Training & Distance Learning

It is an ongoing challenge for many organizations to maximize the expertise of scarce subject matter experts. With recent increases in outsourcing, this challenge becomes even more significant. These subject matter experts need to be able to communicate complex thoughts visually, but travel for in-face meetings reduces productivity, is costly, and can cause significant delays and missed deadlines.

Qumu provides a solution for subject matter experts to easily use video communications to train, collaborate and address problems quickly. The ability to connect to a live video display quickly and easily can save time and money.

Many campuses and businesses are providing distance learning options to students and employees. While some courses may still require a physical classroom, the vast majority of classes can be offered either through live video webcasting or through a library of video on demand courses accessible 24 hours a day.
