http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/sametime/?cm_mmc=agus_iteplotv-20090615-usi... Leslie Moore discusses how she utilizes collaborative tools to decrease travel costs while communicating more quickly and effectively. In addition to helping the bottom line, this move also demonstrates Colgate-Palmolive's commitment to the environment.

Leslie Moore, Colgate-Palmolive:
"I believe its changing for the better. Due to the economy, we don't travel as much. But it doesn't mean we have to stop business. Using the collaboration tools allows us to communicate quicker, more effectively, and actually be more proficient working with our employees, and also reaching out to our customer. In this way, Colgate is really benefiting the environment and also really including the whole company and letting them know we care about the company, but also care about the environment and care about the world as well."
