<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">TechSoup's first discounted phone system package is available from BetterWorld Telecom, a green company. The discount package includes Cisco Voice over IP phones, hosted Voice over IP, and
virtual PBX phone service for an admin fee of $10, plus discounted rates for phone service and Internet connection, if needed. It's a complete "unified communications" office phone system. For example, voicemails and faxes can be received as email messages,
and users can place or receive office calls remotely through any phone or through a web interface.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The BetterWorld offering is a GreenTech product because it allows employees or volunteers to efficiently work remotely, therefore reducing travel, office space, and hardware requirements and
minimizing environmental impacts. For more on unified communications, read Elliot Harmon's article,

insights to the information hub. Together, we can build a great body of knowledge and resources. Please take a moment to

<h3><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Happy New Year!<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Not everyone is a fan of setting resolutions. However, the beginning of a new year is always a great time to reflect on what we learned during the previous year and review the successes we've
achieved. If you find yourself thinking along these lines, take a few minutes to
<a href="http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=fdXSpJ-PG-wSEOAGBMWcIw.." target="_blank">
share your technology success stories with us</a>, so we can help others learn from your experience. Don't forget that what might be "that's nothing" to you may be an "aha!" to someone else!
