Faegre & Benson

Faegre & Benson enhances its global communications and legal training with Mediasite. This international law firm needed to communicate with employees in the United States, Europe and Asia, as well as with clients in all 50 U.S. states and 60 countries worldwide. It sought a high-quality, video delivery platform that would not detract from the message, so the law firm used extensive resources to integrate various technologies for web communications. But the firm still wasn't completely happy with their video communications solution until it was introduced to Mediasite.

Faegre & Benson immediately began recording high priority, high profile presentations, using Mediasite to webcast legal lectures and international seminars. By June 2005, it was recording, streaming and archiving more than four presentations a month with Mediasite. One of its large conference rooms also plays host to legal lectures, such as a seminar on children's rights. Because some people may not be able to attend, the events are recorded and organizers distribute the Mediasite webcast so additional attendees can watch at their convenience. 

"These types of presentations are a high priority within Faegre & Benson because they are crucial to our firm's mission," said Peter Gorton, presentation services coordinator at Faegre & Benson. "Therefore, each employee must have access to the archived recording. Mediasite allows us to upload the content to the web and make it available to every employee to view at their very own desktop when their schedule permits." 

With Mediasite, the firm is now able to convey emerging information more efficiently and accurately. In an increasingly globalized business world, the firm continues to discover new Mediasite applications on an international level.
