Use streaming technology to enhance your business communications!

Some examples of how businesses are using streaming are listed below:

• AGMs, conferences, company announcements
• Meetings and briefings with geographically wide-spread workforce
• Product launches, training and demonstrations
• Training, employee development and company induction programmes
• Motivating home workers through regular communication

Benefits are:

• Reducing time, stresses and costs associated with travel
• Keeping your employees informed and up-dated on company business
• Reaching large audiences immediately to convey information
• Reduction in venue hire costs associated with conferences, meeting room hire & availability
• Improvement in accessibility and delivery of training
• Ease of access to multi-location and geographically widespread audiences

Businesses are now communicating their annual reports to employees, investors & clients by live or on-demand streaming. Streamed broadcasts from Chief Executives and Managing Directors can be made more interactive, with slide shows, detailing profit and loss graphs and further static information in conjunction with the broadcast.

Streaming is also extremely effective as a communication tool for delivering change management information within businesses e.g. Merger and acquisitions, company restructuring, new key staff members, technology infrastructure changes …

The advantages of using streaming for such business communications are it allows one consistent message to be given, with no opportunity for misinterpretation and it can be delivered quickly to a large audience. It is also possible to restrict availability of messages to certain employees for department specific or sensitive information with password protection – through digital rights management.

Streaming technology has provided an innovative way for businesses to eradicate what were previously geographical boundaries, when wanting to conduct meetings and briefings with colleagues based in different office locations or even countries.

Such demonstrations are also now being shown as small streamed video clips on company websites for clients and potential customers to view.
