Catalyst Resources released a "green audit" of their software-as-a-service (SaaS) collaborative workspace project that allows distributed business teams of all sizes to work virtually and seamlessly online. The AJAX Rich Internet Application (RIA) enabled Catalyst Resources to reduce its carbon impact footprint by 21,000 lbs of CO2 per month, while simultaneously reducing expenses and increasing billable activities by nearly 20%.

Recently Catalyst began to track how the web collaboration solution impacted the company's greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for air travel and local commuting.
