StreamUK enables the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) to offer branded, interactive webcast interfaces that can be delivered across a world-class network
The Challenge
The IET is one of the world’s leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.
With StreamUK as its partner, the IET provides webcasting services to hundreds of leading global companies and brands, delivering market-leading webcasting production and software. IET offers a number of channels on IET.tv. These channels provide a corporate space to deliver presentations, product launches and demonstrations and similarly provide academic institutions a space to stream conferences and lectures using the Stream Connect software via IET.tv.
The Strategy
The IET had a huge archive of media content which needed to be managed and delivered efficiently via its public-facing site, StreamUK allowed the IET to standardise all its assets and enabled rapid categorisation and distribution on IET.tv with Stream Connect. Stream Connect allows the IET to offer branded and interactive webcast interfaces that can be delivered across a world-class network.
StreamUK also migrated IET’s content, consisting of thousands of assets, onto the StreamUK Media Hub platform (also used by the BBC) to drive IET.tv’s channel-based site structure.
Combining automated transcoding with intuitive moderation and distribution tools, StreamUK’s media Hub is used retrospectively with existing media as well as providing advanced content management for the future.
The Results
Stream UK has allowed the IET to maximise the value of its content by streamlining the process of content management and distribution.
