When organizations are communicating via audio to a large number of employees, the Qumu Cloud platform will stream the call, effectively taking the load and the expense off of the existing audio conferencing infrastructure. In today’s heavy work-at-home environment, it is not uncommon for organizations to pay $1500 or more for a basic, 2-hour conference call with over 100 attendees—and Kennedy believes the Qumu solution can lower these costs by 50% or more.
“Our platform makes a significant positive financial impact with large-audience calls, or smaller audiences that include multi-country participants,” noted Kennedy. “And no matter the size of the call, using Qumu Cloud to stream audio gives organizations access to enterprise-level security, and support for literally any browser-based end-user device—as well as customized portals where calls can be stored, indexed, managed and distributed as on demand assets.”
