How Corporations Use Virtual Worlds

Visionary international corporations – Michelin, IBM, Xerox, Saint-Gobain Glass -- have established and grown significant presences on the Second Life Grid. These organizations have built spaces in Second Life Grid in some of these ways:

• Hold in-person meetings without leaving the office, using real-time 3D collaboration
• Construct product and process simulations so employees and business collaborators from all over the world can test new designs and concepts
• Conduct employee training especially one-on-one training
• Meet with global partners at your virtual headquarters
• Receive product feedback from clients
• Build community around your brand

Facing the challenges of managing and encouraging communications and collaboration within and among global operations, they recognized that the Second Life Grid offers improved organizational performance and reduced operating costs.

Bring my organization onto the Second Life Grid

If you want a permanent place on the Second Life Grid, you can acquire a Private Region that lets you create a secure intranet space with membership restricted to your organization, employees, students, or faculty. Alternatively, you can open up your space to everyone on the Second Life Grid.
