Not so long ago in the corporate world, video communications were streamed one way – from the top down. Enter QTube, a corporate-style YouTube at QAD that has cost-effectively improved communication within the organization. Anyone with a laptop, webcam and Mediasite can create and publish videos containing community updates, professional development and training, as well as rate them, see what videos are being watched and which are the most popular.
Perhaps the most authentic marketing comes from organizations that eat their own dog food. Sonic Foundry, the maker of the Mediasite enterprise webcasting platform, uses webcasting extensively for its corporate communications, marketing and customer support. Five years and hundreds of webcasts later, the company is still uncovering new ways to use webcasting to increase engagement, inspire its user community and introduce the medium to new audiences. Plus by eating its own dog food, Sonic Foundry continues to set the standard for industry innovation.
Enterprise webcasting opens the doors of rich media communication for executive briefings, workforce development and training, sales and marketing relations and other information sharing. Yet, with it often come challenges. What’s the best configuration for optimal Mediasite performance? How do I plan my Mediasite deployment to accommodate growing demand over time? How do I accommodate large live viewing audiences?

“If we put it online, no one will show up to our actual event.”“It’s too much of a burden on our presenters.”“We won’t have any control. Everything will end up on YouTube.”

Join us to separate event webcasting fact from fiction as Cody Kleven, Director of Event Services, and Justin Hartman, Event Services Manager, dispel the ten biggest myths about taking your event online.
