What On Demand Will Mean for the Future of Business

Written by Craig Heiman | Feb 10, 2016 10:17:21 AM

It’s difficult enough to set up a conference call when your team is bicoastal; figuring out time zones becomes even trickier when part of your team is overseas, so how can the on demand principals that revolutionized the film and television industries change the future of business?

By creating your own on demand solution.

The education sector has already embraced this technology and it’s no surprise, as young adults have grown accustomed to access information and content in an on demand, access anywhere basis. Universities such as Harvard, UC Davis, and the University of Washington have successfully adapted these solutions in their classrooms by allowing professors to create, record or live stream lectures for students. It’s an effective way for learners to review lectures, or play back a class they might have missed.

And it isn’t just for educators, the health care industry as well as government and corporate environments are opening up to these solutions in growing numbers. Imagine being able to capture meetings, seminars or special events made available live to your entire team or any of your associates or clients. For those that might work from home or live on the other side of the world, you’ll be able to play back, on demand, any time, anywhere and not miss a thing. It’s a cost effective solution that will change how businesses communicate to their team as well as clients.

At AV Planners we particular are impressed by the breakthrough solutions offered by NCast products. The ease of use, automation, and effectiveness of their system, makes distribution a breeze. Simply select one of the preset layouts, which can handle up to 4 layers of multimedia sources including video, image, graphics and PowerPoint presentations. Complete with several standard inputs, the NCast encoder is sure to work with most of your already existing hardware.

Then simply, start streaming.

You can also stream privately and internally or outside the network by uploading to a cloud or server for access from anywhere in the world. Once your presentation is all done, it lives in the cloud, available for on demand through iPads, iPhones, Androids, Laptops or PCs… so you entire team can be filled in no mater where they are.
