uStudio is a comprehensive enterprise video platform that helps organizations leverage the business value of video for various initiatives. With its smart solution, uStudio enables businesses to manage their video assets efficiently and effectively. The Video Asset Management tool offered by uStudio allows streaming on any device through an end-to-end approach.

uStudio's head of Infrastructure, Chris Krough, encourages IT Professionals to think differently about their cloud deployments.

Every company has different needs, different workloads, different challenges. There's no one set pattern that you can just apply for a cloud deployment. I think that the important thing is to understand your work flow and where the bottle necks are in your applications or where the danger zones are and make sure you’re building around that as an IT professional; moving their existing platform to the cloud, you really need to evaluate how you do things and how your system is architected. The cloud requires different thinking and different patterns need to ask yourself: How does my development work flow fit with the cloud model? How will I handle security? Does my edge security still apply in the cloud or do I need to move these things to the application layer? How can I take advantage of femoral systems and automatic scaling on demand resources? You have effectively limitless pool of resources now and you need to ask yourself how can I apply that to my work flow to make it more efficient to make it faster knowing that you have unlimited resources available that you only need to pay for for an hour or two; makes a dramatic difference in your work flows so you can do things very quickly at scale and then bring them back down. 

You also need to think about security differently. So traditionally, security is very much a perimeter edged based thing so you place firewalls and intrusion detection systems and different layers of security in the physical infrastructure around here your systems, but in the cloud you don’t have that physical infrastructure. You’re kind of in a pool with a lot of other people so you need to move a lot of your security to the application layer where your applications are self defensive and protective even from your own system so from system to system. You want your equipment and your applications to enforce security at every layer in the software itself.

As a technology professional that may have part of their system in the cloud, you need to ask yourself: How much of a particular vendor services? Do I want to adopt? or how many cloud services can I integrate into my company systems and still keep the flexibility and control that we need long term? There's a lot of different services out there for queuing and cashing and storage some of them are broad standard in the industry and some are proprietary, some of them are very good some of them aren’t so good, and you need to really balance the cost effectiveness and the effectiveness of speed of development for some of the better and proprietary ones against the cost of being able to move away being able to get back out of those and make changes as your company changes. The real advantage of the cloud is that your business gets to focus on your product and your customers and not on building out the infrastructure that provides your services.

uStudio CEO Jen Grogono describes how three large enterprises are using the same uStudio platform to power completely different video use cases.

It's hard for a lot of people to imagine that such disparate and different use cases and different business processes that integrate video are all leveraging the same platform capabilities. One of my favorite things about our customer set and about our product is that everyone is using the exact same platform.

I get excited about that because it tells me that we've really mastered the video life cycle. Because the video doesn't know that it's a marketing video, the video doesn't know that it's a support video, or training video. The video is just a video and we treat that video in terms of its life cycle. it gets uploaded into the system regardless of how and who, it gets transcoded and processed so that its able to be delivered. It gets delivered somewhere. It gets watched and consumed and it gets measured. And so all those core functions and then lots and lots and lots of stuff functions underneath are brought to bear on that video lifecycle. 

So Alcon Novartis, a pharmaceutical company, is using our system to manage marketing videos inside of a company cross marketing teams--internationally across leads and customers and prospects. We also have HP that’s using our platform to deliver training materials to
its sales force worldwide inside of the salesforce.com platform. A third example is the University of Arkansas, which is using the exact same platform to power all of their live audio broadcasts of their athletics.

So in each of those examples, the Alcon Novartis, HP training, and University of Arkansas, you've got extraordinarily different video lifecycles, but still video lifecycles that are being managed inside of the uStudio platform and the exact same uStudio platform that's being used across our entire customer base.

uStudio's head of Infrastructure, Chris Krough, shares his thoughts on the challenges with managing video in the cloud and why uStudio is the ideal video platform for a cloud deployment.

I love managing infrastructure; I love the challenges; I love optimizing and finding that one little knob you can turn to make things that much faster. But in the end, that's not where companies succeed. It indirectly brings value to customers and indirectly makes people money but thats not really where you want to focus your engineering efforts. I’m Chris Krough; I lead the infrastructure team for uStudio.

I like to say that video kind of takes us back five to ten years in technology because video is large. Video is complicated; transferring it from place to place takes a very long time. If you look at standard websites, even complex websites, getting the data around the world is not the biggest problem these days anymore. Those those are fairly solved problems. Video provides a lot of unsolved problems and video technology is growing very quickly. So right when you think that technology is going over overrun video, video moves forward. Its an interesting challenge because as time moves forward and systems get faster, and networks get faster, and 
storage gets cheaper, a lot of technology problems can be solved by what I like to say is brute force; you just purchase more computing power because its gotten cheap enough that you can power your way through these problems.

Video grows more complicated faster than technology solves that problem. So you're always having to be clever and creative in how you solve video problems. uStudio is a video platform for business we manage all of the heavy lifting for you. So we handle storing your videos, archiving your videos, distributing through various pinpoints, giving you a platform where you can organize them, categorize them, and work them into your video workflow. 

We do offer a SAAS platform, where we do everything in the cloud on our platform. We've put the engineering time into our end of the platform so you as a company don’t have to do that development. So, if you want to build your own video workflow and be configurable you have to put in extra expensive engineering time into designing those things and growing them. We've already done that as a core part of our platform. So by using uStudio, you get the benefit of that portability and that configurability; but I think the real advantage is that your business gets to focus on your product and your customers and not on building out the infrastructure that provides your services.

A brief video highlighting how uStudio can solve Sales Training challenges by automating Just-in-Time, in-context video directly inside of any CRM for higher knowledge retention and sales productivity.

I train the sales team. From new hires to experienced reps learning new offerings, they count on me to deliver timely relevant information on market trends, new offerings, and the competition. It's the perfect use of video. It's been shown that we retain just ten percent of what we read; but we routine sixty-five of what's presented visually. Frequent bite sized trainings sink in the best. Plus, you get cost savings. Microsoft found they could cut training costs from three hundred twenty dollars per hour per employee to just seventeen dollars per hour by switching from life trainings to video.

With videos share from uStudio, I can generate the best sales training content just with my phone. I record a customer’s enthusiastic reaction to a new product and as easy as one two three, I've posted it to chatter securely. Video communicates emotions so much better than text and this positive field feedback will motivate the team to sell with confidence. It helps a lot too that people commenting in the chatter feed will draw attention to my post helping amplify my message. Workflow automation also means my training videos can arrive just in time in the context of an account executive’s day. Say the rep adds a new product to an opportunity and our process requires a product specific training here during the launch phase. Salesforce operations can automate a Salesforce work flow so that the context specific training video arrives in the rep’s inbox precisely when it's needed.

But the very best part of VideoShare is that I can see who's viewing my videos when and where; because there's nothing as gratifying as a successful product launch or a new salesperson quickly hitting their stride--except maybe having proof that my training videos helped us get there.
