Q & A: Streaming Demystified
Power Meetings Update met with Vice President and General Manager of IVCi, Chris Böttger, to discuss IVCi streaming solutions:
PMU: Why is streaming complimentary to video conferencing?
CB: Streaming allows you to cost effectively extend the reach to those participants that need limited interaction or can't attend a meeting live.
PMU: So how do you create a stream?
CB: All of your video conferencing systems can be used to record a stream with or without slides. That is a powerful way to leverage your existing investment. It can extend streaming beyond typical training applications and briefings all the way to it being used to record a meeting that someone has missed.
PMU: But isn't one of the biggest problems in how you manage that stream?
CB: Absolutely. Unless you are able to easily manage that piece of capital intellect that you have created its useless. We can set up individual channels per company, just like on your TV. That way Sales and Marketing have their own channel that does not give them rights to Engineering who have a different one. At the same time everyone can have access to the important CEO briefings that can now happen twice a month instead of once a quarter typically.
PMU: So how do you distribute that stream once you have created it?
CB: One of many values that we provide at IVCi is choice. We can provide the whole solution as a service using the public internet for those organizations that wish to have public access. If you want more security and the ability to do unlimited streaming for a fixed cost each month we can host and manage it for you on our IntelliNet network. Finally, we can install inside a customer's own network. The technology that we deploy is very powerful and addresses all of the firewall, bandwidth and access issues that traditionally have plagues other solutions.
PMU: Finally, how will this make a difference to organizations?
CB: Applications such as CEO briefings, project meetings, employee orientations, new product announcements become far more effective. The bottom line is that in combinations with video conferencing and streaming, organizations will be able to get products to market quicker, get strategic messages out when they need to and increase morale by staying in touch with the employees. All of this has a direct result on the bottom line.
