Companies like IBM, Cisco and Intel Corporations use virtual worlds for meetings, interviews, guest speaker events and training for other employees. The people at IBM are truly embracing virtual worlds they have created for their employees. Chuck Hamilton, the virtual learning leader at IBM’s Center for Advanced Learning, claims that virtual worlds are ideal for the company. Hamilton recently told Hypergrid Business that “At IBM, we have over 400,000 employees and 70 percent or so are outside the Americas and 44 percent of the population works outside a traditional office — we are virtual by nature.”
