies that business meetings can be conducted online. Online meeting rooms were given 36 hours to co-ordinate with the venue, the speakers, the av people and the event organisers. But, everyday companies still send their people on flights to some broadband available nation…  why ? Work practices and efficiencies must be found. To stay competitive as every well run business knows, no matter where in the world they are located, environmental and human impact in terms of stress on our planet and us is also a massive factor when you consider keeping your employees. Teleworking is now regarded by many as a major “benefit”.
