Streaming Media - An Ideal Delivery System
What exactly IS streaming media? Webopedia.com defines it as follows: A technique for
transferring data such that it can be processed as a steady and continuous stream.
Simply put, streaming is nothing more than a very efficient system for file delivery.
Audio and video content that is streamed promises quick access to crucial content without the
aggravating wait for files to download. Downloading requires that files be sent to the user's PC in
their entirety before they can be played; MP3 audio is a perfect example of this. The files then
remain on the user's machine until they are deleted. Streaming continuously sends these same
files, which have already been digitized, to the user's PC while the user is listening or watching.
When the stream is ended, no data is left behind on the user's machine.
Streaming presentations can be fully interactive, too. Links can be embedded in the presentation
providing the opportunity to direct your visitors to additional web pages or to that all important
order form.
Streaming for Training
Streaming is the perfect delivery method for all types of corporate and consumer training.
Hosting and archiving costs are far less than the costs to arrange sessions, duplicate videotapes
and getting manuals printed. Streams are available 24 hours a day and can remain on your web
site for as long as they're needed. New employees, customers, and visitors easily access
streams. Unlike teleconferencing, participants can set their own times for training.
This is crucial for a sales force in different locations and employees on different shifts.
