The enterprise video capture & management space has seen a decade’s worth of change in a matter of months amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. It suddenly became a challenge for corporations and campuses to maintain operations, and for classes, meetings and events to take place in person. Everything and everyone abruptly relied on digital platforms more than ever before, and streaming video’s incredible potential to keep employees and students connected despite distance became front and center.Industries like higher education pivoted quickly to scale use of video technology to set up online classrooms in a matter of days. The conferences and events industry, by contrast, saw a more dramatic interruption – in-person events were suddenly cancelled, leaving important and critical continuing education at risk of being lost. The video capture industry needs to help corporate and educational institutions build the next generation of the classroom and the workplace of the future so that regardless of where students and employees are, everyone will be able to collaborate despite distance. So how will we help our clients arrive at this future? At Sonic Foundry, our Mediasite enterprise video solutions are meeting these new market demands. We are innovating for the classroom of the future, the future of remote work and the pivot to virtual conferences. We are investing in high growth areas to ensure our video solutions lead the way to help schools and organizations teach and communicate effectively. Our work to create integrations with tools like Zoom will allow instructors and employees to turn conference calls into valuable on-demand tools in a secure virtual information hub – Mediasite. Our new virtual event platform is helping meeting planners pivot from in-person conferences to customizable online and – post COVID – hybrid events. I welcome the opportunity to share my perspective on the industry and Sonic Foundry’s initiatives. Please reach out to continue the conversation.
