Frisco, TX (PRWEB) November 16, 2009 -- Ignite Technologies, Inc., http://www.ignitetech.com, the leader in providing secure and Enterprise Content Delivery Solutions enabling customers to efficiently publish, deliver and manage digital assets, today announced version 7.10 for the Ignite Content Delivery Solution, supporting live streaming video and on demand downloads. The new release further underscores Ignite’s ability to deliver any content, anywhere, at any time with new features enriching the use of both live and pre-recorded content.
Ignite's Enterprise Content Delivery Solution
Ignite v7.10 establishes the Ignite Content Delivery Solution as a comprehensive delivery platform that supports live streaming video, on demand download or instant view, and targeted push delivery. These delivery methods are demanded by today’s enterprises to securely and efficiently deliver video and rich media for corporate communications, e-learning, and sales.
“To successfully leverage video in the enterprise, large organizations need a comprehensive delivery platform that can integrate with their new and existing corporate communications technologies and devices,” said Melissa Webster, program vice president, content & digital media technologies at IDC. "As our research shows, more than three quarters of large organizations are delivering video on demand to employee desktops today, and by the end of 2010, that will rise to more than 90%, with 80% also delivering live streaming video to the desktop."
In v7.10, Ignite enhanced its Enterprise Streaming solution to include the ability for viewers of live events to submit questions to the presenter directly from the end user interface. Moderators or event producers can view submitted questions in real-time along with context information about the employee who submitted the question such as geographic location, department and other imported information from the company’s user directory.
The moderator can filter questions using custom criteria, prioritize, edit and submit notes concerning the questions to assist the presenter. Presenters can view the questions forwarded by the moderator and choose which questions to address. Following the live event, all the questions are archived to be accessed later in reports, and answers can be pushed to users or made available via on-demand.
“In today’s environment immediate feedback after town hall meetings or quarterly updates is critical in helping to gauge the reactions and concerns of employees,” said Brian Jensen, managing director of global communications for Cushman & Wakefield. “Our executives want employees to be able to submit questions during the live event providing a more engaging, face-to-face experience for the employees.”
In v7.10, Ignite also introduces an Ignite ‘clientless’ capability that greatly extends the reach for Ignite’s audience by providing the ability to view content from devices without requiring the Ignite native client application. For example, when a user requests to view content from a corporate website, if the Ignite client is detected, the user has the option to either download and view the high-quality version or immediately view a lower-quality version online. The viewing option is ideal for enterprises’ partners, customers or employees that often need access to video or rich content from non-enterprise standard computers such as Macintosh, Linux, home and personal computers or mobile devices.
Companies can also leverage this new feature to offer a short preview or trailer of the content to enable the user to determine if they want to download the high-quality version.
“The “YouTube-like’ experience where immediate viewing of the video online from a company’s internet or intranet portals, Microsoft’s SharePoint sites or other media portals further expands on Ignite’s ability to deliver rich media corporate communications anywhere, at any time to any device,” said Vasu Avadhanula, vice president of product management at Ignite.
