Webcasting has recently secured the rights for Australia for Accordent Technologies product range including the famous e-learning platform using Presenter Plus and Presenter Pro Enterprise, we also launch the their NEW capture station solution.

The creation and management of rich-media is of chief importance to enterprise communications, not just in terms of effective webcasting, interactive marketing and the delivery of powerful learning content but also in the organization and monitoring of their effective use within an organization.

One-size-fits-all solutions often fail to take the specific needs of enterprise-level clients into account, and rarely provide a seamless process between the creation and management of your media. Accordent Technologies specialize in doing just that - delivering tailor-made media creation and management solutions to universities, the public sector and corporations alike.

Whether your organization is looking for rich media solutions for marketing, internal training, distance based learning, e-commerce, collaborative R&D or corporate communication Accordent has a number of options that might just suit your needs, and the ability to customize their products to the exact requirements of your organization.

In this overview of the Accordent suite of solutions, I take you through the different components available, and demonstrate how they can effectively fit into your existing organization infrastructure.

These components fall into two distinct categories, the first three falling into content creation, and the last one into content management. These are:

• Accordent Capture Station - a turnkey appliance that effectively gives you a high-powered webcasting solution to broadcast your rich media presentations around the world
  
• Accordent PresenterPLUS, which gives you the power to edit, manage and customize your presentations into more polished rich media presentations, with none of the hiccups and foibles of the live version
• Accordent PresenterPRO, a webcasting solution that allows you to both optimize network bandwidth behind the firewall, or reach an audience of thousands by simultaneously broadcasting to a number of content delivery networks at once
• Accordent Media Management System, a means of establishing an online communications management infrastructure for bringing in, organizing, searching, publishing and securing multi-level access to Accordent presentations and other multimedia communications

Accordent solutions are unlikely to be of interest to small SOHO businesses and independent publishers, for whom there are already a great many alternatives suited to their needs. However, enterprise customers - regardless of their sector - may well find a solution to their rich media recording, broadcasting, editing, delivery and monitoring needs in the Accordent Suite.
