German term

Zeiten und Wege

German to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
More from my marketing brochure on unified communication.

Somehow I can't think Ad-speak this weekend...

This is the sentence:
Visual Collaboration von XXX verkuerzt Zeiten und Wege.

The meaning is clear, but how put it in a snappy way...

Your help is much appreciated!

Visual collaboration delivers the fastest time to value at the lowest cost

or "reduces time-to-market".

Nor quite sure, more context would be helpful.

Please, forget about \"reduces time-to-market\". Just doesn\'t fit.
I have a better idea.

What about a play on words?
Visual collaboration cuts a long distance short (from \"to cut a long story short;-)).
