Business Video Breaks Down Borders

The Solution
Kontiki is providing Ernst & Young with a complete end-to-end solution for business video on demand with network-friendly delivery for all employees worldwide. The solution includes three components:
-Kontiki Delivery Management System 3.0. The DMS 3.0 is a software suite which allows Ernst & Young to publish, protect, deliver, and measure video and other rich media. This enables video communications and training for all Ernst & Young employees worldwide. It also includes Grid Delivery Technology that enables secure and centrally managed delivery of video, while greatly minimizing the amount of bandwidth and hardware required for full screen, high quality video communications.
-System Integration. Using XML Web Services, Kontiki is seamlessly integrated with Ernst & Young’s enterprise-wide list management technology, the Global List Management System (GLMS), to allow flexible narrowcast delivery of video to targeted groups as well as broadcast communications to the entire workforce.
-Business Media Services. Kontiki worked together with Ernst & Young in identifying opportunities to easily and cost-effectively create video in house using standard software tools and inexpensive digital video cameras. For example, Kontiki helped Ernst & Young set up several "self-service" video production studios for less than $10,000 each.

How has the system worked so far? The deployment has been completed to over 106,000 desktops/laptops worldwide with high quality video communications and training successfully being delivered to achieve the stated business goals.
