Case Study: BAUER achieves 50% travel cost reduction and 30% productivity increase with Webex by Cisco

Online Meetings Make Business Flow Faster

BAUER, an Austria-based manufacturer of irrigation and wastewater machinery with about 650 employees, struggled with inefficient cross-site communication—relying on phones, basic video tools, and frequent in-person meetings that wasted hours traveling, raised costs, and slowed projects to market.

By deploying Cisco’s cloud-based video collaboration (CMR Cloud, WebEx) and video endpoints across key sites, BAUER made virtual meetings, document sharing, and recorded sessions routine. The change cut travel costs by 50%, raised productivity by 30%, shortened time-to-market by 10%, and improved employee satisfaction.
