About the Customer
The four key L&D initiatives are
1. Role-based training
2. Continuing education
3. Executive training
4. Certification – both external and internal certification programs
Challenge: Delivering Global Video-Learning with an Integrated Platform
Video-learning forms an important part of all the 4 initiatives. The L&D department was seeking a platform that would facilitate global video-based learning for its entire employee-base. It had to have the following characteristics:
1. Easy to create custom video-based learning content as per training requirements
2. Secure hosting and streaming of the video-learning content over the Internet; accessible anywhere, anytime
3. Sharing of the content with individuals or groups with enterprise-grade access control for Business Unit specific content and an interactive, collaborative learning experience
4. Viewership tracking, analytics and reporting on the content for formal learning delivery as cataloged video-learning courses
5. Integrate well with the enterprise application ecosystem and the existing L&D processes in the MNC
6. Robust platform that would scale seamlessly based on viewership patterns and the requirements of a growing organization.

The L&D department thus enables the BUs improve their bottom-line and contributes directly to the business goals of the MNC.
