HD video giant LifeSize communications, recently acquired by Logitech, is bringing a new twist to video conference users, the ability to use your video conference units as a mini production studio, complete with a web based archive system allowing videos to be accessed on demand and as many times as needed.
Where video has traditionally been a site to site, or site to multi site thought process, the video center now allows a way for clients to document any meetings they want, allow for streaming of the content out to hundreds of users, and an easy format to keep the video content available long term for future reference or training.
How many times have you been to a great meeting or great training, only to wish you would have recorded it? Now with the proper setup, anyone conducting a meeting can simply push a record button and their whole meeting, including any contecnt shown on a lap top will be recorded for future access.
The applications for this technology span from sales training, to technical training, to HR policy review. Furthermore the impact in business sectors such as educational and training rich environments is far reaching. Imagine a teacher publishing every lecture on a web portal for students around the world to view over and over again at their convenience. Or the company with a geographically dispersed sales force who can now introduce new products and sales techiniques to their teams at the click of a button
Video has been a technology that many businesses have struggled on how to use in their day to day operations. Thanks to the proliferation of technologies like YouTude, that struggle may be one step clsoer to being solved.
