With the usage and popularity of video becoming ever more common, we decided it was time to take a closer look at some of the fundamental ways our business communicated with both our staff and customers alike.
At present we were communicating with our out based satellite office staff via the phone, email and physical news letters and mailings, whilst our local office based staff were just bombarded with internal emails. We decided to try and change the structure of our communication with staff to a more personal concept and streaming pre made videos via the internet and our own internal intranet seemed like the next best option to personal meetings.
Making short information communication videos to stream to our employees is light work these days, with a built in web cam, one can create an interesting, informative corporate news type video far quicker than you can type an email on your laptop. Videos seem to have the benefit of coming across to staff on a far more personal scale, they are more like a one to one.
One area where we had to make a large decision was on the IT side of our business, we had decide weather we were going to use a third party vendor for our video streaming server service, or keep it in house as we have always done in the past with our IT applications. If were to keep our IT in house, we would need our own streaming video server to control the access and distribution of our video content, as we decided we only wanted some of our content to be published on the internet.
The worlds most famous search engine also offer a streaming video server service, which runs under the Google Docs banner, the service looks great and real value for money, but this would mean putting an outside company in the driving seat of our IT department, which is something we always wanted to avoid.
On our search for further information on the right streaming video server, we came across http://streamingvideoserver.org , which had a large collection of informative videos related to our decision making process on video streaming servers to find the right server solution for our business.
