On-Demand
Webcasts
Online Video Used to Generate, Distribute and Archive Online Video for Global
2000 Marketing Initiatives, Branding Campaigns and Educational Programs
Los Angeles, CA – March 5, 2007 – Interactive Video
Technologies (IVT), the leader in the production, management and
distribution of live and on-demand webcasting, today announced
that Cramer has successfully adopted IVT MediaPlatform to
create, deliver and store online
video webcasts for their international client base including,
Bayer, Akamai, and United States Surgical. Cramer is a leading
independent provider of integrated marketing solutions with a
portfolio of clients that cross multiple vertical markets and
span local, regional, national and global geographies.
Cramer has utilized IVT MediaPlatform to provide its clients
with a cuttingedge webcasting solution to manage and enhance
online education, marketing and branding campaigns. The use of
webcasting by Cramer’s clients has increased and expanded the
effectiveness of their customer communications, resulting in
additional lead generation through
IVT MediaPlatform’s unique reporting and tracking functionality.
"We incorporated IVT MediaPlatform into a number of our
interactive offerings because we found through our extensive
evaluation process that it is the most dynamic and reliable
webcasting solution on the market, yet very easy to use,” said
Rob Everton, Creative Technology Director, Cramer. “In some
cases, we create webcasts for 20 or 50 people who are
spread out across the globe, other times our webcasts are to
audiences in the hundreds or thousands. In either case it’s
essential that the events that we produce here at Cramer are not
only reliable, but also have a deep impact on the ability of the
content to connect with key
audiences.”
Cramer has used webcasting for its clients in industries ranging
from life sciences and technology to financial services and
entertainment. IVT MediaPlatform offers a number of uniquely
versatile polling and Q&A features, providing the tools to
handle and sort large volumes of questions and deliver them live
to an on-air presenter, as well as the flexibility to
deliver the questions and their answers via interactive text or
moderated chat. This exceptional functionality provides Cramer
with detailed, statistical measures of the impact that a webcast
is having with the audience, which has allowed Cramer and its
clients to adjust and improve their messaging strategies for
their clients future marketing and communications efforts.
Everton explains how these tools were used recently by a Cramer
client, “We recently handled a live event for United States
Surgical, a business unit of Tyco Healthcare, which
manufacturers wound closure products and advanced surgical
devices. The webcast Q&A required filtering
questions and routing them to multiple doctors who answered them
live over the phone from around the world. The same system
provided doctors with the capability to answer the questions via
text that was read from within the MediaPlatform interface. This
flexibility allows us to provide the right solution for each
unique situation.”
IVT MediaPlatform is a complete webcasting publishing platform
that supports the entire lifecycle of a webcast, enabling
clients to broadly produce, manage, distribute and monitor live
