Latin America. With the increasing use of video and the rise of collaboration and social media, organizations are trying to make it easier for their employees to capture and share business information and knowledge through webcasts, recorded video conferences, meetings, training sessions, interviews, and other video material.
Across industries, from healthcare to education, from the global enterprise to local governments, they are expanding their video-enabled applications, to make their staff more connected, informed and more productive.
However, it is not easy for the IT director to provide a suitable video solution to the right people, regardless of whether they are at their desk, on a smartphone or tablet, in a course room or through a multimedia signal on a screen in a boardroom.
In addition, in the social environment in which companies operate, everyone can become a contributor, and many are, through the creation of a large amount of video content, using a variety of devices.
So what's the solution? How can IT managers manage, control and optimize this growing trend of video content, in a secure and scalable way?
Polycom's video content management solutions help capture content from any desktop or mobile device, any room or auditorium, even from unconventional locations.
Then, simple, logical rules are generated that help them manage video content with easy-to-use tools to transform, organize, protect, and analyze video assets.
With these solutions, accessing live or recorded video content is as easy as watching YouTube, which is valuable to access over any network, from anywhere and on any device. Video Content Management solutions include: RealPresence Capture Server, RealPresence Capture Station Pro, and RealPresence Media Manager.
IT administrators can deliver video over any network and minimize impact, controlling how video is routed and cached in local services.
They can also set rules for transforming videos to the right formats for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac, in order to automate processes to ensure the use of IT resources more efficiently.
This way, employees, students and other viewers can find the content they need, live or recorded, on a secure search portal, even from mobile devices. The result is a culture of knowledge sharing where video collaboration offers a tangible competitive advantage.
