Case Study: Rho grows WebEx adoption and saves over $150K with Vyopta vAnalytics

Rho World Saves Money and Grows WebEx Adoption with vAnalytics

Rho, a privately held contract research organization in Chapel Hill, NC, needed a better way to manage the mix of conferencing and web sharing tools its employees had adopted over time. This variety made it difficult for central IT to control costs and optimize usage, while low confidence in the platforms limited employee adoption. Vyopta’s vAnalytics was used to help Rho understand existing usage patterns and support a move to a more standardized collaboration environment.

Vyopta helped Rho evaluate the most popular platforms already in use and choose WebEx for its flexible licensing and simple interface, while vAnalytics tracked usage and the effectiveness of training efforts. The results were strong: active users grew from under 10% to over 50% in three months, video users increased more than 5x in 90 days, and Rho identified more than $150K in potential savings in licensing and audio costs.
