Companies that shift from traditional to online reduce their operating costs by 65%!
April 7 – London – Knexus’ new research shows that global 2000 companies would save an average $800k (£555k) by switching from traditional marketing expenditure on conferences and training to more flexible online solutions. When travel costs are taken into account, the saving mushrooms to an eye popping $10.5m pa (£7.3m) per company*.

Comparing the current costs with an average spend per user on Knexus Digital of $933 (£648), Knexus has found that a company that shifts from traditional methods of accessing new learning, market intelligence and ideas to an online solution can reduce their operating costs by as much as 65% or $1,845 (£1,279) per marketer.
