- Live streaming of our monthly meetings to users statewide
- Archiving of meetings that correspond with our meeting minutes and allow for precise accuracy of minutes.
- Future use is to live stream/archive user training sessions.
- As a necessary resource for meeting minute accuracy
- Definitely for live streaming end user training sessions.
- It has had a positive impact - it has allowed us to reach more people with our monthly meetings content.
- Product Usability
- Implemented in-house
- None that I know of. I was not a part of the implementation.
- Self-taught
- Starting a streaming run
- Saving the stream
- Occasionally, meetings will need to be trimmed.

- The ability to use the Webex integration
- Quick launch of a webcast
- Player compatibility
- Broad adoption of third party add-ons and hardware encoders
- Tech support turnaround on corrupted VOD videos.
- Channels need to have the ability to stream to two servers simultaneously--like YouTube's ability to stream to two different servers. They also allow you to see the health of the backup stream etc., in real time. Right now the Enterprise® solution for failover includes a 5-second black frame until the backup stream pops up. It also can only be set up by IBM staff as a special request.
- Ability to customize the player. The older Flash-based player allowed for this. A basic customer customizable player like Vimeo would be amazing.

Ustream and eCDN
We also used the Ustream eCDN product to consolidate streams to two of our remote offices .. this ensured multiple, individual streams wouldn't clog the top of our router and impact network performance and user experience at our offices.
- Consolidated interface: ability to manage the entire event from a single pane of glass.
- Role-based capabilities: enabled us to assign our video capture/producer a role so he could manage his aspects of the event without my intervention.
- Reliable network: no issues in performance with our global broadcast.
- Mobile interface: worked like a charm as I prowled the office to ensure viewers were seeing a satisfactory experience.
- More granular pricing; we didn't come near the 30,000-viewer hour limit. However, compared to other providers, their pricing is in line .. just not for a single event.
- eCDN setup documentation: needs work .. did a fair bit of troubleshooting with Tier 2 support before realizing there were aspects with which only Ustream could configure (missing in the documentation).
Mobile consumption: nice mobile experience of a broadcast.
Archive capabilities: content is available for as long as a subscription is maintained.
