Video content spans many use cases across teams within a corporation.
- Marketing uses video for product demos on the corporate website and for live streaming customer-facing events.
- Learning and Development teams use video for pre-recorded and live employee training sessions.
- Human Resources uses it as a recruiting tool and to deliver annual compliance training.
- Corporate Communications uses video for executive all-hands meetings as well as investor and analyst events.
- Sales uses it for readiness training.
- And Customer Service increasingly uses pre-recorded videos to provide web-based “how to” information and troubleshooting support.
While many teams will look to video as a tool to drive their business goals, most are unequipped with the technical capabilities to deploy and manage a video solution. For IT, this creates opportunities to contribute to enterprise growth.
By deploying a video content management system (video CMS), IT can provide its line-of-business partners with an enterprise-wide solution for:
- Reducing training costs. A video CMS simplifies the recording and distribution of training videos, which can lead to substantial cost savings. For example, Caterpillar University found that e-learning yielded a cost reduction of between 40 and 78 percent based on the size of the audience.
- Driving engagement and productivity of a global workforce. Employees located in remote offices can use a video CMS to access live-streamed or on-demand company meetings and events in order to get “virtual face time” with co-workers and executives.
- Finding valuable information locked away in videos. A number of video CMSs automatically add metadata to videos, making it possible to find videos within a massive library, and to search inside videos for words mentioned by speakers or shown on screen.
- Analyzing video viewing trends. This is critical for marketing teams looking to measure the performance of their video-related campaigns. The same reporting can be used by Human Resources to ensure completion of mandatory compliance videos.
- Retaining important organizational knowledge. Video can be one of the most efficient ways to capture the knowledge of subject matter experts and exiting employees. The video CMS provides a central location for storing and sharing this knowledge across the company.
