The Phones:

• Aastra IP phones feature lower carbon footprints by having centrally updatable/upgradeable firmware reducing obsolescence, replacement/manufacturing and recycling of units.
• Also, reduced power consumption, as the displays automatically dim.

Central servers:

• Central, hosted PBX allows for an exceptionally lower carbon footprint, because Origen is different from other companies selling complex equipment and modules. Origen's centrally hosted PBX allows for fewer modules to be manufactured, less electricity is used and equipment is replaced less often due to the software based structure of the system.

The System and Technology:

• A single network and associated wiring is needed for both employee computing and telephony, rather than both telephone and Internet, as was previously the norm.

• Slash the business' carbon footprint, by enabling teleworking employees and minimizing fossil fuel-burning commutes;
