Meetings Around the World:
The Impact of Collaboration on Business Performance

"Meetings Around the World" is a global collaboration study conducted by Frost & Sullivan and sponsored by Verizon Business and Microsoft. The study includes the first-of-its-kind Collaboration Index, which measures a company's ability to work together based on technologies such as conferencing and instant messaging, as well as an organization's culture and processes that encourage teamwork.

The Meetings Around the World study surveyed over 900 information technology and line-of-business decision-makers from a cross section of 2,000 small-to-medium, mid-market, and global companies split across the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Meetings Around the World is a continuation of our very popular "Meetings in America" surveys. Meetings in America (MIA) is a series of five surveys that were conducted from 1998 to 2003 (as MCI) to provide insights on conferencing usage trends, business travel habits, and attitudes toward meetings.
