CatDV for Corporate Video

The Asset Management Challenge

Modern organisations need, more than ever to communicate with their stakeholders: both within and outside the company. Video and audio content now proliferates the companies, across executive briefings, earnings calls, strategic communications, for regulatory requirements, advertising and marketing or staff training, These ‘assets’ can be spread throughout the organisation, on external drives, across teams, with search and retrieval dependent on key individuals at best.

Managing this content: where is it stored, in which formats, how it is secured, shared and found is a real challenge. And an expensive one: storage needs for growing video formats is costly, security requirements are rigorous and IT policies often inflexible.

At the same time, this content is valuable: to engage staff, for business development, for press and investor relations, and as a record of corporate history. How do organisations unlock the value in these media assets?
