That IBM story is a good data point. I'm sure there are many more like it - something we should be tracking more regularly. I have one client whose CEO last summer set a target of reducing intra-company travel by 50% for 2008. Don't if she accomplished that goal, but it's an aggressive one that could only be achieved with online collaboration. Thanks Jenny. That IBM story is a good data point.

My head is also buzzing with a followup post, still taking shape that the call inspired. Meantime I thought you might be interested in a $$$ figure to support your case for use of online collaboration. Via @tomraftery on Twitter I saw: "Last year IBM saved $97M in travel costs by using online collaboration instead #ibmpulse " Apparently the IBM Pulse is an IT infrastrucure conference just held in Las Vegas. Googling #ibmpulse gives a flavour.
