Case Study: Spark Power Corp achieves a full workday back each week and boosts collaboration with Lifesize

Sparking Change within the Power Industry Through Video Collaboration

Spark Power Corp., a Canadian power services and renewables company with about 400 employees and 16 offices across Ontario, was struggling with costly, time‑consuming travel: five leadership teams and other staff were routinely converging on the Oakville head office for weekly and monthly meetings, causing 16–20 people to lose a full workday (4–6 hours of travel) and creating frustration despite the meetings’ collaborative value.

After adopting Lifesize video communication during a 2016 acquisition, Spark Power deployed Icon 600 room systems and cloud-based web/desktop/mobile clients in every office. Meetings moved to video, restoring the lost workday, raising productivity and employee satisfaction, improving client impressions, and enabling remote knowledge transfer to apprentices—making video a mission‑critical tool for collaboration and growth.
